1)             To shelter and provide the cats and dogs who have come under our stewardship with a quality life via cageless, spacious quarters, good food, veterinary care, love and gentle handling regardless of their age, health condition and adoptability.

2)             To carefully seek new, loving homes for all cats and dogs in our custody and to provide quality lifetime care for those who are not adopted.

3)             To offer support to individuals who have rescued homeless cats and dogs through such means as mentoring, loan of equipment, financial support for spay/neuter (when available) and education about other available resources.

4)             To educate pet owners toward a more loving and permanent relationship with their pets. To counsel pet owners who seek to give up their pets in an attempt to help them resolve the problem that causes them to feel the need to part with a beloved family member. And if this is not possible, to respectfully offer advice and resource information to aid them in placing their cats or dogs in new, loving, permanent homes.
