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.

Positive Reinforcement Training

Our behavior rehabilitation and training methods focus exclusively on positive reinforcement, helping to strengthen the relationship between guardians and their pets. Reward-based training is the most effective way for animals to learn. After all, training should be a fun and rewarding experience for both of you!

Healthy Relationships

We’re building lifelong relationships with our companion animals, sharing the incredible bond between people and pets. With our programs, animals learn to trust again. They gain mental, emotional and physical strength and find their way to families who will give them the unconditional love they so deserve.

Join us for a dog behavior workshop

Does your dog go bonkers when the doorbell rings or when you grab the leash to take him for a walk? If you find your dog is often difficult to control, you are not alone!

On Saturday, June 9, we will be hosting a workshop led by Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Certified Dog Behavior Consultant Nan Arthur. She will help you identify the factors that cause this excitable behavior in dogs and provide you with key training exercises to teach your dog how to calm down, pay attention to you, relax, and respond to everyday situations with confidence and composure.
