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

Denver

This sweet boy was surrendered to us recently because he was not getting along with the dog in the home. He was very loved in his home and is a great dog! Denver would thrive in an active lifestyle. He is super smart, eager to please, and very playful!
 
Denver has been diving head first into piles of snow, so we know he’s ready to dive into a new home.

He is a 9 month old cattle dog, sheep dog, eskimo dog mix. Potential adopters should have breed experience. Meet him this Saturday from 10-2pm!
