Animal House Shelter Non-profit, 501(c)(3), No-Kill shelter for all breeds of dogs and cats. Over 75,000 pets have been adopted from Animal House Shelter. We need your help!

Animal House Shelter is a non-profit, 501(c)3, no kill animal shelter for all breeds of dogs and cats. Founded in June 2002, AHS takes in and cares for abused, neglected and abandoned animals — especially those scheduled for euthanasia at other shelters. Once rehabilitated and ready, they are carefully matched with prospective adopters and placed in loving homes. 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. The best possible veterinary care is always given to Animal House Shelter pets and treatment is never declined if it will give the animal a chance for a healthy life. Socializing and keeping our pets happy is also of utmost importance. Dogs are walked 4-5 times daily and cats are housed in a large, whimsical, free-roam habitat All are given loving care and attention by staff and volunteers. ADOPT, FOSTER, VOLUNTEER, SPONSOR, DONATE! Help us save the lives of over 3,000 dogs and cats every year that will otherwise be euthanized at high kill facilities!

🐾💜 Cheddar Bob Deserved a Second Chance. We Said YES! 💜🐾

Meet Cheddar Bob, a sweet 3-year-old cat who nearly lost his life because of the cost of veterinary care.

After going missing from his previous owners’ home for three days, Cheddar Bob returned with a shattered rear leg. Rather than pay for the treatment he desperately needed, his owners planned to have him euthanized.

Thankfully, the veterinarian reached out to Animal House Shelter for help, and we couldn’t say no!

Cheddar Bob arrived in a cast, and we hoped his leg could be saved. Unfortunately, it wasn’t healing properly, and our veterinarian feared the bones in his ankle were crushed beyond repair, leaving him at risk of lifelong pain.

Our veterinarian recommended amputation as the most humane option. On October 2nd, Cheddar Bob underwent surgery to remove his left rear leg.

Despite everything he’s endured, this sweet boy remains incredibly loving and affectionate. He may have lost a leg, but he didn’t have to lose his life. 💜

His medical bills, including exams, bandaging, bloodwork, imaging, surgery, and medications, have totaled $2,932.

As a nonprofit, no-kill shelter receiving no government funding, we rely on your generosity to make second chances like Cheddar Bob’s possible.

❤️ His life was worth saving. Will you help us cover the cost?

Every donation makes a difference!
