Shelter Animal Getaway

Sometimes adult pets need a break from the shelter until they’re adopted. They tend to be dogs and might be longer-residents or dogs who aren’t coping well in the shelter environment.

Cute Kittens

Kitten Season

Caring for cats and kittens, especially mama cats who have recently given birth, then continuing to care for her family until they are ready for adoption.Throughout the spring and summer, and into fall, we are always in need of fosters for adult cats, young kittens, bottle-baby kittens and mother cats with kittens.
