Lost Pets
Please call us if you have lost your pet or have found a stray pet in the area. We keep a list of lost-and-found pets in order that we may help reunite lost pets with their owners. Although your pet may not be at our animal shelter, chances are good that someone has notified us of your lost pet and is keeping it safe and comfortable until the owner is found.

How You Can Help
Volunteers from the community are welcome and encouraged to assist at the shelter after receiving some basic instruction in animal care and handling. We are always looking for volunteers to help.
Donations of old clothes, towels, etc. for warm bedding, dry pet food, treats, cat toys and raw hide chews, etc are greatly appreciated by our staff and animals alike.
To make our pets as comfortable as possible while they are with us, we are looking to update our dog beds. Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for another dog to sleep in comfort, please click here or on the ad to the right.
