About Us
The SAVE shelter facility has the capacity to house upwards of 100 animals at a time (approximately 75 cats and 25 dogs). SAVE does not receive funding at the federal, state, or local level. Every dollar you contribute to SAVE makes a life-saving and life-changing difference for the homeless animals in our care.

Post Adoption Training Scholarship (PATS)
At SAVE, we understand that the current economy presents challenges, and this impacts dog adoption rates. To ease the financial burden on adopters and help our adoptable dogs find their forever homes, we are excited to introduce the Post Adoption Training Scholarship (PATS) program. This initiative funds the first five training sessions with a qualified trainer for select medium and large breed dogs, identified in their adoption bios. For more information, please call the shelter director and ask about the PATS program.
Areas Served: SAVE prioritizes adoptions within a 2 hr driving distance of the shelter.
