ATTENTION: As of April 7, our dog adoption wing will be closed for kennel repairs. This will affect a number of things with our dogs.
We do have dogs still up for adoption, but the meet and greet and potential adoptions with available dogs will be done by appointment only.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY the intake of owner surrendered dogs will cease until all repairs are complete.
The repairs, which are both for the safety of our dogs and for kennel regulations, will take anywhere from four to six weeks and we will do our best to keep you informed.
Cat adoption is still open to the public, but our dog adoption area is closed until further notice.
We appreciate your understanding and patience with us as we make our dog adoption kennels better for our babies.
