“Visitors from all over the world in my shelter today! The dogs are so happy to be with people!”
Day Visits
OPEN 11:00 AM — 1:00 PM
Monday - Saturday
CLOSED Sunday
Please note: for safety reasons, the maximum number of visitors per day is ten (10) people.
If you wish to visit you will need to book your visit in advance via our scheduling calendar so we can arrange to come pick you up from the town and lead you to the shelter. For the safety and well-being of the animals in our care, we do not allow unscheduled visits. Walk-ins will be turned away and instructed to book an appointment before returning to the shelter.
The gates open at 11AM and close again at 1PM.
We welcome visitors who wish to bring donations, visit the dogs and cats, and look for a new family member. Because of the dogs’ needs, it is not possible to accommodate a different schedule on a daily basis. Thank you for your understanding.
For your comfort, please bring sunglasses, wind protection, sunscreen, and plenty of water or beverages. Sturdy shoes are strongly recommended.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have booked a visit for more than one person and you need to cancel, please be sure to cancel EACH of the appointment links in your confirmation email (one for each person). Thank you!
If you are planning to adopt, you need to schedule an appointment with our Adoption Coordinator. Please go to the Adoption page. Do NOT book a Day Visit — these are for visitors only.
Pets and children under 10 years old are NOT allowed for safety reasons.
Due to the current heat, please remember to bring your own food and drinks, as there is no water or food available at the shelter.
