So much is being affected by the coronavirus outbreak; restaurants, bars, schools, stores, daycare and even shelter pets. We were notified that the VHS facility will be closed to all public walk-in traffic through March 30th. They will be accepting adoption applications online, and making appointments for potential adopters to visit with animals. At this time you may contact the VHS BY EMAIL ONLY at adoptions@vhslifesaver.org id you wish to  inquire about adopting a pet.

According to the VHS press release the following additional programs they offer have been either modified or suspended indefinitely -
