About Us

We are a local nonprofit, no-kill shelter located in New Kensington, PA. We care for the abused, abandoned, and stray dogs and cats of Allegheny Valley. Our shelter is run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and a small staff. We strive to adopt our animals into responsible homes while educating the community on the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals.

Mission

To find safe, loving homes for abused, abandoned, and homeless animals in the Allegheny-Kiski Valley and to educate the public about responsible pet ownership.

Vision

To always be a trusted and caring no-kill animal shelter that the community looks to for animal rescue, education, and resources.
