We had a wonderful Volunteer come out today to Bless our Pets as well as our staff.

The pets calmed down and relaxed after their blessing. The power of prayer at work right before our eyes. Some days are harder than others but prayer brings us unyielding peace. One day at a time, one pet at a time, the prayers will not cease. We have many wonderful pets available for adoption at this time. All hoping that their chance at a happy forever after is just around the corner.

❌Nelson County Foster Home Needed❌

Our sweetheart girl Sugar is still waiting for her chance at a foster home. She is one of our two neglect cases working their way through the justice system currently. Her best friend Gypsy was fortunate to find her a home to await her trial. Sugar has been in our care since March 2024. We can not offer her up for adoption until her owners go through the courts. Our hope is that she can leave our shelter in the rearview and finish her wait in a home that can shower her with love, affection, long walks, trips to tractor supply, and days out on the town. She has come so far and not once has she lost her faith in people. Even after all she's been through her heart of gold shines through to everyone she meets.

Sugar is a loving and affectionate girl. LOVES to run out her zoomies in our play yard then come in to a snuggle pawty with us. We would need her foster to not have other dogs currently. If you have a fenced in yard that would be perfect so that she can have freedom to romp and run without restraint.

We will provide everything you will need to foster. All you will need to provide is a happy loving home. If you think you can offer her the space she needs to fully shine and the opportunity to experience what a true loving home is really like PLEASE reach out to us at (502)348-1885.
