We Need Our Mission To Be Heard

We're Driven By These Facts
There are approximately 40,000 unaltered cats & dogs in Marion County

An unaltered female dog can produce an average of 16 puppies a year. An unaltered female cat can produce an average of 15 kittens per year.

 

Marion County has limited resources for low-income pet owners

Pet owners often are forced to rehome their pets when they cannot afford to care for them. Lack of financially feasible veterinary care is one of the top three reasons for pet surrenders.

Deserving Delilah

December 22, 2020
It’s hard to imagine a dog more deserving of a great home than our sweet Delilah. That’s been her name for the past year, but before that, she was known to our staff and volunteers as Violet. It was under that name that she held the title as one of our longest residents at VOCAL- about 2 years she had spent waiting for an adopter. Unfortunately, that adoption fell through recently after her adopter suffered some life-altering and unexpected health... Keep Reading
