Mission: We reduce the animal population and reduce the risk of disease on the reservation by removing abused, neglected and unwanted animals from the reservation. We get them to the safety of our foster homes, then transport them to rescue groups outside of the reservation for rehoming. We also provide free spay/neuter clinics for animals remaining on the reservation.

Results: We began in Nov 2010.As of Sept 2022, We have removed 4575 animals and spayed/neutered over 2550.We've helped primarily dogs and cats, but also horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, a ferret, a hamster and a donkey.
