Overview
Mission
We are working toward the day when in gaston county, animal abuse, in all forms, will be finished and there will be a loving, caring home for every animal and pet.
What it reported doing in 2025
We make our citizens aware of the fact that over 10,000 animals are euthanizied in gaston county every year. They die not because of their mistakes but because of irresponsible pet owners who neglect, abuse, or abandon them. We focus on short, near, and long term initiatives to ensure the well-being of animals in a variety of contexts and settings. Due to zoning restrictions we are not able to house any animals at this location.
