Everyone, meet Bruder!

Bruder is a 2.5-year-old Great Dane with a heart as big as his paws. He’s a playful, happy-go-lucky sweetheart who instantly lights up every room he enters.

Though Bruder had a rough start in life, his incredible family rescued him and gave him the love he so desperately deserved. His past has left him with a touch of anxiety, but it only adds to his gentle, endearing nature. All Bruder wants is love, cuddles, and to be surrounded by those who adore him.

With his goofy antics and charming quirks, Bruder is one of a kind, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with him. He’s living proof that even the most challenging beginnings can lead to the most beautiful stories!

- 2 tablespoons, honey 🍯
- 2 cups oat flour 🌾

🐶🌿 Groundhog Day at Animal Cottage! 🌿🐶

Looks like we’ve got our own furry forecaster this year! Meet Homey, our 3-month-old Newfoundland pup, who’s making his first Groundhog Day prediction.

After a quick sniff around the yard, Homey has determined… more playtime, extra treats, and unlimited belly rubs for the foreseeable future!

Meanwhile, down in Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog, did see his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter.

With the sun hiding this morning at Animal Cottage, Homey, unfortunately, did NOT get to see his own shadow. Unlike Punxsutawney Phil. Even if the sun were shining, he might have been too busy being the shadow of his brother and housemate, Ole! But whether we’re in for six more weeks of winter or an early spring, one thing’s for sure, Homey is loving every moment at Animal Cottage, and our Pack is loving having him!

Drop a ❤️ if you think Homey is cuter than any groundhog! 🐾

Did you know?

Cats have a fascinating and unique walking pattern that’s shared by only two other animals: camels and giraffes. When a cat walks, it moves both right feet first, followed by both left feet, effectively shifting half of its body forward at a time. This graceful and distinctive gait adds to their elegance and stealth, making them the remarkable creatures we know and love. Isn’t it amazing how nature weaves such unexpected connections between animals?

What are your thoughts?

Max is a beautiful Chesapeake Bay Retriever who just turned 4 years old with the New Year! This is his first time staying with us here at Animal Cottage, and he has been the perfect pup! He gives the sweetest snuggles, he’s so fun and goofy during play, he has amazing manners, and gives us no trouble at all. So, to celebrate Max’s birthday, we wanted to make it as special as we could, so we gave him extra playtime, extra snuggles, and extra special treatment to celebrate his 4th birthday!

Let us introduce Elroy!
Elroy is a 12 year old rat terrier mix with a spunky attitude and sweet personality!
Just this morning, he was running around chasing a tennis ball getting the zoomies. Elroy enjoys his daily walks and hyping up the crowd of dogs getting them to bark, while he struts by all the kennels like he is the man. 🐕
Our staff definitely treats him like he is the man. He gets multiple cuddle sessions and attention throughout the day. His sweet face is enough to fall in love with, but knowing him makes it 10 times sweeter! 🐾

No amount of time is enough with our beloved fur babies. Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you and your families. Thank you for trusting us with the care of your beloved animals. 😇🐾
