A look back at 2024...
We've achieved so much in 2024, thanks to you. ❤️
From adopters giving animals loving homes, to volunteers and fosters dedicating countless hours, to donors whose generosity fuels our mission – thank you, we couldn't do this without you.
But the journey doesn't stop here. We can't wait to share even more exciting things with you in 2025. Here's to continuing this amazing work, together. 🐾 Happy New Year!
We have one final Elf delivery for you, please help us bring joy to all by sharing with your family and friends!
Happy Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night!
Our elves have been extremely busy this morning making Holidays memories for lots of families! May your Holiday memories be as special!
Christmas Came Early: Mom & Puppies
Christmas came early here at Nate's 🥰 Our volunteers and staff are busy caring for this sweet mama and her 6 newborn puppies this holiday season. Around-the-clock care is needed to make sure mama is strong and healthy and her babies are getting everything they need.
These tiny miracles remind us of the little gifts that make the holidays so special. ❤️
National Ugly Sweater Day: Shelter Edition
It's #NationalUglySweaterDay and Ryker & Pepita are sleighing the competition! 😉🐾🎄
We're open today and full of dogs and cats ready to find their homes for the holidays. Come out and adopt from 11am-4pm!
Unwrap a Shelter Dog!
Shelter dogs are the gifts that keep on giving! 😍✨🐶 Ready to unwrap some love? We're open today from 11am-4pm.
Give Pepita a Chance...
Behind every kennel door is a personality waiting to be seen ❤️
When you approach Pepita’s kennel, you see a dog who’s shy and reserved. But take her out to the play yard, and she is a completely different dog.
You’ll see her true beauty and a personality that’s full of love and joy—an affectionate girl who loves to play and be showered with attention. Pepita is proof that every shelter animal deserves a chance to show their true selves.
Nate's Christmas Deliveries

Honey Bear's One Wish...
PUPDATE: ADOPTED!! Honey Bear is still waiting for her Christmas miracle... a forever home or even a foster family. ❤️
We didn't receive ANY foster applications from our recent plea. Our staff are working overtime to ensure she's comfortable after her recent eye surgery, but we're hoping to give her a warm home for the holidays. If you're thinking about making a difference in a shelter dog's life, now is the time! If not now, please share to make a difference.
🐾 If interested in being her foster, she needs a home with no other dogs while she recovers and twice daily eye medication. Complete a foster application on our website or email [email protected].
Birdie's Still Waiting...
Meet Birdie 🐱 She came to us with her three kittens who have since been adopted; leaving her here, alone and waiting for love.
Birdie is a 2-year old Tabby cat who LOVES to play, explore, and climb. She'd love to find herself a home for the holidays (and forever) where she can give you endless love and thanks.
Add a furry friend to the family this holiday season and adopt Birdie!
