🎄❤️please help us share one of our favorite girls - Bella! We know her perfect family is out there! ❤️🎄

We’ve shared bella several times in the last couple of weeks and we’re shocked we haven’t had anyone interested in her yet! She is literally such an amazing girl! She did group class with our board member, Melissa, tonight - and here’s some stuff we noticed.

🔔Walked beautifully on the leash.

🔔 Cats? Whatever.

🔔 ignored every dog in class until we did some meet and greets - was gentle and slow moving. Perfect body language.

🔔 can “sit”, “on”, and “off”.

🔔 loved playing with the tennis ball after class and bounced around like the happiest girl.

🔔 barked at our gate to go potty when she needed to (we love a potty trained queen).

She is as close to a latch key dog as you can get. She’s dog friendly, cat friendly, potty trained, loving but playful, and such a sweet girl.

She’s ready to go to a home and we’re ready to watch her fall in love with the life she deserves!

We know it feels super close to Christmas but look at this beautiful backdrop that Smitty's Lawn and Landscape has put together for our Deck the Paws event! Glimmer & Grace photography will be snapping pics that you can hang all season long! We hope you stop by and join us today from 2-4!

I cannot say enough about each of these individuals that come out to work with our animals, feed them, water them, or snuggle/play with them.

The animals we have don't choose to come to us. They are often dumped, never claimed (even when we know their owners), have medical issues, or sometimes behavior issues. They're not always the easiest animals to work with but they are still so deserving of love and quality time - these people give their own free time to make that happen for our animals and I am so grateful for each of them.

Our running St Bernard has found her forever! We love you, Dodger! Enjoy all the love!

Sometimes in rescue, a dog comes along so special that if you looked up “perfection” in the dictionary, their face would be right there. Dodge was one of those dogs for us. She was unforgettable from the moment I met her.

As soon as her stray hold was up, she went home with Katie and her family, where she began learning how to trust humans and what it truly means to be loved. Early on, Dodge earned the nickname “the big teddy bear,” because her favorite activity was simply lounging wherever she landed and the kids laid on her.

Before long, she found her spark — playing in the snow, tagging along on store adventures, and settling into family life with ease. Dodge became such a natural part of the household that Katie’s husband even filled out an application to keep her. Katie knew, though, that Dodge was young and deserved undivided attention and every opportunity to thrive.

We held onto the belief that Dodge’s perfect family was out there. The moment she met the Hanus family, she was completely at ease. She adored the kids and even rested her lips on Dad’s face — a sure sign she felt safe and loved.

Letting Dodge go was the hardest adoption I’ve ever done, but when I looked into her eyes, I knew she was telling me she was going to be just fine. And she was right. The Hanus family loves her just as much as we did. They send me all the pictures (which I absolutely love), and she is officially a Hanus.

You hit the jack pot sweet girl!

All my certifications are through the National Animal Control Association and they’re always sending out new trainings.

I definitely get giddy when I get emails about trainings that are going to benefit what we do and our neglect/court cases. 🤍

Meet baby Tig! He’s hard to see but he’s in the crate straight back laying down to rest while we were chatting. He’s learning to stay cool, calm, and collected in his kennel. He hardly has any accidents and he’s such a smart little guy!

Tig is a black lab mix between 3-4 months old. He is going to be one heck of a dog for someone!! We love ya, little goofball!
