Pandemic Update, July, 2021: New Operating Conditions

Masks welcome but not required. 

In response to the updated pandemic safety guidelines released by the Office of the Governor, masks are no longer required in our shelter building. 

Appointments are still required to visit our shelter.

We are happy to share that our appointment availability will double beginning July 2nd!

While we are working hard to return to pre-pandemic operating conditions, appointments are still required to access our adoption and intake services. We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you’d like to help, please make a donation today: I’m Ready to Help

Please note that appointments are not required to bring in or reclaim a stray pet, or to get supplies from our Pet Food pantry. Please ring the front doorbell between the hours of 11 am and 4 pm, daily.
