The shelter is beyond capacity. Due to a sudden increase in owner surrendered pets and strays over the last 2 weeks, we are bursting at the seams. Dogs of every size including many pure breeds as well as kittens of every color are currently available for adoption. PLEASE adopt a shelter animal TODAY!
