Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

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!

Feral Cat TNR Program ★★★★★ 1 average

  • ★★★★★posted by ElaineTanHuber, on 2014-12-04 00:02:08

    No real program. Sometimes it's done but usually feral cats are euthanized.

High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter ★★★★★ 1 average

  • ★★★★★posted by ElaineTanHuber, on 2014-12-04 00:03:12

    No spay/neuter program offered to the public. Only adoptable impounded animals are spayed/neutered.

Rescue Groups ★★★★★ 4 average

  • ★★★★★posted by ElaineTanHuber, on 2014-12-04 00:04:59

    Rescues are welcome to pull animals that are scheduled to be euthanized. If no rescue is available the animal is euthanized.

Foster Care ★★★★★ 3 average

  • ★★★★★posted by ElaineTanHuber, on 2014-12-04 00:09:11

    Use to be very active program. The young and sick may be fostered but behaviorally challenged aren't usually fostered.

Comprehensive Adoption Programs ★★★★★ 5 average

  • ★★★★★posted by ElaineTanHuber, on 2014-12-04 00:10:30

    Great program for the animals that are made available. Unfortunately, not all are given that chance.

Pet Retention ★★★★★ 4 average

  • ★★★★★posted by ElaineTanHuber, on 2014-12-04 00:11:41

    Adopters can call for advice. Screening process helps to match pets with prospective pet parents.

  • Will it cost me money to take a dog to the pound, I only have a 13-15 an hour part time job. The owner lost her job and is at risk of losing her house. In took the dog because I didn't want her to take the dog to the pound. I tore the tendants in both hands/arms at work, today was my first day of physical therapy. Please contact me asap I foster 8 other dogs.

  • I need a new home for my 7-year-old cat, Aladdin. He's neutered, completely catbox-trained and affectionate. He loves to play and loves his treats. I'm forced to give him up for adoption due to severe family problems within my family. I am willing to travel anyplace in Southern California to give him a home. I hope someone can help.

  • I have two adorable cats Slick and Ms Bit. Due to my husband having a stroke and I am moving out of state I need a loving home for my two cats. All of their shots are up to date. They are presently staying at a kennel but it is getting expensive to keep them there so I need to find a great home for them. Their names are Slick and Ms Bit. Slick is a male cat and he is white with a black heart on one side of his body and a black shape on the other side of his body. Ms Bit is a female and she is black with a white under belly. They are about six years old. Slick weights 15lbs. and Ms Bit weights 13lbs.
