Founded in 1928 using dismantled parts from an old hanger, we are, 81 years later, at the same location and stronger than ever, already 80% ahead of our 2008 record of finding homes for 1,096 dogs and cats. Ours is a mission of saving lives; once the animals are saved they must be nurtured and cared for. Volunteerism is the heart of our success. volunteers clocked 21,000 volunteer hours last year, which equates to 10 full-time employees, maintaining the health and well-being of the animals entrusted to our care
