As an animal rescue and community service organization, The Un-Shelter goes beyond traditional sheltering. It is a positive support center for pets and their people, for un-homed animals, and the humans that care for them. Our mission includes: •\tCaring for a small group of homeless animals on-site in addition to foster homes; •\tProviding access to services (behavior, food, medical care) to humans to keep animals in-home; •\tCreating a community of people connected to shelters/rescues for ongoing education, debriefing, assistance, and decompression; and, •\tEncouraging strong bonds between humans and pets by offering an array of educational resources – classes, workshops, play groups.
