Happy Tails, Ryder!

“I saw Southern Pines' post needing fosters for dogs during the cold snap. I immediately knew it was something I wanted to do, especially when I saw Rodney's pictures! I got to foster for a week, and oh my goodness! We went to the veterinarian today, and I had to return him to the shelter today as he was scheduled for his neuter surgery on Monday. I adopted him as soon as the shelter opened today and I love my sweet boy! His name is Ryder now!”-Courtney

It’s our big guy, Cantaloupe! This sweet kitty lives for the simple joys: a soft bed, a peaceful nap, and those head scratches that make him melt. Give him a little love, and he’ll roll right over, fire up the biscuit factory, and peek up at you with those big, round eyes.

Just wait until you hear his meow! So cute that it’s impossible to resist. He’ll talk to you any time he’s hoping for attention or a good meal. 😂

If you’re searching for a mellow companion, Cantaloupe would love to loaf on your couch and call you his person. 🍈

This Giving Tuesday, your support can make a difference for vulnerable pets like River. This tiny pup arrived at our shelter last week with a severely fractured leg, but even in pain, she’s got the biggest heart–just overflowing with cuddles and kisses for anyone who shows her love.

River will need surgery to start her journey toward healing, and she’s just one of the many pets who come through our doors every day needing care, comfort, and a second chance.

Your support this Giving Tuesday can give River, and pets like her, the medical care, snuggles, and hope they need to thrive. Every donation helps to create second chances for pets in desperate need of hope and healing.

“Apple Butter is nothing short of cuddles, chaos, and endless love.”

From one itty bitty bean in need to a thriving, beloved companion, Apple Butter’s journey began with the safety, care, and comfort she found at Southern Pines. Her second chance started the day she came into our care, and every step that followed was made possible by people who believe that every pet deserves that chance.

Create more happy new beginnings, just like Apple Butter’s, by helping us reach our $5,000 Giving Tuesday goal for pets in need. Please consider making a gift today via the link in our comments.

Giving Tuesday is all about the power of a single act of compassion—one gift, one choice, one moment that can change everything for a pet in need. Every year, we’re reminded that second chances start small, often with something as simple as a photo, a pause, or a person willing to say, “Yes. I can help.”

For BooBear’s family, it was his picture on the Southern Pines website that stopped them in their tracks. “We immediately hopped in the car to go meet him. It was love at first sight. He is the absolute best dog, and we couldn’t imagine our lives without him.”

From day one, BooBear’s journey was supported by Southern Pines. When his family left the shelter with him, they were given more than adoption papers, they received the resources needed to help ease his transition into their home. From his own app profile with reminders about vaccines to helpful tips for any bumps along the way, every detail reminded them that BooBear’s wellbeing came first.

Today, BooBear is thriving. He lounges around the farm, gives the chickens “rides” back to the coop, and snuggles up with the cats on the porch. When there are new babies on the farm, BooBear is the first to arrive, watching over them with a tenderness that makes his family laugh: “We joke that he desperately wants to be a mom.”

But BooBear’s story is more than sweet moments on the farm, it’s also about care, resilience, and community. When BooBear needed heartworm treatment, his family and the Southern Pines Healthy Pet Clinic stood by his side every step of the way. When he tested negative, it was a proud moment for him and his family.

His family shared, “It was obvious from the first time we went to Southern Pines Animal Shelter that the animals were the first priority, and that’s why we continue to bring all of our pets to the Healthy Pet Clinic.”

Giving Tuesday is our reminder that second chances aren’t created by one person. Rather, they’re built by a community that chooses compassion again and again. Today, we’re hoping to raise $5,000 to support the shelter and clinic working hand in hand to help more pets like BooBear find health, healing, and home. Will you partner with us once again to give more pets second chances?

Please consider making a gift today to help more pets just like BooBear via the link in the comments.

Your generosity will directly impact the lives of countless pets just like BooBear, giving them the chance for a brighter future filled with love and care.

Chanel de Bleu’s second chance began the way many extraordinary things do, quietly, almost invisibly—a homeless and hurting pup desperately in need of someone to recognize the diamond sparkling beneath the rough exterior.

As soon as she entered our care, it became evident that to know her is to love her. Though she may look a little crusty around the edges, Chanel exudes a sweetness that quickly won over our entire shelter team. We quickly discovered that Chanel adores calm pets, warm baths, and any big stuffed animal she can curl up against. She loves treats with her whole soul, especially her “med ball,” and despite being timid, she sits politely (with great enthusiasm) for anyone who offers one.

Staff said it best on her kennel card: “Chanel just needs a little extra TLC to shine her brightest.” And as she began to receive the care and love she needed, shine she did.

𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫. Our Healthy Pet Clinic helped to support her through demodex treatment and her spay surgery, while her foster family gave her the warmth, patience, and companionship she’d been missing. And with every soft moment she was offered, healing found her.

Her foster, Marge, captured her spirit perfectly: “She is the biggest sweetie, finding a friend in everyone and every dog. She loves to watch TV, cuddle, and run around the yard. She even got my dog to play, something no foster has ever done. Chanel forgives easily, loves deeply, and will follow you everywhere, even when you try to use the bathroom.”

And we’re so happy to let you know that Chanel has started her happiest chapter yet: as of last week, she has been adopted into a loving family of her very own.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡, 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬. It took a shelter, a clinic, a foster, and a supportive community to rewrite Chanel’s story, giving her the brighter future and the new beginning she deserves.

Every second chance begins with you. Will you make a one-time gift or commit to a monthly donation today to give the gift of hope this Giving Tuesday? 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐮𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.

Giving Tuesday is a day built on the belief that compassion creates change, and at Southern Pines, we see that truth every day in every second chance.

Tiny Bucket was just a few days old when she was found in a bucket, and thanks to care from our shelter, clinic, and foster community, she’s now a playful, thriving kitten ready for adoption and the next chapter of her life.

You don’t have to wait until tomorrow to make a difference. You can help us get a head start on our $5,000 Giving Tuesday goal right now. Together, we can open the door to more stories like Bucket’s and give more pets the care, love, and second chances they deserve: https://loom.ly/QE65hZQ

And be sure to join us tomorrow for more uplifting stories of more pets, like Bucket, whose lives are being transformed through love, care, and the second chances that you help create.

Plumber spent the Thanksgiving holiday soaking up love in a foster home. This sweet girl helped her foster family get ready for the big day, enjoyed a special frozen Kong treat after, and made herself right at home with the kids. Plumber is gentle and sweet with the kids, enjoys playing with toys, taking naps, and following her foster mom around during chores. “She loves to run, jump, and play in the back yard, and makes our middle aged dogs get some much needed exercise! I love watching her run--it is pure joy!”

Her foster mom, Julie, said she’s been a star student, too! She’s housetrained, sleeps through the night in her crate, and is learning “come,” “sit,” and “down.” If you’re looking for a sweet, playful girl who blossoms more every day, Plumber is ready to meet you. Email [email protected] to meet Plumber!
