Today we worked on socializing to build more play groups. Daisy, Murphy and Willow all get along great! Murphy and Daisy love playing in the water while Willow prefers to not get her toes wet.
All three of these babies are in search of their furever homes!

A HUGE thank you to all of our recent donators, Tractor Supply Co being a big one of them!
Just a reminder that the shelter could always use donations of dog food, cat litter, laundry detergent, bleach, toys, and treats.

DON’T MISS! Drive through rabies vaccine clinic on July 12th at The Arena Bar. This is the perfect opportunity to get your dog, cat, or other animals up to date on their rabies vaccine.
This is one of the most IMPORTANT vaccines your pet can have, especially with positive rabies cases being on the rise in Cochise county!

Meet Daisy 🌼
This sweet girl has a tragic backstory, she was dumped with her two brothers in March. When Daisy came in she was very skinny and had a broken ankle that had already healed crooked, she never lost her spirit though! While she has been waiting at the shelter she has come to a healthy weight and she is ready for her new home! She’s an energetic young girl, she loves swimming, and she gets along with other dogs with a proper meet and greet. She is wary of new people but once she trusts you she will be your best friend! Please message us on Facebook or leave a message with the shelter if you are interested in meeting Daisy 🌼

Hey everybody, just wanted to update you on what's happening at the shelter this week. We're very happy to be getting our new roof! Unfortunately, with that, our internet and phones are down. We are working to fix the problem. The shelter will remain closed for the rest of the week.

The shelter is still over capacity and cannot take more animals. We are in desperate need of families to adopt these wonderful animals. Some of these dogs have been here far too long. We are not an animal rescue or sanctuary and without adopters decisions will have to be made about the fate of the animals. Unfortunately municipal shelters are forced to make these difficult decisions.

Please be responsible and spay or neuter your pets and please
don't breed irresponsibly.

We had a great success today! In the midst of all the adoptions, we forgot to take pictures. But big congratulations to skipper, Ozzie, Janice, and Bowie for finding your new homes today!
