A Day in the Life: Behind the Scenes at Our Shelter

Ever wonder what happens at an animal shelter when the doors are closed to the public? It’s a whirlwind of activity, compassion, and tireless work behind the scenes. Our day begins early, with staff and volunteers feeding, cleaning, and checking on every animal in our care. Dogs are taken out for morning walks; cats are given fresh litter and playtime. Medical staff perform health checks, administer medications, and prepare for surgeries or treatments. Throughout the day, potential adopters visit, animals arrive through rescues, and fosters drop off updates. Behind every bark or purr is a team of people dedicated to giving animals the best possible chance at a new life. Running a shelter isn’t easy, but it’s a labor of love. Every adoption, every tail wag, every success story reminds us why we do this work. Come visit us, volunteer, or donate—and be part of the journey.
