Hope Starts Here.
Whether an animal is injured, abandoned, neglected, or simply in need of a loving home, we're ready to help.
Since 1867, we’ve shown up when animals needed us. They still do.
Adopt Jamal
Featured Pet: Lancaster
Adopt Jamal
Meet Jamal!
This handsome Akita is a big guy with an even bigger personality! He has many of the traits typical of his breed, so previous experience with Akitas or similar breeds is preferred. Jamal is intelligent, loyal, and a little headstrong, and he'll do best with someone who understands him and respects his boundaries.
He's open to potentially living with other animals with proper introductions, and older, savvy kids. While he has an independent side, Jamal has a sweet, affectionate side that comes out with the people he trusts.

Happy Home Alert
An update on Marco who I adopted last July: he just turned 16 and is doing great! His perfect day is sleeping on a big comfy blanket and looking forward to his next meal. He's been a wonderful addition to our home ❤️
