🐕 SADIE ADOPTION UPDATE 🐕

From her family....
Sadie continues to do well. Hard to believe she will be 10 this year 🥹 She is loved fiercely by all of us. She still loves to chill - contnuing to live up to the nickname "Potato" that Becky and Sean gave her. When she's not being a couch potato, she enjoys walks around town (and this summer even started enjoying golf cart rides when the pavement was too hot for paws). She's truly the best dog for our family!

~ Another wonderful update~ 🥰

🐕 GOOD MORNING 🐕

I thought I would just check in and say hello. Here I am hanging out with my fur friends and I also got a visitor this weekend. I'm still hanging out waiting for my FUREVER home. I was told that my adoption post had 34 shares but nobody has contacted the rescue, honesty I might look big but I'm really a BIG LOVE BUG and I'm eager to show my new family what all I can do. Thank you for sharing and I know my family will come when the time is right. Have a wuffen day 🐕🐾 ~Sapphire ~

HELPING ABUSED CHILDREN AND ADULTS BY REPORTING ANIMAL CRUELTY

Abusers of children, elders and vulnerable individuals won’t likely boast about or admit to their abusive behaviors. However, law enforcement studies have indicated that these abusive individuals often admit to…even brag about…their maltreatment and abuse of animals.

Perhaps these abusers don’t believe that animal abuse is a serious matter or, perhaps, they believe that their local law enforcement agencies have little interest in pursuing animal abusers. Whatever the reason, we need to pay attention to any and all admissions of animal cruelty.

Additionally, those working with young children should be alert to reports, from these children, about frequently “disappearing” pets and/or repeated animal deaths in their home.

While pets do wander off and many sadly die, and while animals do get injured from time to time, repeated instances of missing, deceased and/or injured pets could be an indication of existing abuse of family members and may serve as a warning of future violence.

It is critically important that community members report concerns regarding any type of abuse and recognize the link between animal cruelty and family violence.

“See something. Say something. Make the call.”

Hello Villagers,
For those who don't know me, my name is Sapphire. I wanted to share the good news with you, I have been medically cleared, so you know what that means, yup you got it, I can now start looking for my FUREVER home. So let me tell you about myself.
I'm a 7 year old 60 # Pit/Husky mix, I'm Spayed, Vaccinated, Heartworm negative and Microchipped. I'm kennel trained and house broke. I know sit/stay/come and lay, I walk well on a leash. I get along with small/big dogs but not well with cats. I love kids, I enjoy cuddling and hanging out with my humans. I also enjoy car rides. What I'm looking for in my new family is a fenced yard and to be apart of the family.!! If you feel that I might fit in with your family and make the commitment to love me unconditionally, please feel free to message the Rescue. Thank you for your time ~Sapphire ~

🐕 OTTO ADOPTION UPDATE 🐕

From his Family....
Otto (Chase) is the happiest fluff in the winter! He loves playing in the snow and even more - car/Ranger rides. He comes with me on my chores and does his best to help (usually chasing all the animals in the wrong direction but brownie points for effort).

He loves snuggles and howling with his siblings!
