Our Goal: $7 Million

This ambitious campaign will provide the resources needed to construct a state-of-the-art shelter designed to save more lives, promote humane treatment, and deliver proactive programs that educate and support the public. Achieving this dream requires the help of our community—you!

We’re in the main building phase of this campaign, aiming to raise $7 million to make this long-time dream a reality. As leaders in animal welfare, we understand the needs of shelter animals and recognize that our current facility is not equipped to carry our mission into the future.

This new facility will feature modern dog and cat housing to reduce stress, minimize disease transmission, and provide essential services for our growing community. With your support, we can continue to lead by example in saving lives, promoting the humane treatment of animals, and fostering a stronger human-animal bond.

Join us in Building for the Paws—together, we can create a brighter future for the animals we love. Let’s make this vision a reality!
