We are their shelter. You are their future.
Ways to GiveWe are a No-Kill Shelter
The Valley Animal Center is dedicated to controlling the pet population through education and spaying/neutering, not euthanasia. We believe animals, as living creatures, deserve to be protected, respected, and given every consideration morally and ethically. Our mission is to assist with and provide for the health and welfare of the animals that have been abused, mistreated, abandoned, and injured; to promote the bond between animals and people; and to instill an appreciation and respect for all living creatures with whom we share this earth.

Furry Best Friend!
Valley Animal Center’s Dog and Cat Adoption Centers house approximately 400 animals combined. Our adoptables are rescued from local animal shelter agencies before they are euthanized to have the second chance they deserve or when we have space, they are taken in from owner surrenders. Being a no-kill shelter, we do not euthanize any of our animals for space.

Dog Park
The Dr. James W. Thornton Dog Park is a membership-based 1.5 acre park that is a part of Valley Animal Center dedicated to dogs! The park allows a dog to be a dog where they will play, exercise in several spacious runs, socialize with each other, swim in our 2,000 gallon canine wading pool, and have a blast!
