Spring 2023 Lottery
Tickets are on sale for the 2023 Spring Lottery. You can purchase tickets here. The funds raised from the lottery helps provide shelter, food and medical care for vulnerable animals. The animals WIN every time you buy a ticket.
Rabbit Hop-a-thon
For the entire month of February all our rabbit adoption fees are 50% off! There’s never been a better time to hop on over to find that special bunny friend!
Get Your Dog Licence Online!
A dog licence is your best insurance for the safe and quick return of your family member. It also makes your dog instantly identifiable to anyone who may come across your pet and helps avoid the daily boarding charge. Best of all, a lost licensed dog will likely be at the shelter for just hours, not days. Learn more.
