We take in animals from shelters or from bad situations. Often the shelters are full, and doing this gives them more time to find homes for animals that would otherwise be euthanized. Sometimes we pull specific animals whose time was up. All animals are taken into our homes, where they learn house manners. We work with the dogs on house training, and with the cats and dogs on becoming well-socialized and well-mannered household members. All animals are spayed or neutered and have had all their shots. Dogs over six months old are tested for heartworm, and cats for feline leukemia and FIV. In addition, dogs are on heartworm preventative.
