About Us - Five Acres Animal Shelter

Hi! We're Five Acres Animal Shelter.

We’re proud to say 98% of the cats and dogs that come into our care find their forever families.

Our mission is to end pet homelessness, promote responsible pet ownership, and advocate for animal welfare.

We believe in providing a safety net for both pets and people in our community.

Community: We exist to serve our community. This includes not only reducing the number of pets in need by finding them homes, but also supporting the pet owners in our community.
Lasting Relationships: Whether you adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, attend an event, or spread the word about our mission, you are a part of the Five Acres Family! We love creating relationships with our community, and we especially love to witness the new and strengthening bonds between humans and their pets.
Safe & Thriving Environments for our Animals: The safety and well-being of our animals is of the highest importance to our organization. We want the spaces in which our animals live to not just be safe and clean, but enriching and relaxing as well. Providing this for our animals is the top priority of our team.
Enriching the Lives of Pets & People: We believe that pets are better off with people, and people are better off with pets! Everything we do is to improve and foster the connection between humans and animals, but it doesn’t end with just adoption. It includes a robust foster program, impactful volunteer opportunities, community events, affordable veterinary care and so much more.

Whether you’re looking to adopt, volunteer, foster or support our work – we’d love to have you as part of the Five Acres family!
