OUR SERVICES
Crisis Sheltering
We provide 60-90 days of emergency pet sheltering and fostering to people experiencing a crisis or temporary hardship. Our program is for individuals who would otherwise be forced to surrender their cherished pet to a shelter, rescue, or be required to permanently rehome them to another family. The pets are sheltered at our partner boarding facility, Dogs All Day, or in private foster homes through our Foster Sitter network. There is no cost to the client to use this service. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, if needed.
Grooming
We provide free grooming services to all our sheltering clients, free of charge. We also provide free grooming to
low income members of the community one day a month.
Vaccinations
We offer pop-up vaccination clinics to the community every quarter. We provide core vaccines to both cats and dogs, microchips, food, leashes, collars, and a pet ID tag. There is no cost to clinic clients.
We also offer free vaccines to unsheltered individuals with pets, as well as individuals who have a referral from a social service agency.
Miscellaneous Services
In addition to our 24-hour sheltering services, we provide doggie daycamp services to individuals in need. We offer this service to people who may be residing at a resource center but need to work, attend medical appointments, or court hearings.
​
We have a fund to assist our sheltering clients with paying housing application or pet deposit fees. We provide a free pet ID tag to all clients in need. We also pay shelter impound fees for pet guardians in order for them to reunite with their pets.
