About Us

Our Mission

Our goal is to inform the public about the importance of animal adoption, as well as provide resources and assistance to prospective pet adopters and current pet parents living within the Grass Valley region.

Our staff and volunteers act as the "411" of pet shelters, vets, and other resources to support animal adoption over pet purchasing. We also collect information on disreputable pet breeders in the area, and help keep consumers aware of their bad practices.

If you are interested in helping us out with our goals, and live locally, please contact us using the phone number and email at the bottom of the page! We appreciate all the help we can get.
