Description

Animal House is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), No-Kill shelter for all breeds of dogs and cats.

Dash for the Dogs 5K Run/Walk is our 11th annual charity run to raise funds for the over 3,000 homeless dogs and cats that we rescue every year.


We have been open since June 2002 and have rescued, rehabilitated and placed over 68,000 dogs and cats, to date, into their loving forever homes!

Animal House Shelter, Inc  rescues abused and neglected dogs and cats  and rehabilitates them mentally & physically in order to place them with the best new family.  We rescue 98% of our dogs from high ‘kill’ shelters, pounds and  various animal control facilities in which they are usually listed as strays, and almost always scheduled to be euthanized. 

The best possible veterinary care is always given to those at Animal House Shelter. We never decline treatment, whatever it may entail, if it means that the animal has a chance at a new and healthy life.

We strive to go above and beyond when caring for and socializing our animals.  We understand the importance of getting to know each and every animal available for adoption in an effort to place them in the most perfect home possible.  All dogs are walked 4-5 times a day and socialized with each other and volunteers.  The cats are housed in a large ‘free roam’ cat room so they can socialize all day with each other, staff, volunteers and potential adopters.

Like people, animals have distinct personalities that make them unique. At Animal House Shelter, we are proud to say that the dogs and cats are treated like our own. We care enough to be certain they are treated with the comfort and respect that they deserve and we make every effort to ensure that they go to the right, forever, permanent, loving home.


All dogs and cats are given all vaccinations- including their Rabies vaccine- They are neutered,  microchipped,  dewormed and heartworm tested (Dogs)  or FeLV/FIV tested (Cats). Dogs are kept on heartworm preventative & all animals receive Frontline Plus monthly by Animal House. Included with the adoption of your new pet is pet insurance through www.ShelterCare.com and the first free vet exam (through AHS participating veterinarians).

We are open for adoptions daily from 11 am to 7 pm!
