Our programs

✂️ Low-cost spay & neuter

Spaying and neutering is the single best way to tackle pet overpopulation at its root. We offer a reduced-cost spay/neuter program for Logan County residents on government assistance, in partnership with TimberCrest Veterinary Hospital in Lincoln.

If you have a pet that needs to be spayed or neutered and cost is a barrier, please call us at 217-737-4042, we'll help you figure it out.

Using our clinic? Download the Spay/Neuter Consent form (PDF) ↗ — print and bring it with you ($50 non-refundable deposit due when completed).

🥫 Pet Food Pantry

Hard times shouldn't mean giving up a beloved pet. Our Pet Food Pantry helps Logan County families keep their cats and dogs fed and at home when money is tight.

Open Wednesdays 10am–2pm and Saturdays 9am–12pm (proof of low income required). Donations of pet food are always welcome and keep the shelves stocked.

💉 Veterinary assistance

Many animals arrive needing medical attention, from vaccinations to surgery and recovery. With the community's support, we provide the care they need to get healthy and ready for a new home.

🐾 Date with a Dog

Want to make a shelter dog's day? Date with a Dog lets approved volunteers take an adoptable dog off shelter grounds for a few hours of fun, exercise, and one-on-one attention — a walk, a pup cup, a car ride, or just hanging out. Photos from your date help that dog find a forever home.

Fill out a foster application first. Once staff approve you, they'll match you with a dog, ask where you're headed and about how long you'll be gone, and send you out with an air tag and contact tag on the collar. Bring your date back to the shelter when you're done and tell us how it went.
