Dear Reader:

I want to express my deep appreciation for our paid staff and volunteers. They are exceptionally caring and dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to maintain our facility and assist you whenever needed.

To sustain a respectful environment for our team and keep our center clean, please do not dispose of animal waste at the recycling center. Please note that placing waste in boxes or plastic bags does not make it recyclable, and the center does not process these materials.

Thank you for your cooperation and for your continued respect for our staff.
