Testimonials
By far, one of the cleanest, most professional rescues we’ve visited. Kudos to them for doing it right!
My daughter's Girl Scout group made blankets for the animals and they allowed the girls to come in and meet some of the rescues. They all had a great tine and the staff was very friendly.
