We operate an adoption center and fundraising thrift store. We offer grass roots outreach programs to help people keep their pets instead of surrendering them. Our mission is to provide and promote the education and programs necessary to eliminate the killing of homeless dogs and cats and to prevent cruelty to animals. We are in need of volunteers at our thrift store (located at 1241 West Ave). Our greatest needs are at the thrift store, where we need volunteers to help with processing and we occasionally need volunteers at our adoption center in the area of building and yard maintenance. |
