🎄❤️ Home for the Holidays – Meet Ozzie! ❤️🎄
Male • 4 yrs old • 37 lbs
Stray since 11/10

Ozzie is a playful, energetic boy who has done wonderfully with every dog he has met. He loves to zoom, explore, and soak up attention — but shelter life has been very hard on him. Ozzie is experiencing high levels of kennel stress and desperately needs a loving adopter or foster to help him decompress and feel safe again.

If you’ve been thinking about opening your heart and home this holiday season, Ozzie is a pup who truly needs you. 💙🐾 Even a temporary foster would make a world of difference.

Let’s get this sweet boy into a warm home for the holidays. 🎁🐾

We asked and you guys delivered!

When we put out the call for Kuranda beds, we never imagined the response we'd get. You all completely blew us away with your generosity. Over 100 cat and dog beds were purchased for us during . That is HUGE!

Seeing these comfortable, sturdy beds filling the kennels is amazing. It makes such a difference in the daily lives of our shelter animals, giving them a cozy, stress free place to rest off the kennel floor. Every single bed represents a moment of peace and comfort you gifted to an animal waiting for their forever home.

A huge thanks goes out to Barb and Velma, the two lovely volunteers who are graciously putting all these Kuranda beds together! That is a massive job, and they are tackling it with smiles and dedication. Thank you to everyone who contributed for making sure our residents are sleeping comfortably tonight!

💥 Available on 12/21/25 💥

This group of dogs came to us from a challenging situation in the community. Their family was facing eviction and was no longer able to care for them, leading their owners to make the difficult decision to surrender them to the shelter.

Since arriving in our care, we've learned that every dog from this home is incredibly sweet and full of personality. And best of all they're small, adorable and absolutely irresistible. Just look at those faces!

As part of their intake care, f***l testing revealed that the dogs have hookworms, which we are currently treating. Two dogs from the group, Frenchie and Cream, have special needs. Both have mild neurological issues that cause some shaking and wobbliness. Our veterinarian has evaluated them and does not believe these issues impact their quality of life.

Once treatment is completed for the hookworms, this adorable crew will be available for adoption on Sunday! We wanted to give you a sneak peak of their cuteness today! If you're interested in making one of these pups part of your family, be sure to arrive early on Sunday! Doors open at noon! ** We will NOT place holds on the dogs on the dogs early. First come first serve!

💔🎄 Home for the Holidays — Ever Needs a Break from the Kennel 🎄💔

Ever is hurting… and it’s breaking our hearts.
This sweet 2-year-old girl is experiencing high levels of kennel stress. The noise, the constant activity, the loneliness—it’s all becoming too much. Ever has started licking the walls consistently, a clear sign that shelter life is overwhelming her. 😔

Ever isn’t a bad dog. She’s not broken.
She’s a loving, sensitive soul who desperately needs a calmer environment—even a foster home could change everything for her. A couch. A routine. A person who sees her.

🐾 Meet Ever: Female | 2 years old | 39 lbs, Dog Friendly, Kid Friendly, Knows sit, Crate trained, Medium–high energy (puppy-like energy), Gets easily stimulated and can be hard to redirect, Takes treats gently, Truly a sweet dog who is just struggling in the kennel

Ever doesn’t need perfection—she needs patience, consistency, and love. A foster home would give her the chance to decompress, reset, and show who she really is outside the shelter walls.
