OUR
PHILOSOPHY
We believe in the power of the human-animal bond and that people and their pets are better together. In everything we do, we seek to support people and their pets so that only animals with no other options will need to come to the shelter. We believe that animal shelters should be resource centers that support all members of the community and we believe in adopting innovative programs and best practices for animal welfare organizations because it leads to life-saving and preserves resources for the animals who need them most.
