So we have some VERY BIG and VERY EXCITING news to share. After 418 days in the shelter, Timber, now Goose, was adopted into his new forever home!!!! We want to thank everyone who shared Timber's story, especially the Denton Animal Support Foundation and Maria Fonseca. It was a combination of posts that Timber's new family saw and responded to.

We want to give an extra special thank you to Kate Juliao, one of our amazing volunteers, who spent over two hours on the weekend, allowing Timber to meet his new family and ultimately get adopted!

We have a new pup up for adoption, but she doesn't have a name. So we thought, what better way to give her a name than to let the community pick? Comment with your choice of name below, and if your name is already there, hit that like button. The name with the most likes by the end of the week will be her new name. https://tx-highlandvillage.civicplus.com/795/Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet

Meet Timber: the most patient, sweet boy waiting for his forever home at the Highland Village Animal Shelter. Timber is a three-year-old lab-pit mix with a medium-energy level, perfect for someone looking for an adventure buddy who also enjoys cuddle time. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines.

Timber loves walks and playing fetch, chasing toys, chest rubs, hugs, and chew sticks, and would do best in a single dog home with no cats. While Timber may be a little wary of new people at first, give him a chance, and you will have a best friend for life. Timber is one amazing dog and an absolute favorite among our volunteers.

If you're ready to give this deserving boy a chance at a better life, contact Wes at 469-444-0915. https://tx-highlandvillage.civicplus.com/795/Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet

It is with a heavy heart that we have some sad news to share with everyone. Buttercup went in yesterday morning to be spayed due to a suspected pyometra at our veterinarian's recommendation and unfortunately, crossed the rainbow bridge on the surgery table. Medical staff determinedly attempted lifesaving procedures including CPR but Buttercup never woke up. We are immensely grateful to everyone who shared her story and worked so hard to help her find a forever home. Buttercup was deeply loved and will be sorely missed.

Please take a moment to hug your pets or loved ones a little tighter today, as life is precious, and moments like this remind us how important it is to cherish every one of them.
