Overview
Mission
We work with the local animal control officer so that dogs are not euthanized. We provide proper vet care and spay neuter and adopt them to qualified homes. We also help low-income members of our community by giving them dog food and providing funds so their dogs can have proper vet care and spay neuter.
What it reported doing in 2025
We handled a hoarding case involving over 40 dogs - we were able to work with other rescues to find care and homes for all of these dogs We spayed and neutered over 30 community dogs in addition to the dogs that were adopted through the Rescue.

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up.
