We are thrilled to announce that we will be teaming up with Kris Rotonda of Jordan’s Way for an innovative online fundraiser at our shelter!

The Jordan's Way team will be here on Monday, May 20th from 10:00am - 1:00pm for a 3-Hour Live Facebook fundraiser as part of their National Tour! The live event will feature silly activities and tasks completed by our staff, volunteers, and prominent community members. You can view our associated Facebook Fundraiser here - Please INVITE, TAG and SHARE this to everyone you know to help us reach our goal!

Our goal for this event is ambitious: we aim to raise $60,000 to purchase an adoption trailer that will enhance our off-site adoption events throughout the year. Achieving this goal will require the collective effort of our supportive community!

Every donation makes a difference - even pocket change!

Come Together and celebrate as we honor a longtime supporter and beloved friend, Mary Ann Salch Murphy, who epitomizes the very definition of an animal advocate. Mary Ann has donated an enduring amount of her time to the animals through her volunteer work at events, chairing fundraisers, vocally promoting our mission, and financially backing our many causes, such as adoption programs, spay/neuter assistance, education, medical needs, and much more. She is an outstanding and reputable member of the community and is known for her kindness and concern for what’s best for the island and all of its citizens.
