About Us
At Misfits & Underdogs, we put our love for pets and their owners into all that we do.
Our Passion for Pets
Like most people in society, the founders of Misfits & Underdogs Sanctuary had witnessed countless examples where animals are ignored by our fellow humans. The idea that there might be an animal facility where these misfits could find sanctuary seemed like a worthwhile goal to strive towards; so they set out on their journey into creating such a place. Our goal is to help people and animals in need. We strive every day toward making our community kinder and united! As we are a family-owned and operated company, we firmly believe in treating each client as part of the MUS family.
