Saving More Lives

Our highly effective programs enable us to achieve a 92% live release rate. We are dedicated to making successful matches between our animals and adopters. With our high adoption rate and short stays for our animals, we have the ability to transfer in animals from other shelters that need relief and save even more lives in our entire region.
