Cheryl Hill is the shelter owner. She receives an honorarium and there are many volunteers. We also have groups of scouts, college students, and youth groups that donate time. The shelter is always in need of regular, dependable volunteers. If you would like to help out, please see the forms & information page about volunteering.

There are six buildings on the property. Each building has electricity, heat/air conditioning, and a direct water supply. To ensure comfort for the dogs, the buildings are also equipped with indoor and outdoor lighting, radios, bedding and blankets.

The length of each dog’s stay varies immensely. There are some that have stayed their whole lives, others only days. Certain breeds of dogs are adopted faster than others. Puppies are usually adopted fairly quickly, while larger dogs are more difficult to place.
