Frequently Asked Questions
1.) How many animals live at The Sanctuary?
We have between 15-20 dogs onsite with several more in foster care. We also have between 65-75 cats, many of whom roam freely about in our dedicated cat building.
2.) Where do your animals come from?
The Sanctuary rescues local animals in the Lehigh Valley and we also partner with both regional and out of state shelters who are over-crowded and at risk of euthanizing their animals. We are a community resource and can offer assistance for surrendered pets under special circumstances such as military deployment.
3.) What is a "no-kill" shelter?
We adhere to a No-Kill animal welfare approach which means no animal is ever killed to make room for new arrivals. In very rare cases, if animals are suffering and are too sick to heal or too vicious to be rehabilitated, they are humanely euthanized. Both of these situations are extremely rare occurrences.
4.) How do I report neglect?
The PSPCA Humane Law Enforcement program serves Lehigh County. You can find more information below to report cruelty cases:

Adoption Spotlight
Meet Dublin! She came from us from an unfortunate situation where she was crated for 20 hours per day. This energizer bunny did not do well in that environment! She has never ending lab energy! We are looking for a home where she will not be crated and has a fully fenced yard to get out her zoomies. Dublin would also love another dog to help wear her out! She has become the best play group dog at our shelter and made so many furry friends!
Thank you Catalyst for donating litter to our Cat Adoption Center!
