In accordance with the Governor’s request we will be closed to the public for the safety of the staff and public until further notice. We are at the shelter everyday caring for our animals.
*We will be doing by appointment only adoptions. We ask that you look on our website www.dessinshelters.com and use the link for Petfinder and have an animal in mind when applying.
*We CAN NOT allow anyone to walk through the shelter at this time.
*You are still welcome to submit applications online for adoptions dessin@ptd.net, or by fax 570-253-4745 applications can be found on www.dessinshelters.com under the adoption tab.
*We also are very sad to say that we can not except volunteers for walking dogs or for helping at the shelter now. We understand that you all have cabin fever and would like to help. We appreciate all of the offers and please remember that we will need your help when the hold on everything is removed. Applications can be found on our website. Please fill out both, the application and the hold harmless. Email to Dessinvolunteer@gmail.com

If anyone has questions we are still taking calls. We are sorry for any inconvenience but it’s for everyone’s safety. Our main goal will be caring for the animals. Thank you 570-253-4037
