Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

If there are no adoptions of animals in the shelter - they are not put to death. They live there at the very least in company on their own species, wandering inside and outside in peaceful coexistence.

We found this shelter - when there was NO shelter available in our area of the state and all Cincinnati no kill shelters were at capacity - acting mainly as residential sanctuaries. We stumbled upon this and felt it to be a life saver!

The man who works most of this shelter is a kind hearted person who allows the animals their space in their initial shock at a new residence but within a very short time he has bonded and brought a sense of security to the animal quickly. The freedom of movement they enjoy also helps.

This no kill shelter has relations with local pet stores to hold until good match is made for re-homing the animal. The turnover for 4 cats my sister fostered 2 - 3 weeks for the last one - almost immediate for the first 3.

My sister and I have fostered cats who then went to the shelter to be given homes with families who qualified as pet owners.

Any animal who is not adopted will become long term resident rather than discarded due to high volume of animals on the outside. This place will take in to capacity and value each life equally.

All animals brought to this shelter/habitat are immediately spayed or neutered and given all shots and treatment for any illness. I have donated to help this cause and encourage all who bring an animal to do so as well as they are able.
