Reduce Animal Suffering
To find homes for every adoptable animal we take in. Whenever possible, help other organizations or rescuers with their adoption programs by providing foster care and posting available animals on our website

Bilingual Website
Create a bilingual website, so people, rescuers and organizations can use our translated information in a more effective way for education on and distribution.
Our materials are not translated word for word because some words that make sense in one language might not make sense in another. We always preserve the essence of the feeling and meaning of our material so we can help to reach out to communities more effectively

We hope by reading our educational material, people can have a better understanding of how humans and animals are all part of this world, when animals become extinct, human extinction won’t be too far along. We hope our material can open people’s heart and learn how to respect all animals and nature that we share on this earth. They too can become an important part of our expansion and teach their families and friends what they learn.

Foster Homes

Our adoption program cannot be successful without the help of many good foster homes. Here are some of our dedicated foster parents who tirelessly assisted us with many of our abandoned animals while we locate loving homes for them.

Volunteers

Our youth volunteers come to visit our home-- like shelter from time to time. Some of them have been coming regularly for many years. They help us with adoption fairs, play with our animals and recruit others to come visit. Some of them come once a while and we appreciate their efforts. We are glad that experiences they have with us make a positive influence on their lives.
