We will be closed on Thursday, November 28th for the Thanksgiving holiday so our staff can spend time with their families and friends.

For the next 2 days many of our animals are getting picked up as we are giving our shelter animals the chance to spend the holiday in a loving home. 🏡💖 If you'd like to help by fostering an animal for the holiday, stop by and choose your furry guest! It’s the perfect time to give them a break from the shelter and show them the warmth of a family.

Let's make this Thanksgiving extra special for these animals! 🌟

For more details, you can come by the shelter from 12 - 4pm or email us at [email protected].

🐾 Sniffs is Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾

We have an update on Sniffs, the brave kitty with Microphthalmia! When another shelter heard about his condition, they knew we would never turn our backs on a kitty in need. So, they reached out to us for help—and we’re so glad they did. 💖

Sniffs spent some time in foster care, where he gained enough weight to undergo surgery to remove his eye and have it sutured shut. The procedure was a success, and now Sniffs is happy, healthy, and officially ADOPTABLE! 🎉

This sweet boy has shown incredible resilience, and he’s ready to find a loving home where he can thrive. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion, Sniffs is waiting to meet you. 🏡✨

👋 Just Popping On Your Feed to See If I Can Help You! 🐾
Paco is a 3-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing only 7 pounds When Paco first arrived, he was super shy and uncertain. But with time and lots of love from our amazing staff, he’s been learning to trust again. It’s always so rewarding to see an animal like Paco start to come around and realize that we’re here to help. 💖
Paco is still a little shy, but with patience and love, he’s ready to find his forever family. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who just needs a little time to blossom, Paco might be the perfect match for you! 🌟
