🚨SOS: SEEKING OUR SUPPORTERS!

We are bursting with dogs of all ages, breeds, ability, and personality - and we are so lucky to be entrusted with their care. That said, adoptions are slower than ever, and our latest fundraiser was a net loss, as we spent more on gas than we raised - by a lot. 😢

Because of this, we are seeking YOUR help to share our posts and to donate to [email protected] on $5 Friday on THIS Friday, May 31st.

We know that not everyone is in a place where they can adopt, but if you can make even a micro-donation and share our adoptable dogs with your network of friends, we're hopeful we can make a difference in these dogs' lives and get them to loving, safe homes sooner than later.

Anyone else noticed an increase in pet care cost? I certainly have!! A surgery performed on a friends 120lb dog in 2021 cost $5000.
Another friend was quoted yesterday $10,000 for a very similar surgery on their 15 lb cat

After a bad year for kennel cough, there are other reasons your pup might have a lingering cough that doesn’t seem to clear up.

Happy New Year✨✨✨, I hope it’s been a happy and healthy one so far.
With the current rise in cases and high transmission I will be limiting clients in the shop and if possible, just bring the pups to the shop door.
Hopefully this will only be for a few weeks until our numbers slow down.
I can also come get the pups from the car if that is preferred.
