HELP US HELP THEM
Our responsibilities as staff and volunteers at the shelter are to house, love, train, care for and find loving homes for the dogs and cats brought into our custody through no fault of their own. Some are abandoned, surrendered or simply unwanted. Our goal for this event is to raise enough money to renovate and expand the current shelter in order to provide more space and better health care for all of the animals in our charge. Please help us help them!
