Saving one animal may not change the world. But surely, for that one animal, the world will change forever.

Our mission is to promote the welfare of animals by caring for homeless animals and placing them in permanent homes, assisting the community with spay/neuter costs, preventing neglect of and cruelty to animals by educating the public about their humane treatment, and promoting humane behavior.
