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
Oakes arrived to our shelter as a local stray wandering the busy streets of Allentown alone. Luckily one of our wonderful volunteers saw him, saved him, and has been taking care of him for the last few weeks. Oakes is now ready to find his forever family after his previous humans failed him. Oakes is such a sweet and friendly boy. Just look at that adorable face. He is dog friendly and loves all people too! Oakes is a 1½ year old pittie mix. He would benefit from a family with an active lifestyle. We also learned through his foster dad that he is not a fan of chickens
