You can be a lifesaving bridge to get a pet to adoption, whether that's an infant kitten or puppy, an adult recovering from a medical need, or a shelter pet needing a break.

Get kids involved

Volunteering at a young age is a life-changing experience. Kids 8-12 can volunteer with a chaperone, and starting at 13 they can volunteer independently.

Need help?

Supporting our community by providing the resources needed to improve the lives and well-being of animals is what we do.

Lost & found pets

Losing your furry friend or finding another’s beloved animal can be a harrowing and emotional process.

Reporting animal cruelty

"See something, say something." Most cases of cruelty or neglect come to light when someone close to that animal makes a report.

Pet food assistance

No one should have to part with their pet for financial reasons. Our pet food programs help pets stay with the families who love them.

Behavior resources

Through our behavior team, we're able to offer free support to our adopters, foster families and pet owners seeking behavior assistance.

The power of our work

Neighbors couldn’t take hearing this sweet pup being beaten in one of the other apartments and contacted our Animal Protective Services (APS) team. Our officers executed a search warrant, seized her, and charged the owner with animal cruelty. She weighed almost half her ideal weight, her skin was in poor condition, but even worse were the wounds inside. She winced, cowered and urinated from a life of being treated as a “bad dog.” Our APS team fought for her freedom for 241 days. During that time, two of our volunteers fostered her. They named her JoJo and worked hard to heal her heart and build her confidence. Along the way, they fell in love and made it official once our officers won her freedom.
