Hours of Operation

Tuesday through Friday 11-4

Saturday 10-3

Closed Sundays and Mondays

*Spay/Neuter appointment check in time is 8:30-9:00 regardless of regular business hours. If you have an appt, and we told you 8:30-9:00 for drop off, please come during that time. Please do not wait until we open. This will delay your pets surgery.

If you are looking to view our adoptables, please just scroll straight down the page and you'll see the cats first and then the dogs. 

Please understand that not all available animals are listed on our website or may lack photographs (most likely due to energy level and inability to take appropriate pictures worth viewing).

It is important to know that we do not walk through to view the available dogs, and why we do not.  There are multiple reasons, as not all dogs in our care are available for adoption, or belong to us. (1) Some are (at times) court cases which are not viewable to the public as a result of those court cases. (2) Some are Boarding, therefore they have owners and are simply just visiting.  (3) Some do not present well in the kennel and this isn't always the best first impression. We encourage individual introductions outside of the kennel area so that you can meet them in their best light. (4) It is also incredibly loud in the kennel area during walk through's and therefore staff cannot communicate with you regarding any questions you might have. Please understand this process is for the best interest of the dogs in our care. The less we overstimulate them the more relaxed they will be.

Grace

A more dainty pit bull terrier, about 3-4 years old, we have had her for over a year. She is  so sweet and can't get close enough to you. She's a lady and just wants to be loved. Her ears are mis-shapen due to ear infections that went too long without treatment. Good with some dogs her size but no cats. Spayed, all vaccines, microchip ready to go.
