Wow! A huge shout out to the Val Vista Lakes Women’s Club, who held a donation drive for us - look at all the donations they collected for the dogs and cats in our care! We are so grateful for so much community support.

Shhhhh.....we have a little secret for you. Your dog/s told us that they wanted us to drop you a few hints regarding the perfect Valentine's gift. Tomorrow, Saturday, February 15th, between 7:30-10:30 a.m., they would like you to bring them to Scentral Park, located at 952 W. Melody Ave in Gilbert so they can run like greased lighting on the lure course! Yes, they know it's technically the day after Valentine's Day, but that's OK, it's the perfect gift, and it's what they want, so let's give it to them, shall we? All experience levels are welcome, and our volunteers will be on hand to assist those newer to the event. Dogs familiar with one another may run the course together, for double the fun! Walk-ins are welcome with a $10 donation, or you may pre-register and reserve your run time by visiting GiveButter.com/2425F4LLure. We promise they'll show you the love, for the rest of the day!

With special thanks to our friends for their generous sponsorship of this event!

Precious, adorable, Glitter Bug is a 2 year old, petite, female, Orange Tabby cat. Of course, all cats are special, but Glitter Bug is also unique. Only 20% of orange cats are female because the gene for orange fur is carried on the X chromosome, and since females have two X chromosomes, they must have two copies of the gene. This friendly, and affectionate girl likes to reward her humans with bunts and purrs. Her favorite activities are catnip toys and playing with wand toys. This little gem is residing at our adoption center and can't wait to meet you!
