ABOUT US  

   We are an open intake shelter serving Graham and Young County. We aim to provide safe haven for unwanted animals. We provide shelter, food, comfort and socialization for the animals in our care. We work closely with Animal Control, Police and Sheriff Departments.

We have the P.E.T.S. satellite clinic on site to offer low cost spay and neuter services and affordable vaccinations and other preventative care several times monthly. Our hope is that one day our community will understand and embrace spay and neuter as the only way out of our overpopulation problem. We cannot adopt or rescue our way out of this problem.

We are a 501c3 non profit organization and we rely on donations from those who care as much as we do to keep the shelter open and operating properly. We can always use volunteers and fosters. We have a wish list of supplies for those who wish to help: bleach, laundry detergent, fabuloso, dog and puppy  food,  puppy pads, cat and kitten food dry and canned, copy paper, treats, gift cards, gas cards, paper towels, toilet tissue, batteries, mops, medium and large sized disposable gloves, and plastic throw away spoons.

We also have some big wishes: color printer, quaratine building,  surgery wing.

We run 74% of our operations from community donations.
