In doing so, we strive to: * Provide compassionate care for cats and dogs on their journey to compatible and loving homes. * Engage our community and serve as a resource for a variety of pet-related topics and challenges. * Team with volunteers of all abilities and strengths to build a robust network of support in our community. *Strengthen the human-animal bond through advocacy, humane education and promotion of animal welfare initiatives. By working together, we can change the lives of the dogs and cats that have forever changed us.
