When abandoned and abused animals are in need of a place to call home, The Animal Lovers League is there to help. With heated floors in the doggy den, spacious condos for felines, outdoor play areas and an air exchange system to ensure a healthy environment, animals can comfortably wait for placement in an adoptive home or for the return of their owner. Volunteers and trainers are on hand to help "rowdy rascals" become adoptable "super pets" through positive reinforcement and clicker training. Every single animal that comes into the shelter is vet checked, de-wormed, vaccinated and of course spayed or neutered before adoption. Recording between 33 and 100 adoptions per month, we are consistently working to place our animals in as many loving homes as possible.
