Saturday Adoptions1 Facebook

In addition to being open on the first Saturday of each month like we have been doing for quite some time, we are now adding an additional Saturday adoption day which will be the 3rd Saturday of each month from 9 am - 12 pm.
 
With our animal intake increasing during the warmer months, we hope this additional Saturday helps the animals in our adoption program find homes even quicker!
