We do not define ourselves as "no kill." We are an open admission shelter, meaning that we accept all animals in need, regardless of health, age, or temperament. We have a robust veterinary department capable of treating many conditions and performing all types of surgeries. We make euthanasia decisions based on health and temperament on a case-by-case basis. The current definition of "no kill" within the sheltering industry is euthanasia of 10% or less of animal intakes. Some years we fall within that definition, but because we don't limit our intakes and in any given year may take-in a higher number of animals with untreatable health or behavior issues, some years we do not.

They really try helping and getting forever homes for the Fur Babies and nonFur Babies. But sometimes they get animals in that are too sick that can not be helped . Sometimes it's better to Give Your Fur Baby to them when you can't afford euthanization . It's still very hard with knowing what they are going to do. But they still do their own vet service to make sure there is no hope and it's best to euthanize them to end their suffering .
