🪻🩷Meet Bella: Your Sweet, Cuddly Companion🪻🩷

Hi, my name is Bella and I'm ready to find my furrever home. Here are a few things you should know about me:

I love to play, take leisurely strolls, and give kisses. I also enjoy cuddling on your lap and getting pets.

Imagine trying to enjoy your dinner with seven hungry pups eyeballing the same food. Not fun! Now that I'm on my own, I'm still working on not guarding my food like it's the last piece of pizza at a party. I've gotten a lot better, but I still need some understanding and patience.

While I do well with other dogs my size, I'd really prefer to be the only dog in the home. I want all the belly rubs to myself!

I need to go to an adult-only home because children don't always understand boundaries (and my boundaries are very important to me).

I would love a home where I can feel safe and cherished. Are you able to provide that for me? I can’t wait to meet you!

You can fill out my Pre-Adoption Questionnaire here: https://www.companionsanimalcenter.org/adoption-process

07/30/2024

It's time for Tail Wags Tuesday! This week, we have nine adorable furballs eagerly waiting for their humans to find them.

In celebration of International Day of Friendship, remember that some of our best friends have fur, whiskers, cold noses, and fluffy tails. 🐾❤️

✨Meet Mama Honey and Her Pup, Nilla!✨

🐾🌷 Next up? Sweet baby girl Nilla! 🌷🐾

I'll need hoomans who have patience, can challenge me mentally, and give me lots of playtime! I have puppy energy, so daily exercise is a must!

NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY 🍦
Dish or cone? That's all we need to know. It's National Ice Cream Day!

This sweet national holiday takes place every third Sunday in July. It's all thanks to President Ronald Reagan, who signed a proclamation 40 years ago, partly due to his love of the frozen delight.

America's love for ice cream has stayed true for more than four decades as 97% of people in the U.S. "love" or "like" ice cream, according to the International Dairy Foods Association.

Top flavors? Vanilla takes the crown among Americans. Chocolate, strawberry, butter pecan, and cookie dough round out the top 5, according to the association.

What flavor will you have today?🍦

Not to worry, we'll be on the grass in the shade, with doggie pools and an extra tent for even more protection from the heat and sun thanks to A and A Coffee Co! How cool is that (see what we did there)?! We'll make sure Dakota and Rosie stay refreshed and comfortable.

The future of Companions Animal Center is in good hands because of people like Makena, pictured here with Gizmo, a 14-year-old Pom who is looking for a forever home. Makena, is a student at Wired2Learn Academy. She made dog beds and treats and sold them to raise $1,000 to care for the animals at CAC! We are so honored to have her as part of the CAC family. A big "Woof!" to Makena and the Academy for their love of animals. Thank you!
