Find a barn buddy
Barn Buddies are cats that would not be happy living inside in homes and would make great “working cats” for barns with a heat source or other outdoor structures. Learn more here.
Get Your Dog Licence Online!
A dog licence is insurance for the safe and quick return of your family member, makes your dog instantly identifiable to anyone who may come across your pet, and helps avoid daily boarding charges. Best of all, a lost licensed dog will likely be at the shelter for just hours, not days. Learn more.
