About Us

"PETS WITHOUT PARENTS" ANIMAL SHELTER

"Pets Without Parents" is a non-profit organization formed in late 2004.  While we currently do not have a shelter, we are doing what we can to help stray, abandoned, lost and abused cats and kittens, dogs and puppies find their way to new homes.  It is our hope to someday have a shelter.  Our funding is strictly from donations and fund-raising so it may be years before we actually realize our shelter. 

We are currently "fostering" pets and we need many volunteers to help.  Your donations are needed to allow us to meet our ultimate goal of opening a low-kill shelter and short term taking care of animals that are in need in our county.  

Please join us and help make life better for unfortunate pets without parents!

PLEASE SUPPORT THESE AREA VETERINARIANS AS THEY PROVIDE VALUABLE SERVICES AND INFORMATION FOR OUR PETS!!

Happy Tails

Gracie the Lab

On May 7, 2006, our family adopted Gracie from your shelter, while you were at Petsmart.  I just wanted to give you an update on how she is doing.  We adopted Gracie, due to us losing Dolly, who we had for over 10 years.  Gracie has some of the qualities that Dolly had.  When Gracie wags her tail her whole butt shakes. Dolly did that.  Gracie is always happy to see you and I don't think she knows any stranger.  When we brought Gracie home, our male dog, Duke didn't know what to think of her.  Gracie got a little to close to Duke's food bowl and Duke put her in her place.  Our cats still don't know what to think about her and her outgoing attitude.  She likes to follow Duke around when they are outside in the yard.  Gracie is great with the kids and is really tolerable with them crawling all over her. The Bartolazzi family is truly blessed to have Gracie in our family.  She is going to be in a great home where everyone loves her. Thank you again for allowing her to be a part of our lives.

Miller

Miller and our family are getting along splendidly! He is a wonderful dog. Loves treats. Goes right in his pen and will sit for a treat! Rarely jumps up on people anymore. Roames free most of the day. Put in his kennel at night. I run my five miles and then leash him and go another 1 1/2. He is doing pretty well staying on my right side until he sees a bunny or a butterfly! He loves to chase bunnies and butterflies! It looks pretty funny! He seems happy! We certainly are! Love him to pieces! Come and visit him sometime! Linda has your check for Miller. We will take good care of him.
