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
Baby is a male morkie around 8 years old. He was surrendered to us because he had horrible ear infections and his owner couldn’t afford to take care of him. Baby has a few follow up appointments at our vet and will be available soon. He is the sweetest boy who is just begging to be out of his kennel. Baby would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Meet Baby Saturday from 10-2 pm.
Thank you Catalyst for donating litter to our Cat Adoption Center!
