Target Dog Capacity

If we don’t reach our capacity goal by the end of day on Tuesday each week, we will have to make heartbreaking decisions to create a space/capacity euthanasia list. Please help us reach our goal each Tuesday by choosing to adopt or foster any pet in our care. We have a limited number of kennels, and space only opens when an animal leaves the shelter. Help us save lives today.

Dogs Most At Risk

See additional photos and learn more about each dog through our ADOPT page! All adoptable pets can be searched using their name or unique animal ID.
