Let's come together to celebrate the amazing Susan Krudwig on her birthday!! She's the one who, after returning from Vegas at 4 AM, shows up bright and early to adoption events. Did you hear about the invisible fence contest? That was thanks to this wonderful woman. With her competitive spirit, and heart full of love, she has brought so much good to countless pets in need.

Susan, you don’t only go above and beyond for our animals but also our human team. Your tireless efforts don't go unnoticed. Happy birthday, Susan! We truly appreciate your dedication and all the joy you bring. We love you!!❤️🎉

Immediate foster needed!

Marcus is 8 years old and is in desperate need of a foster to continue his heartworm treatment, his current foster will be returning him due to no fault of his own.

It is very important for a dog to not be in the shelter during the heartworm treatment as the shelter is a very stressful environment! Please help this sweet boy out!

Despite his loving & happy spirit, being confined has been challenging for Twisters mental health.

🐾 Did You Know? 🧠🐕 Unlocking the secrets to a happy and healthy dog lies in the power of mental enrichment!

Why It Matters:
Prevents Boredom: Enrichment turns mundane moments into exciting adventures, keeping boredom at bay.

Promotes Mental Well-being: Just like physical exercise, mental stimulation is a vital component of a dog's overall health.

Encourages Problem-Solving: Puzzle toys challenge their cognitive abilities, encouraging problem-solving skills.

Strengthens Bond: Interactive games and training sessions strengthen the bond between you and your furry friend.

🐶 How to Enrich Their Day:
Puzzle Toys: Stimulate their minds with toys that dispense treats as they figure out the puzzle.

Interactive Games: Engage in games that tap into their natural instincts, like hide-and-seek or tug-of-war.

Training Sessions: Positive reinforcement training not only teaches new tricks but also provides mental stimulation.

🐾 Did You Know? 🤝🐶 Studies reveal that our canine companions possess a remarkable sense of fairness. If one dog receives a reward for a task and another doesn't, the unrewarded dog may show reluctance to perform the task. 🐕✨

💖 Today, honor the sense of fairness that makes dogs not just companions but equitable friends. Consider welcoming a loyal and fair-minded friend into your life, creating a bond built on trust and understanding.

Visit our shelter and discover the beauty of a relationship founded on fairness and unconditional love. Your new furry friend is ready for a lifetime of shared adventures! 🏡🐾
