Our Facility

Providing a safe haven for animals in need, our facility brings to life a vision of hope shared by Mark and Linda Greenberg. This 36,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility leaves no stone unturned, and includes:

  • 3,000 square feet of training space for rehabilitating and training dogs, and a home simulation room to expose them to the home environment.
  • 129 spacious dog kennels with outdoor runs
  • 8 isolation kennels
  • 4 large outdoor exercise pens
  • Housing for 50 cats
  • Full boarding and grooming facilities

Dog Kennels

There are 129 overly sized kennels and outdoor runs including twelve isolation kennels. Isolation kennels do not allow nose to nose contact with other dogs and separate these animals from the rest of the kennel in order to prevent illness or infection from spreading.

Cat Living Quarters

The cat area includes several rooms for cat housing, isolation rooms, cat grooming and bathing.  All cat rooms are free roaming for the cats that get along well with other cats. In addition, each cat receives a comfy bed and a double-sided condo so they can snuggle up and get away from it all if they so desire.

 

Training Facility 3,000 sq. ft.

This large open area is a space for rehabilitating and training dogs. There is a home simulation room within this space allowing the dogs to be exposed to furniture and the home environment.

Dog Grooming

Our groomer Debbie (who is also our Senior Vet Tech) spends hours making sure that our dogs and cats are the cleanest shelter animals in the industry. Our grooming facility is open to the public for both feline and canine grooming.
