Our goal is to have all of our adopted
pets go to their new homes as healthy as possible. 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.
Sick or injured pets are treated to the best of our abilities, often
using funds provided through donations to Gabriel's
Fund. Gabriel's Fund donations
allow us to provide tests, heartworm treatments, xrays, 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 caring for, training, and addressing common
behavioral issues. You'll also receive a DVD-- Pets
Incredible Completely Cats or Complete
Dog Training-- which are both excellent tools to help
you with your new pet.

The Gentle Leader® Headcollar
and the Easy Walk™ Harness: For our medium and large
size adult dogs who haven't quite mastered "heel" yet and
tend to pull on their leash, we are also offering two excellent training
products made by Premier Pet Products. While our supply lasts we
can fit and send your new dog home with either The Gentle Leader® Headcollar
or the Easy Walk™ Harness at no extra cost. Some of our dogs
are already using these products at satellites or at the shelter
when going for walks.
The Gentle Leader® Headcollar quickly controls
jumping, pulling, barking, chewing and begging.
The Easy Walk™ Harness is designed to gently
discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash.
