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
Manzo is a new arrival who came to us from another shelter. We saw a post needing help from another shelter for a 6 month old husky puppy. We were a little surprised when we got an almost 1 year old husky/shepherd mix. But we are so glad we helped him. He is shy, gentle, and sweet. He loves to go on walks and play in water. Manzo would probably do best as an only dog.
Thank you Catalyst for donating litter to our Cat Adoption Center!
