Our goal is to send you home with a healthy pet and any information and support you may need to help your new pet adjust to his or her new home. Our vets provide a full array of preventive care for our shelter animals when they first arrive and continue caring for them while they are living at our shelter. We treat sick or injured pets who come into our care, often using funds provided through donations to Gabriel's Fund. Gabriel's Fund donations allow us to provide tests, heartworm treatments, x-rays, surgeries, and more for those pets in need-- things we normally could not afford.

Our staff is also here to provide helpful information and answer any questions about caring for your new pet, before and after you take your pet home. We send each pet home with information to help you with pet care, training, and addressing common behavioral issues.
