Love & Let Live
Every animal deserves a second chance at love — and life. We invite you to be part of the solution and give back to the animals who give us so much.
For starters, it saves lives.
As an open-admission, truly no-kill shelter, we are always at capacity. So it only takes one big intake day, or a hoarding case, or the seasonal peaks we see with kitten season and before holidays, for us to find ourselves in a space crisis. On any given day, we might have more than 100 animals in foster homes! Without our fosters opening their hearts and homes to the animals who need a temporary break from shelter life–or a home in which to heal–we simply wouldn’t be the no-kill shelter we are today.
Our Foster Program also provides an opportunity to introduce a pet in need of fostership into your home without making a lifelong commitment. If you’re unsure about adoption, this is a great way to dip your toes into the water.
“Some dogs don’t adapt well to the shelter environment. They become anxious, depressed, withdrawn, and some completely shut down and stop eating. Fostering these dogs is life-saving. Once they are in a loving home environment, you can see their fears subside over time and their personality starts to bloom.”
