Meet Your Perfect Match
You could be gazing at the animal of your dreams, but you can't tell what she's thinking behind that furry face.  What if you knew a little something about her personality and habits before you move in together?  We are the guardians for all the animals in our care and want every cat and dog find the home and family best suited for them.  But not every animal will do well in every home.  There is a knack to finding a good match and we pride ourselves on taking the necessary steps and time to do that.


Adoption Hours:

Would you like some relish with your Pickle? Pickle is a very sweet 10 lb Jack Russell mix.

Pickles will be very protective of his home and family.  He came to us because his family was no longer able to care for him.
