If you are bringing an animal to the shelter, please drive around the east end of our building to the door marked "Receiving."

• If it is during business hours, enter the Receiving Lobby and a staff member will help you.

• If it is after business hours, please leave the pet in one of the marked After-Hours Receiving Kennels.  Remember to complete an Animal Release form, so we know why the animal is being left, and can contact you if we need more information.  Please consider leaving a donation to help pay for the care of the animal.
