Mission
Pets Lifeline is dedicated to protecting and improving the lives of cats and dogs in need in Sonoma Valley through sheltering and adoption, humane education, and community programs.
Program accomplishments

We place animals into loving, permanent homes if their owners do not reclaim them. Pets Lifeline averages an intake of 500 cats and dogs per year with a 98% live release rate. All shelter animals are spayed or neutered before adoption to help control future unwanted animals. In addition, they are seen by a veterinarian before adoption and receive all necessary vaccinations.Expenses $1,280,384 · revenue $113,994

The programs are taught by Pets Lifeline educators on Sonoma Valley elementary school campuses, as well as at our own facility, and include programs such as "Kids Speak for Pets", "Early Literacy Intervention", "Library Skills Instruction", and "Humane Education Summer Camp".
