I adopted a cat from there recently. it was hard to just pick one, the cats are all so beautiful…read moreand good natured. The people there truly treat the cats as their own. They are obviously well loved and cared for. They also take the hard luck cases that other shelters won't. They work hard with the feral cats to get them socialized and ready to go to a good home. The new regulations the state has come up with are going to be financially challenging to any shelter, and especially so for the smaller ones. Any donations to them would help, they are not as well known as the bigger shelters and get overlooked at funding time. Volunteers are always needed, and it's a great way to interact with and socialize with the cats.

This shelter is the real deal, as is the people who work there. The people are always working hard…read moreto keep the place clean, and love the cats dearly and are very passionate about them. The shelter is run down because they dont have the funds for a face lift, but the cats are loved and well taken care of. Please come adopt from this shelter and if you can not, then donate food, toys, etc or make a cash donation. they desperately need all donations and adoptions, as well as volunteers to come in and give the kitties love and hugs. The shelter is crowded but run well and kitties are clean, and seem happy. they would be happier in a "forever home". thank you!

I purchased a home last year and told my husband that when we acquire a home, I want to get a dog…read more We already have 2 orange & white tabby rescue kitties and wanted to add to our family. I contacted Helping hounds dog rescue and filled out an application. Their process is rather simple- fill out the application, provide your veterinarian contact number, and have one reference who knows you call them. Once they approve you, you are free to go and visit all the dogs (protection of the animals i'm assuming and it's a great thing!). The whole process literally took a week. I was able to go to the rescue, tell them which dog(s) i was interested in and they let you walk them and hang out with them before you decide. They even let me "trial" a dog home because I have cats. I feel right in love with my dog who was "Cheers" at the shelter but we renamed her "Ginger". The fee paid (i believe i paid $600) covered all of her vaccinations, neuter, vet visits etc. All of these fees go back into the shelter. I had a phenomenal experience and was matched up perfectly with my dog. I love, love love her and i would highly recommend this rescue if you're looking to give a dog their forever home. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind , and reassuring. They take excellent care of both the dogs and the adopters wanting information. I would highly recommend Helping Hounds Dog rescue!!

The event was already fully booked, but I easily found tickets available for the next scheduled tour at 10 AM. We were fortunate enough to have Kate as our tour guide. She is awesome!

Kate told us about the plans for the future and expansion etc. We will also look forward to coming back again.
