Our Statistics

Several hundred cats, dogs, and small animals come through our shelter's doors each year. We are committed to saving all healthy and treatable animals, and we never euthanize animals due to lack of space. Check out our intake and outcome stats for more information!


 *Animals Euthanized -  After a conversation between pet owners and shelter management, euthanasia is an option for sick, injured, non-treatable, or unsafe animals. We do NOT euthanize animals for any other reason.

**Died in Care - This number includes non-viable births, surgical complications, and natural non-treatable deaths.
