Our mission is to place every pet that enters our shelter into a loving, permanent home; and to motivate our local community to support our shelter, its no-kill mission, and spay-neuter efforts through donation, volunteer, and adoption opportunities...until every pet goes home.

The shelter is in urgent need of CAT LITTER, BLEACH and 75 WATT LIGHT BULBS. Thank you!

*Click Here for the Top Five Reasons to Adopt a Shelter Pet*

Our Featured Dog (To see all of our available dogs, click here.) DESMOND Desmond is a 4 year old autralian shepherd/border collie mix that is just as sweet as can be. He gets along with other dogs, cats, kids - everyone!! Desmond is currently in foster care. Please email pets@petswithoutparents.net if you'd like to meet him. Adoption fee $160 (includes neuter).

Our Featured Cat (To see all of our available cats, click here.) CEE CEE Cee Cee and siblings were born to a stray mama. A good samaritan came to the rescue and provided them shelter and TLC. Cee Cee was born mid/late Feb 2010, and she's darn cute. Adoption fee is only $100 (includes spay).

 

Why Adopt? The answer is simple: when you adopt, you save a life. According the the Humane Society of the United States, 6-8 million pets enter shelters annually, but only 3-4 million get adopted. We have a crisis on our hands - too many homeless pets. Another reason to adopt: shelter pets come with a veterinary package not offered by most breeders and pet stores (specifically, pets are already altered). Finally, when you buy from a pet store, you are supporting puppy mills, the deplorable, disgusting dog-breeding factories. Be a part of the solution: ADOPT A SHELTER PET!
