Happy Tails Update!
Vivian continues in her role as "best cat ever". She is missing "her girl" who left for college 2 weeks ago. Vivian appears to completely understand facetime and positions herself front and center when she hears Hadley's voice on the phone. She still sticks by Kevin's side through his surgery/treatments and has her own space in his home office. Vivian had her first experience with a pet sitter, who found her to be adorable. She had a rough time initially on her first vet visit. Mainly just being in the carrier. Lucky, it's a short drive. She cried/yelled the whole time. Once we were there, she was very cooperative. The tech knew her from volunteering at your shelter and expected to be bitten. Vivian was an angel.

Trusty is in need of a new home!

This is a courtesy post. Please contact the owner directly via email at [email protected].

Meet Trusty, a beautiful 3.5-year-old fawn-colored Bloodhound with dark brown eyes and a distinctive white spot on her chest. Trusty is a loving and athletic dog with a knack for agility, jumping high, and tracking scents from afar. She is also a great cuddler and has a playful, goofy side that will keep you smiling.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Trusty’s owner, Meredith, can no longer provide the active lifestyle and exercise that Trusty needs. Meredith originally got Trusty with the hopes of training her for search and rescue, but a chronic illness and financial hardship have made it impossible to give Trusty the life she deserves.

Trusty has been a wonderful companion but, unfortunately, she does not get along well with the older dog in the household, especially around meal times. She has shown some resource guarding behavior during feeding, which is managed by feeding her separately in her crate.

Trusty would thrive in a home without cats and with a family who can match her energy and give her plenty of love, attention, and outdoor time. She loves playing fetch, swimming, and doing nose work, but she should not be let off-leash as her Bloodhound instincts will lead her on adventures.

Trusty is housetrained and generally well-behaved when left alone, especially when she has access to her crate, which is her safe space. However, she is terrified of nail trims, thunder, and fireworks, so her new home should be prepared to help her feel secure during these times.

This is a heartbreaking decision for Meredith, but she knows that finding Trusty a new home is the best thing for her. Trusty deserves a family that can keep up with her and provide her with the active and loving life she craves.

If you are interested in giving Trusty a forever home, please contact Meredith directly at [email protected].

Update the shelter that adopted the dogs are going to take them.
🐾 Foster Needed for Surprise Momma and Her Pups! 🐾
A sweet momma dog, recently adopted from a neighboring shelter, surprised her new family with an unexpected litter of 9 puppies—despite being assured she was spayed! Tragically, two little ones have passed away, and two have already found loving homes. Now, we're on the lookout for compassionate fosters to help care for this momma and her remaining pups.
If you have room in your heart and home for these unexpected blessings, please consider becoming a foster! Your support could make all the difference for these little lives.
They would like to keep mom after she has weened her pups!

September is National Puppy Mill Awareness Month! 🐶 🐾

Puppy mills are large-scale, unregulated, for-profit breeding operations. Puppies from puppy mills are often sick, unsocialized, and live in confined conditions. The adults are forced to breed and are discarded when they are no longer useful. Learn to recognize the red flags; together, we can make a difference and stop the suffering.

Today's Cat of the Day is Shrapnel! ⚒️

Shrapnel has a checkered past, having been brought in as a stray after he wandered into someone's home and got a little upset when she tried to break up a fight with her cat. This street cat turned lover boy would do great in a home with dogs but his time fighting on the streets has made every cat in the world his #1 enemy ⚰️ He would also make a great barn cat if you needed someone to defend your property from other roaming cats and pesky mice 🔪 Shrapnel can play rough so a home with older children who know the complex nature of cats would be ideal. Due to his feisty behavior, he's had no choice but to live in a quarantine cage rather than out with other cats 😭 Shrapnel has become a staff favorite so we would love to get him a forever home or even a foster home!

Please apply for Shrapnel today at our website so he can find his new home!

Today's cat of the Day is Squirrel! 🌳

Squirrel came to the shelter over 200 days ago and has only had only 1 application that didn’t pan out 💔 As the shelters longest resident, Squirrel is the life of the party being one of the most playful and prey driven cats here! He would do great as an indoor cat, a barn cat, or an indoor/outdoor cat, Squirrel can do it all! Due to his high prey drive, he would be an excellent candidate to hunt mice 🐁 Squirrel would love to have his new hunting ground to himself so if your partner says you can only have one cat, Squirrel is the guy for you! He loves to play, so a home with children who can give him the enrichment he craves would be his dream 🤩

Please apply for Squirrel today on our website so we can get this rambunctious fella his forever home!
