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.

AVOID THIS PLACE AND MAKE IT GO OUT OF BUISNESS. I contacted Mary about a dog in her facility on 8/31/21. I picked up the dog on 9/4/21 after being promised he's not aggressive with other animals and that he's great with cats. He not only was extremely food aggressive, he attacked my cat. This was a great pyrenees, a 105lbs dog I was promised was safe and knew commands. He was not crate trained, he did not know any commands, and he attacked my cat that could have died (thankfully he did not). I returned him on 9/7/21 and Mary stole my money on 9/14/21. When I recieved the dog he was matted, dirty, and his claws were grown into his paws. Her kennels are disgusting, the dogs are kept in the dark in a barn and Mary is a vile human. I am currently in the process of disputing the charges and suing her and her business.
Extremely unprofessional, disorganized, and severely lacking transparency. We were forced to finalize our adoption of our new pup before we were allowed to see any of her records or verify that she had any. We kept getting told she was fine and up to date, but they adamantly refused our requests to verify this. Once we finalized our adoption, we received several email with incorrect records, or documents that we submitted ourselves for the adoption process. After doing my research, I found that this is par for the course with this group. They fabricate stories about their animals to try and get them adopted faster, and they refuse pertinent information for adopting parties to try and strong arm the money before you are allowed to make sure your rescue isn't bringing disease or parasites home to your family or other animals. I'm glad we saved our new pup from these people, as she deserves a good home. But this organization does not deserve to rescue animals, nor do they deserve money to do so. If you are considering rescuing an animal, I implore you to look elsewhere, as this group will undoubtedly sell you snake oil and belittle you for trying to do your due diligence.
