Shelter Animal Shelter Information...

dogwag.gif (3838 bytes) At Animal Shelter, Inc. we offer a refuge for unclaimed animals and animals given up by their owners.  Each animal is evaluated before adoption in order to determine what needs it will require for a successful adoption.  Prospective pet owners are interviewed to assure that the lifestyles and needs of the people and the animal are compatible.
