Our mission is to improve the lives of animals, alleviate their suffering, and elevate their status in society. We safeguard, rescue, shelter, heal, adopt and advocate for animals in need, while inspiring community action and compassion on their behalf.

Impact Summary from the Nonprofit We provide an array of programs and services, including: animal sheltering and pet adoptions; the Emergency Animal Medical Technician (EAMT� ) animal-rescue and cruelty investigation program; low-cost spay/neuter and wellness services; mobile spay/neuter services; the Dusty Boots equine therapy program; the Second Chance Animal Hospital� for sick, abused and injured animals; and various alternative placement programs including Project Safehouse and Project Active Duty to aid the pets of domestic violence victims and activated members in the U.S. Military.
