We’re not just a shelter—we’re a lifeline. Founded in 1896 in Auburn, New York, we began with a single horse-drawn wagon and a vision of a more humane world. We do everything we can to show up with care, patience, and practical help. We serve Cayuga County and the surrounding areas. People come to us looking for hope—for second chances, for guidance, and that’s exactly what we offer.
Our Mission
Alleviate suffering, improve conditions, & prevent cruelty to animals.
Our Vision
Create a positive world for animals and humans through the power of kindness, compassion, and honesty
What We Do
We’re more than a shelter. Our mission is to keep animals safe, healthy, and loved—whether that means finding them a new home or helping families avoid giving them up in the first place. Whether you’re looking to adopt a pet, find low-cost spay & neuter services, or need help keeping your pet at home, we’re here to help. Located in Auburn, NY, we serve pet owners across Cayuga County with services focused on the wellbeing of animals and their people.
