Founded in 2011, Operation Pets Alive! is a local, nonprofit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to working with people and government to provide life-saving, no-kill programs through innovative programs that raise awareness, reduce the number of dogs and cats that enter shelters and increase the number of pets that leave shelters alive. The fees to adopt an animal are $150 for dogs and $75 for cats.
