Because one act of kindness will change a life
In pursuit of Animal Happiness
Our mission is to promote the health and welfare of all animals.
We Believe
Animals are sentient beings with feelings, consciousness, and integrity, and should be treated with respect, kindness, and compassion.
What We Do
We rescue animals that have been injured are suffering from disease, are abandoned or just old.We nurse them back to health and reintegrate them back in their community, or we provide them with a welcoming home if they have no place to live.

Skippy
Skippy is a survivor! After a car accident who crushed both his front legs when he was a pup, he learned to walk and stand on his back legs, move around and play with others. He is completely independent, goes up and down stairs and jumps in and out of his sleeping crate. He had a tough start in life but he was lucky to be rescued early on, cared for and then brought to a place where he got access to rehabilitation and training so he can have a full life, regardless of his handicap.
