More than 100 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens of all different shapes, sizes, ages and breeds will be onsite and available for adoption. All of the pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots and temperament tested.

The only thing these dogs and cats need is a new home to love and protect them for a lifetime. The dogs and cats have a money back guarantee and are always welcome back at the shelter or rescue for any reason if they are not a right fit for the adoptive individual or family.

Experienced shelter staff, volunteers and trainers will be on hand to help you find the right animal. Local businesses and national pet vendors will also be on hand with giveaways.
