5As is a no-kill shelter dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of all animals in need of a home.

Our mission is to provide shelter and care for the homeless and abandoned animals of the Riverbend area. As a no-kill shelter, we provide a haven for these animals until they are adopted out to qualified homes. We stress the abhorrence of any type of cruelty to animals. We also encourage spaying and neutering of all animals and provide treatment and care to any sick or injured animal through our excellent rapport with local veterinarians, providing humane euthanasia if the animal is terminal. We give advice on the care of pets, always stressing anti-cruelty by participating in community health and safety programs, including speeches to school children, scout troops and employing a staff of caring individuals at the shelter.
