The Society's Goals

• Prevent cruelty to animals in all its forms by providing rescue, housing, feeding and medical attention for lost, stray, injured or abandoned animals.

• Investigate complaints of cruelty brought to our attention.  If cases of cruelty are not resolved through education, then offenders are prosecuted.

• Promote respect for animals and awareness of human responsibility for their welfare through educational school presentations and general information to the public through print media and the Society's website.

• Maintain the dignity and defense of our goals through effective and meaningful interaction with communities throughout the counties we serve.
