What We Stand For
Our seven core values are woven into the fabric of everything that we do. We strive to conduct ourselves in a manner that upholds these seven core values in our everyday interactions with each other, the pets in our care and our community.
Build Community.
We are part of the community. We partner to find solutions that support diverse needs, save lives and keep people and pets together.
Be Compassionate.
We meet every person, animal and situation with kindness and respect. We assume good intent.
Be Exceptional Stewards.
We are committed to careful and effective use of the resources entrusted to us to have the greatest positive impact in our community.
Take Responsibility.
Our duty to the animals in our care requires personal responsibility. We own outcomes. We commit to doing whatever it takes.
Be Courageous.
We don’t give up. We find a way. We are not afraid to challenge ourselves. We are the driving force behind the change needed to save more lives.
Respect, Embrace and Celebrate Diversity.
We respect each other and our community and embrace our varying viewpoints, experiences, identities and cultures. We create a safe environment where we can share openly and celebrate together.
Save Lives.
Every life has worth and every animal is an individual. We owe the animals in our care their lives. If they can be saved, they will be saved.
