I had to surrender my puppy and my cat due to me being homeless and they took them off my hands so they can find a better home and a great life. They are very nice and friendly people who understand deeply. I couldn't have picked a better spot to surrender the 2 loves of my lives so they can have an amazing chance to feel the love they need and the freedom they deserve.
