Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter

We are a small 501-c(3) No-kill, Quality of Life Animal Shelter.
We strive to give our animals the best life we can until their forever home is found.


Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter operates as a "quality of life" shelter, and the devoted workers are committed to making sure that every animal in their care has exactly that.


In addition, all animals receive all necessary shots, wormings, and other medical treatments.
