🐾 Day 4 Update 🐾
We’re going to be honest — we’re running out of steam, and a little bit of hope.

Today, we have only adopted out 6 animals. That’s 6 lives changed, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. But our goal is 100 adoptions by July 19th, and we are far from where we need to be.

Every kennel we walk past is another set of eyes waiting… hoping… for someone to choose them.

We know times are tough. We know adopting is a big commitment.
But if you've been thinking about it — even just thinking — now is the time to act.

🐾 Adoption fees are waived on animals over 4 months of age thanks to an scootiom sponsorship from BISSELL Pet Foundation
🐱 Adoption fees for animals under 4 months of age are $25 thankd to thr same sponsorship from Cathy Bissell
🐶Adoption includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines and treatments, and microchip.

💔 We don’t want to see these animals spend one more night alone.
Please help us spread the word, come meet your new best friend, or donate to support those still waiting.

Let’s turn this around together. 💪 Let’s empty the shelter.

🚨 URGENT – Darla & Quincy Need Immediate Help 🚨

Our hearts are heavy as we share that Darla and Quincy, two 1-year-old Lab mixes, are rapidly declining in our care. Despite our best efforts, the shelter environment is taking a serious toll on their emotional well-being.

🐾 Darla (Right) is a sweet, medium-sized girl who’s very shy in new situations. She gets along well with other dogs and just needs a little time and patience to feel safe. Sadly, the stress of kennel life is getting to her—she’s now showing signs of kennel spinning and barrier reactivity, both signs of emotional distress.

🐾 Quincy (Left) is also very shy and currently part of a playgroup where he does great with other dogs. However, like Darla, he’s also displaying kennel reactivity and excessive spinning—clear indicators that he is not coping well in this environment.

We’ve worked extensively with both of these pups and know they have the potential to thrive in the right environment. Unfortunately, if they don’t find a home or foster by end of day Monday, we will be forced to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize them.

💔 We never want to give up on dogs like Darla and Quincy. But at this point, it is no longer humane to keep them in this environment.

📍 We’re open until 4 PM today, and all adoption fees are waived. Please, if you’ve been thinking about fostering or adopting, now is the time.

🐾 Meet Bella – A Survivor with a Heart Full of Hope 🐾

This is Bella, a sweet 1-year-old small Chihuahua mix with a truly heart-wrenching story. Bella was one of 8 dogs rescued in a severe animal cruelty case in Rossville. Sadly, only two made it out alive.

She and her sister were found in a small, uninhabitable, unventilated room during extreme heat. Thanks to the quick and heroic actions of Walker County deputies and animal control officers, Bella was pulled to safety just in time. Her sister found her forever home Yesterday—now it’s Bella’s turn.

Bella is full of love, resilience, and a gentle spirit. She’s ready for her second chance at life—and it could be with you. 💕

🐶 Adoption fee waived thanks to the generosity of Cathy Bissell and the BISSELL Pet Foundation!
📍 We’re open today until 4 PM—come meet this precious girl!

🐾 Woof Crush Wednesday! 🐾

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Stratton, our incredible 3-legged friend! 🐶💛

Stratton is 5 years old and full of love. Stratton was brought into the shelter via animal control from an animal cruelty case. Stratton’s previous owners, who were charged by animal control, allowed him to run loose, and eventually he was struck by a vehicle, where he ultimately had his leg amputated due to the prolonged injury. Despite having just three legs, he's as friendly, playful, and sweet as can be. His heart is as big as his smile, and he's ready to steal yours! 🦴✨

Stratton’s adoption fee is waived at this time thanks to Cathy Bissell at the BISSELL Pet Foundation!

If you’re looking for a companion who’s already been through so much and still gets up each day with hope that there’s a better tomorrow with loving family, then he's what you’ve been waiting for. We’re open until 4 PM today — come by and meet this awesome pup in person. Stratton can’t wait to wag his tail just for you!
