Our shelter provides temporary care and housing for stray and/or abandoned animals found in our city. The shelter consists of 19 dog runs; a cat room (14 cages) and a puppy room (4 cages).

Though our shelter facility is small, we were able to provide services for 891 cats and 541 dogs last year. We also cared for a number of rabbits, birds, reptiles and other small animals.

The shelter is open 7 days per week from
