In August of 1998, a group of four hosted a meeting to call on the community for help in establishing a no-kill animal shelter.  Within six months we had property donated, pledges and donations.  Our permanent shelter was erected by volunteer and donated help with the grand opening of the facility on January 20, 2001.  Over 10,000 dogs and cats have been placed in loving, responsible homes, and we have reunited over 3,000 animals with their owners.  Currently our shelter, built to hold around 80 dogs and cats, is home to up to 125 healthy, adoptable animals. We also have a resident feral cat colony of 62 that we manage.  It is with thanks to our community and the surrounding communities that we have grown so quickly and accomplished so much.
