Our mission is to place every pet that enters our shelter into a loving, permanent home; and to motivate our local community to support our shelter, its no-kill mission, and spay-neuter efforts through donation, volunteer, and adoption opportunities...until every pet goes home.

The shelter is in urgent need of LYSOL LIQUID CLEANER, DRY PUPPY FOOD, and KITTEN FOSTERS. Thank you!

Our Featured Dog (To see all of our available dogs, click here.) MIRACLE Miracle has come a long way from being the skinny little puppy running down Interstate 71 with a huge chain around her neck and a leg injury back in April, 2009. She was adopted, but returned because her owner did not have enough time to care for her. Miracle is a graduate of Pit Bull University, and is currently going through Canine Good Citizen training. Miracle is housebroken, loves walks and runs, and is well-behaved in her foster home. Miracle was born mid-Oct 2008. Miracle needs an active family that can provide her with a loving home with lots of exercise. She does not like cats, and gets along with most other dogs. Miracle is currently in foster care. Please send and email to pets@petswithoutparents.net if you'd like to meet this gal. Adoption fee $160 (includes spay).

Our Featured Cats (To see all of our available cats, click here.) NIGERIA and EGYPT Nigeria came into the shelter with her pal, Egypt (below). Nigeria has a very unique look. Her face is calico and her body is tortishell. She is very scared being at the shelter, so we hope she finds a home soon. Egypt is very loving tabby and will befriend you in a NY minute! She is approximately 1-2 years old. Both of these sweethearts are about 1-2 years old, spayed, up to date with shots, and declawed. Adoption fee is only $50 each.

 

Why Adopt? The answer is simple: when you adopt, you save a life. According the the Humane Society of the United States, 6-8 million pets enter shelters annually, but only 3-4 million get adopted. We have a crisis on our hands - too many homeless pets. Another reason to adopt: shelter pets come with a veterinary package not offered by most breeders and pet stores (specifically, pets are already altered). Finally, when you buy from a pet store, you are supporting puppy mills, the deplorable, disgusting dog-breeding factories. Be a part of the solution: ADOPT A SHELTER PET!
