Please keep a lookout for this pup, she was recently fostered to a family off of Lower Browns Creek Rd. in the South Toe area. She is shy and most likely won’t come to people, but if you see her, please let us know and we can set out a live trap.

We have three puppies here that are extremely fearful, most likely have had very little human contact. We are looking for a kind soul or souls to come temporarily foster them one at a time to show them that humans can be trusted. Hopefully this will help them get adopted. If you have the time and patience, please consider doing this, it is so rewarding to see them blossom.

Gracie is a 12 year old cat in need of a new home. She is not at the shelter. If you are interested in her you would need to call 571-594-6802. She is fine with dogs, has been an indoor/outdoor cat and would prefer to be the only cat in the home. According to her current owners she is loving to her humans.

Excuse us while we re-post a compliment! Seriously, it's hard work and often unappreciated, so when I got this email yesterday two things stood out to me. First I am thrilled that Lightning is doing so well and has such a wondeful home. And second (and so important) I wanted our staff to know what a great job they do and how appreciated they are. And what a difference they make in the lives of others...both animal and human. So allow me to share this email's contents and pat them on the back for a job well done!

"I greatly appreciate the consideration that you gave me and my daughter when we came to get Lighting and to complete the adoption. The world needs more people like you and your volunteers especially in these present times. Lighting is doing great and I have attached a picture of him in his new bed. I will send you pictures from time to time. Again, much appreciation for your professionalism, and the nice way we were treated at your facility. "

On this day 3 years ago we took in a litter of German Shepherd pups from a home in Union County, NC. They were from a hoarding situation and a friend transported them to us. Their names were Edgar, Elliot, Evelyn, Edmond and Eleanor. Three years later, here is what Eleanor's mom said about life with her... Now called Ellie Mae.

"Happy Gotcha Day Ellie Mae Clampet! How has it been 3 years already? She still has a lot of fear in her. Unfortunately, she is still afraid of the shower curtain noise and will deep bark like crazy everytime it's retracted. I don't understand it. She's definitely traumatized. Some men and women were working on taking down the neighbors fence today. She saw them through the window and jumped on the couch with me. She was shaking, shivering in fear. She sits in this awkward position crumpled into the wall or the back of the couch whenever she gets nervous. (Like in the shelter photo) I hate that someone damaged her so much. She's never been in trouble with me. She's never known anything but love here. She's so sweet. She's literally never been naughty, like my other two. She's never torn anything up, or gotten in the trash. She's very well behaved. I just wanted to share that she is my Pretty, Pretty girl and I'm so glad I was drawn to adopt her. My only complaint is she sheds more than any dog I have ever had! Zeeke the Freak I thought was the master at shedding! Look at her getting a grey muzzle and how much lighter she is. German Shepherds change color so much. Thanks Ellie for being the sweet girl in my pack. NO is funny and bossy. ICHIBOD is a mommas boy and comedian. ELLIE is a sweet little perfect angel."

Her mom was wanting to hear from any others in the litter if anyone is on here and wants to share. Please do!
