What we aim to solve

Our mission is to decrease the euthanasia rates in our county by rescuing cats and dogs from the shelters and care for them until they find their forever home. We offer services to low income families who qualify to help offset the cost of spay/neuter

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Our organization is aiming to educate the public on animal rescue and the importance of spay/neuter procedures to decrease overpopulation.

Our strategies to promote adopting from rescue organizations. Educating the public through events and through social media about rescuing and our work in providing a safe place until the animals are adopted. Promoting our Spay/Neuter assistance program on our website as well as social media.

We have an onsite free roaming cat facility where our cats and kittens who were rescued reside. We take care of them and promote them available for adoption. We have a fund just for our spay/neuter program that is run by our volunteers. We are able to cover much of their costs depending on their household income.

We keep track of our intake and adoptions through Shelterluv.com We keep track of our Spay Neuter Program through a detailed spreadsheet

So far this year we have adopted out over 275 animals and assisted over 100 people with spay/neutering their animals. We are looking forward to growing our Foster program and a bigger space to be able to house more animals.
