| ABOUT US |
We are a volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization serving all of southern Illinois.
We provide shelter and veterinary care to lost, unwanted and abandoned animals until they can be
placed in a kind and loving home where they will be cared for in a safe and humane environment
for the rest of their natural lives. We also seek to improve the community as a whole by educating
the public about the importance of spaying and neutering in order to prevent undesired breeding
and minimize the need for euthanasia, and by promoting the adoption of animals as pets from
pounds, shelters and animal rescue groups rather than supporting inhumane puppy and kitten
mills, which contribute to the problem of overpopulation of domestic animals.
