According to the shelter's website, its mission is to aid lost or abandoned pets and to promote responsible ownership, education and population control.

The shelter has a detailed process to make sure that responsible owners adopt its animals. It also has a foster program where volunteers care for animals, such as kittens, until they are old enough to be adopted.
