UPDATE- Vonda Kay was adopted for heartworm treatment 12/26!

🐾Meet Vonda Kay
She’s 2-years-old, 48 pounds, and has a soul that is much bigger than her body.
To be honest, the world feels a little bit loud to Vonda Kay right now. She’s a timid girl who is looking for a gentle soul to lean on—someone to show her that she is safe, loved, and finally home. Once she feels safe, she will be the sweetest and best girl.
❤️‍🩹Vonda Kay is currently Heartworm positive, but please don’t let that deter you! The shelter is covering 100% of her treatment costs. She just needs a quiet place to rest her head while she heals.
🏠If you have a calm home and a lot of love to give, Vonda Kay might be the missing piece to your puzzle. 🧩💕
!! PRIORITY LIST!!

Meet Sandalwood 🐾
This gentle, sweet soul has the softest fur and the prettiest face. She can be a little shy at first, but with patience and kindness, her true personality begins to shine. She takes treats oh-so-gently and seems to appreciate every small kindness shown to her.
🌸Once she feels comfortable, Sandalwood blossoms into a loving snuggle bug who enjoys being close and sharing cozy moments. She’s the kind of dog who will steal your heart with her softness—both inside and out.
❤️‍🩹Sandalwood is heartworm positive, but don’t worry—the shelter will cover the cost of her treatment. All she needs now is a calm, loving home and someone willing to give her the time and reassurance she deserves. In return, she’ll offer endless sweetness and gentle love.

’Twas the night before Christmas, inside the shelter so still,
Not a creature was stirring—no bark, meow, or shrill.
The leashes were hung by the kennels with care,
In hopes that forever homes soon would be there.

The puppies lay curled in their blankets so neat,
While kittens dreamed softly of laps warm and sweet.
With staff gone for the evening and lights turned down low,
The shelter felt quiet, a gentle soft glow.

When out in the hallway there arose such a sound,
A jingle, a shuffle of paws all around.
The dogs lifted heads, ears perked just so,
The cats blinked awake—what could this be, though?

Down the aisle came magic, not sleigh nor reindeer,
But hope wrapped in kindness and holiday cheer.
It smelled just like turkey and biscuits and love,
Like miracles sent from the heavens above.

Beds grew more cozy, bowls filled just right,
New toys appeared in the soft kennel light.
Each tail gave a wag, each whisker did twitch,
As joy filled the shelter—oh, isn’t this rich?

Then a whisper was heard, so gentle, so true:
“Every one of you matters. There’s a family for you.”
The words settled softly on fur, paws, and nose,
A promise of warmth when the right doorbell goes.

As quickly as came, the magic slipped out,
Leaving comfort and hope scattered all about.
And the pets drifted off, hearts full and bright,
Dreaming of homes by the firelight.

But the message remained as the morning drew near,
For all who might listen, for all who might hear:
Adopt. Donate. Foster. Help dreams come true.
Merry Christmas to our shelter pets—still waiting for you. 🎄🐶🐱
