Why should you adopt from Lifelong Friends?

  • We know each pet individually and personally, so we can help match you with a pet that will be a lifelong companion.
  • We provide support for people before and after they adopt a pet.
  • Our shelter rescues stray and abandoned animals that have been picked up by animal control. Consequently, by adopting from us, you are helping to save lives.
We are in need of Silent Auction donations for our MusicFest, which will be held in April 2008. Please contact us at info@lifelongfriends.org if you would like to donate an item for our auction. Thank you for your support!
