Welcome

Appointments are preferred and prioritized… Walk-ins are Welcome. 

Tuesdays are by appointment only.  If you want to see a particular dog or cat, please make an appointment so we can ensure that animal is at the shelter for you to meet.  Prospective adopters may walk-in and see the shelter pets, but those with appointments will take priority. Additionally, those who walk-in without an appointment will not be able to adopt on the same day. Also, we can only do dog-to-dog introductions by appointment. Thank you for understanding!
