Below are the key points about what we collect and why. If you have questions, please contact us.

What information we collect

Information you provide (such as your name, email address, phone number, and message) when you contact us, apply to adopt, volunteer, foster, or donate. If you submit forms, we may also receive details you include about your household, experience with animals, and availability.

How we use your information

To respond to your requests, process adoption/foster/volunteer applications, coordinate rescue and care, provide receipts or confirmations where applicable, and improve our website and communications.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to help the site function and to understand how visitors use our pages. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website or communications, or with veterinary/transport partners when necessary to support an adoption or rescue—only when relevant and appropriate.

How long we keep data

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, to meet legal or accounting obligations, and to maintain appropriate records for rescue operations.

Your rights and choices

Security

How we protect your data

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to reduce risk and limit access to those who need it.
