DID YOU KNOW?
πββ¬Today is National Black Cat Appreciation Day! πββ¬
Black cats are one of the least adopted cats in shelters all across the nation and it's just because of the superstitious history given to them. Most people don't know that sailors actually thought black cats were GOOD LUCK and took them on board their ships. We have a few here that would love to show you how good they really are!
Stop by today to see for yourself!

Nemesio update!
Officially a week of recovery and this boy now weighs 12.8 lbs! He's gained back 50% of his initial weight and received his first vaccination. The short video mash up below will show you how much BETTER he's feeling. Watch until the end for the cutest pic!

Dunkin is one of our senior dogs currently up for adoption. To Dunkin, age is just a number. He came to us in 2022 as an unclaimed stray. Back then he had what appeared to be the marks left from a collar. Today, those marks have faded and he's just a happy dog that bounces between his kennel and bed inside, to the outside kennels for play time during cleaning. We've come to believe he was probably kept as an outside dog for most of his life given his lack of housetraining (to be completely honest). That doesn't make him any less deserving of a forever home though! Dunkin is content here but being the senior he is, he is developing arthritis in his hips and really needs a home that can give him a soft, comfy bed to rest on and a fenced yard to patrol whenever he feels it necessary. That doesn't mean he can be a yard ornament however. He likes to play tug and loves to chase a ball so he still needs his humans to interact with on the regular! Someone special will get to love Dunkin just the way he is for the rest of his days. Is that someone you?

This video was taken after some stacks of food were already moved to the last bit of open space we had in the back kennels. Insane!

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month!
As much as we try to explain to visitors that the dogs will act crazy but they're not always like that...we usually get looks of skepticism. π
Some people get upset to see the dogs acting crazy in their kennels and think they never get to rest. We promise, they do.
The dogs settle into the routine and relax and become comfortable with those people they see every day. The dogs that have higher anxiety get extra time outside and a little more attention from us until they've settled in.
One of our employees was able to catch these "before and after" videos of the dogs in the back kennel area and made a little presentation out of them. Make sure your sound is on - just not turned up too loud. π
When you're looking to adopt, remember that you're a stranger to them and some dogs aren't always the friendly, outgoing, extrovert kind. They've been abused or starved or abandoned and they need their trust to be earned.

Iggy and Titan in the field.
You may have seen our recent post about Iggy and Titan being adopted today. They gave us a great opportunity to share something that's all to common with shelter dogs, bonded pairs or not.
Iggy and Titan's new owners had met with each one, separately in a room. Despite the boys being a little shy, they fell in love with both of them. So we offered to let the adopters see just how bonded these two were by spending some time in the field. And the decision to keep them together was almost instant! You can see why by watching these short videos of absolute happiness and confidence! (2nd video in comments)
Please remember, if you're thinking of adopting from a shelter and you're put off by the behavior of the dogs in their kennels, give them a chance in a room or even in the field. It makes ALL the difference!
This is also the reason why we want a fenced yard for so many of our adult dogs. While they can be leash trained, go for walks, go to the dog park, etc., a fenced area like this keeps them safe and let's you enjoy watching moments like this for their whole lives!
