The purpose of the society is the prevention of cruelty to animals, the relief of suffering among animals, and the extension of humane education.  Our goal is to improve the health and welfare of the animals in our community, to educate the public into becoming responsible animal owners and to be a part of a new community shelter with and education center.

We are 100% staffed with volunteers.  No one receives a paycheck for what they do with us.  All of your donations go towards our many programs.

Pet Memorials offer grieving owners and their loved ones an opportunity to honor the life of a beloved pet.

Rebates are offered periodically in the year to promote healthy animals and encourage sterilization.  Click Here for your certificate.
