We were founded in 1972 by Gertrude Maxwell exclusively for the humane care and treatment of animals and states our purposes as follows:

A. Subscribe to and maintain the principle that spaying & neutering of companion animals is the only effective and humane way to end pet over-population.

B. Subscribe to and maintain the principle that animal euthanasia shall not be performed simply

because there are too many animals. "No-kill means that animals are not destroyed except in cases of terminal and painful illness, when compassion demands euthanasia because there is

no reasonable alternative."

​

C. Find suitable homes for animals sheltered by S-A-P and its foster homes.

​

D. Provide funds for emergency veterinary care for financially challenged individuals.

​

E. Conduct programs designed to promote the kind treatment of animals and the prevention of cruelty to animals.

Potential adopter completes an app. & meets with an adoption coordinator. Once approved, adopter signs & agrees to terms on health certificate & receives animal's health records. Adoption fee is based on age & type of animal.
