Pet Savers, Inc. is a non-profit organization who provides a safe, no-kill alternative to Animal Control. Their mission is to rescue, protect, and place abandoned or unwanted pets and provide funds for neutering, spaying, and other veterinary care. The space is limited, however, and if pets are not being adopted fast enough they won't have enough room to take on more. So adopot today and help make a difference!
