MAPQUEST & GPS WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE ACCURATE DIRECTIONS TO GET TO US SO PLEASE VIEW THE DIRECTIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

Animal House Shelter tries to keep the environment for the animals in our care, as healthy, stress free and comfortable as possible during their stay with us. Therefore, Walk-Through viewing of the dogs is NOT allowed at the shelter, due to the stress it creates. 

    

During your visit to the shelter, an adoption counselor will assist you through the adoption process and introduce you to as many dogs as you would like to meet, in order to make the best possible match for you, your family and your new pet.

The cats are housed in a large 'free roam' cat room. They are able to socialize all day with each other, staff, volunteers and potential adopters.

      

Like people, animals have distinct personalities that make them unique.  At Animal House we are proud to say that these animals are treated like our own. We care enough to be certain they go to the right loving, forever home.
