Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
— Margaret Mead

Special funds needed for:

Spay/Neuter Fund - This special fund allows us to spay or neuter (and vaccinate if needed) the pets of our most vulnerable neighbors in Mitchell County. This service is available to qualified Mitchell County residents only when funds are available.

Have Mercy Fund - This fund allows us to provide crucial medical care for shelter animals with special needs or to public animals under very special circumstances.
