Who are we?
The Red Door Animal Shelter is a multi-species, no-kill shelter that helps cats, rabbits, and dogs. The shelter opened its doors in January, 2000, and in its first year, it came to the aid of over 300 animals in crisis-- particularly those animals whose injuries, age, temperament, or illness either denies them admission or predisposes them to euthanasia at other humane agencies.
At Red Door, all animals are spayed/neutered and vet-checked. Cats and dogs are microchipped before adoption.
- Cats are tested for FIV and Fel V; dogs are tested for heartworms. Both cats and dogs receive distemper and rabies vaccines; dogs receive the bordetella vaccine as well.
- Rabbits are litterbox-trained.
- Adopted animals are covered by a 30-day health guarantee.
- While living at the shelter, the animals are housed in a primarily cageless environment and receive individual attention from youth and adult volunteers.
Red Door is one of only five no-kill animal shelters in the U.S. who
take in rabbits, neuter them, and place them for adoption.
Red Door is a not-for-profit, 501 (3)(c) organization. It receives no
federal, state, or city money. It is funded by private donations and
grants from private foundations.
Adoption hours: Monday and Wednesday 12-7 and Thursday - Sunday and Tuesday 12-4. Please arrive one hour in advance of closing time. Appointments are highly recommended.
