Thank you for being patient with us in 2023! We have seen a big increase in animals coming to us in the past year. Between the higher volume of animals and some staffing issues, we were doing “by appointment only” for a while.
We have also found that limiting the number of people into the shelter to meet animals has dramatically improved the animals’ health and behavior. Fewer visitors means less stress and less illness for the animals (and our staff!). If you are interested in adopting, please fill out the pre-approval form before your visit!
