Darcy's Heart

Darcy's Heart Pet sitting since 2014. Dogs/cats/horses/chickens/goats/ferrets/reptiles- we do it all! Each day I will visit your home as many times as you request.
(5)

I care for all animals from dogs and cats to ferrets, goats, chickens, and even horses. For dogs, I suggest three times per day. For cats, once per day unless they need, or you want them to have, special attention in which case, twice per day. Other services such as a trip to the groomer or the dog park are also available for an additional fee. I will give your pets food and fresh water, give them

medication (if necessary), let them out, scoop litter, and bring in your mail and/or newspaper. I will spend approximately 20 minutes per visit with your pets, to provide them with love and attention. Money that I earn will be used to rescue/care for animals from the shelter.

Just look at that sweet senior face ๐Ÿฅน

"I'm changing my name to ."๐Ÿฅค Folks will stand in line and fist fight over a starbies cup, but won't give me a second look and I'm WAY cuter. Why?!

If I use the right , will that work? If I change my name? We already reduced my adoption fee to just $21. I've been available for adoption about a YEAR AND A HALF...

And still, nobody wants me. ๐Ÿฅบ

What do I have to do??

I'm a 13 year old husky mix, am 100% deaf, and have been treated for heartworms.

But I PROMISE I'm worthy of a loving family!

I really enjoy my outside time, and would even like being an indoor/outdoor dog. Just make sure the fencing is secure, because .... Did I mention Imma husky mix? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜œ

Seriously. I don't know how else to find a home. I've been on television. I've been on radio. I've been so social media and websites. I've been to adoption events... Even two Christmases in a row.

WHAT MORE CAN I DO?! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I guess... Just . Maybe that will work...

โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿšจ Potato โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿšจ You have likely seen Potatoโ€™s little face on our social media before because we have tried and tried to get him and his sister Polly adopted with no luck. Long term residences happen in rescues often and itโ€™s heartbreaking. He has been raised at RTA coming in as a puppy in 2022. Recently Potato started to lose weight but test and bloodwork have determined he is healthy ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป the weight loss is due to stress! ๐Ÿฅบ PLEASE help us find Potato a home! His adoption could just start as a Foster agreement so there isnโ€™t any pressure. If you are willing to give him a chance it would be life changing for this sweet boy. He has never lived in a home before so patience on a routine would be needed. We have never had a problem with him not getting along with other dogs. Heโ€™s been mostly with his sister. Has not been around cats. He is roughly a year and a half old. Boxer Mix. Fixed Male. Current on all Vaccinations.
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Please Share ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ There has to be a home out there for this sweet boy!

Great news! It's entirely up to you! While a general foster commitment is around 6+ weeks, we also need short-term fosters for 2 - 4 weeks. These short-term heroes play a crucial role in caring for animals awaiting transport to partnering rescues. ๐Ÿš—โœจ

Sponsor a Spay! What a great way to help out the overpopulation of animals in town and to keep unwanted litters off the streets and out of the shelter.

This holiday season, we are thrilled to introduce our "Sponsor a Spay" initiative to make a purr-poseful difference in the lives of our community cats.

Your generous donations will directly contribute to our community cat program, specifically supporting spay/neuter appointments for our beloved feline friends in Abilene.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the kindness of our community to sustain our mission, and your support means the world to us. The Community Cat Program is entirely free to the public, ensuring that caring for our stray kitties remains accessible to all.

To express our gratitude, each donor will receive a special Community Cat Program sticker and a festive ornament featuring a picture of one of the cats you've helped save.

Let's join paws and hearts to give the gift of a brighter future for our community cats. Your generosity makes a significant impact, and we are endlessly thankful for your support.

To donate, text "AKAI" to 89871 or go to https://checkout.shelterluv.com/donate/AKAI . Make sure to include your contact information and address in the "Add A Note" box, so we can get you your goodies to express our appreciation!

Our couch cover is in shreds, which is fine as it was super cheap and Sherry didnโ€™t like the color anyway. But Bandit has made it his emotional support shredded couch cover.
