Donate Locally
Time and again, wonderful folks tell us, “I donate to the humane society!” Often, what they actually mean is that they donate to the Humane Society of the United States, which is NOT affiliated with local humane societies like us.

Where Are The Dogs
Have you heard? There’s a dog shortage at shelters and rescues right now. We’ve been hearing it from everyone, and experiencing it firsthand here at our adoption center.
