We would like to see a shelter become a first choice as a resource for help with animals—instead of a last stop.
Our goal is to make life an option for animals in need and the people helping them. We view our relationship with the community as a partnership. We are committed to spending the time, energy and resources needed to help the animals in it.
Let’s talk about your situation and see if we can come up with a solution that keeps your family together. Click here to contact us.
Financial Assistance Programs
There’s a lot of help out there. If you’re struggling to afford veterinary care, being proactive can help.
- Work with your vet to reach a reasonably priced solution – You can always ask them if there is any room to budge on the pricing
- Get a second or third opinion veterinary opinion – There is nothingwrong with comparison shopping in veterinary services
