About
If you love animals as much as we do, you understand why we work so hard to provide the best life possible for the animals in our care and the people who bond with them. Yes, we provide safe shelter, sustenance, medical treatment, and enrichment to thousands of abused, neglected, abandoned or lost animals in our community but most importantly we offer these pets a second chance at finding loving, happy homes.
We aspire to improve the quality of life for companion animals in our community through education, adoption, and the enforcement of animal welfare legislation.
Why is this important?
For animals, a life where they are loved and cared for ensures they are free from distress and discomfort. For people, connecting with and caring for an animal creates healthier and happier homes. We like to say that we are at the centre of a happy community of people and their pets. It thrives because of the dedication of our people, the people we serve, and the animals we nurture together.
Together with donors like you we can ensure that all animals who come through our doors receive the care they deserve and are matched with loving homes.
