This Is The Place
This is the place that houses hundreds of animals looking for a home and may be just miles from your house.
This is the place that helps strays and helps the community in so many ways it’s hard to count.
This is the place that has been here for over sixty-five years in the same building.
This is the place where the dog that had a home for ten years was found tied to our fence.
This is the place that adopted that dog out to a new family.
This is the place where you found your best friend.
This is the place that bottle-fed your service dog.
This is the place you rushed your cat to when you found him hurt in the road.
This is the place where your puppy lived before Santa delivered him.
This is the place that cries with or for you when it’s time to say goodbye
This is the place you came to when you finally felt ready for another pet.
We heal the hurt, treat the sick and loved the unloved.
This is the place that was known as the dog pound.
We are so much more than that.
And this is the place that needs you now.
Donate. Foster. Adopt. Support No-Kill.
