At Just Animals, we're almost home...

Just Animals Shelter is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization, no-kill animal shelter. We receive no tax-payer dollars or government funding. All funding has been donated by caring community members or raised ourselves. All donations to Just Animals Shelter are tax-deductible.
We started in 1997 and have since saved thousands of animals. Just to give you an idea of how many animals we have rescued over the past few years:
2015 we rescued 424 cats and 83 dogs.
2016 we rescued 434 Cats and 70 dogs.
2017 we rescued 395 cats and 81 dogs.
2018 we rescued 532 cats and 127 dogs.
2019 we rescued 489 cats and 147 dogs.
That’s a total of 2,274 cats and 508 dogs in just 5 years!
In 2009, the shelter started its Pet Wellness Clinic Program, further benefiting members of the community and their furry friends.
There are many ways you can support our shelter;
Use our clinics to vaccinate and spay or neuter your current pets,
ADOPT! All adoption fees go towards rescuing and caring for the animals,
and of course, you can always make a cash or in kind donation to our shelter.
Just Animals will only keep growing, improving, rescuing and finding forever homes for more animals with the loving support of community members like you!
Our Animal Angels

Thank you for your donations and friendship. We couldn't have saved so many without you! In the rescue world, we are constantly hearing the phrase "I hate people." We would like to concentrate on the positive side and share with you some of the very special people we have encountered and the differences they have made. They are truly the angels among us.
