We just caught Jerry trying to start his own OnlyFans in one of the isolation kennels in the very back. He even had his scarf off!! 😳 When we asked what the deal was he said it’s because he’s panicking about being so low on high quality cat food. He’s worried about losing his round figure. Jerry and his friends would be elated for donations of Purina quality or better cat and kitten food!! We have two pregnant moms that came in that need kitten food to get their unborn babies and themselves all of the extra nutrients they can get as they were from less than ideal conditions to start with. Anything off of our Chewy or Amazon wish lists would be great. You can even order online from Pet Supplies Plus - Fort Dodge, IA and make a note in the memo that it’s for us, and they will hold it for us! Thanks for caring about our kitties and making sure Jerry doesn’t go down a road that could lead to other things. 😏

We’ve decided that we will be keeping our doors locked today as our schedules are pretty crazy for moving animals around to vets and picking up new ones along with this INSANE cold!! If you can stay home and snuggle with your babies do that today otherwise stay safe and warm out there and please PLEASE don’t leave your pets outside for longer than necessary!!

Molly has had some great apps for her but the only down side has been that the perfect homes for her have all had cats. Shoot!! She’s been hanging out at Algona’s newest boarding facility, The Dog House, along with a couple of our other good girls also! Don’t worry though, the shelter animals are away from the regular boarders!! They decided to start an awesome program where businesses and/or people could sponsor kennels for shelter dogs at $450 a month to help us be able to keep trying our hardest to intake when we’re in a pinch! We will do a full story on all of this in the near future, but if you think you have a good home for this lady who has been having a blast with our other shelter sweetheart, Caroline, up there fill out at app!! If you would be willing to sponsor or partially sponsor a kennel let us know that too! With a little extra effort and some creativity and working together, we can all move mountains for these sweethearts!! Now let’s get this lady home!! She’s far too perfect to be sitting in a kennel and not on a couch!!

This!!!!

*****As of right now we are full for spays! We do have a few more openings for neuters! *****

Keep a look out for another spay/neuter clinic in the near future

If you want to spay or neuter your outdoor cats we have a deal for you! Friday February 28th we will be doing a spay and neuter clinic (for cats only)! These cats can be named anything but what better name than to name them after your EX! 😂 each cat will be ear notched (non-negotiable) to help identify them if they were to be brought in as a stray! Limited spots are available, so if you have one or five call to reserve your spot.

We’re proud to partner with Almost Home to give pets like him the care they need. Wishing him all the best in finding a loving home soon!

Unfortunately with changes that Facebook has made recently with things they now seem to be allowing, our messenger is being flooded daily by spam accounts sending us fear mongering junk. The comment sections are also extremely hard to moderate for the spammers as we don’t have time to go through every single comment under every post. We also don’t get notifications for every comment made or message sent so this means we have to actually go under the posts when we get a free minute (which is hardly ever honestly) to even see them. We do try really hard to go into messages to check them as often as we can, but please understand that even when we are not actively at the shelter itself we are still working behind the scenes on many other things so there may be long periods of time that we don’t get to check messages. There are also times that messages just simply get buried by other messages and now these spammers are not making things any easier. If you don’t hear from us within a day, please message again so it sends it to the top of our inbox. Also, if you happen to see one of the fake profiles in the comment section trying to get people to friend request them or click on links they post in the comments please report those profiles to Facebook and NEVER click on their links!! We have a website being built right now, so that should help a lot with other ways to get information to and from us very soon! Thank you for your help and understanding! Crazy times we’re living in!! Take care of yourselves and each other and smooch your pets for us! ❤️ We appreciate you all so very much!!

The boys are celebrating the good news!! Dave is cancer free!!! The results came back showing that an old untreated injury resulted in chronic infection that really did some painful damage to his big piggy (that’s a toe for all of you who never called your toes piggies). Now he can’t count as high as he used to, but at least he’s pain free!! AAAAND they have a meet and greet with one of our previous adopters to ✨ HOPEFULLY ✨ become Gaga’s brothers!!! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!! The photo opportunities are endless!!! They don’t know but if it all works out we might add into the adoption contract that they need to dress themselves and the dogs all up in matching outfits, and do a family pic 🤫 Juuuuust kiddiiiiiing, but that would be pretty great! It looks funny in my head at least! Thank you to those who donated to help us pay for his vet bill!! Our vet bills have been pretty wild lately with all of the situations we’ve had roll through the door recently, so every little bit helps 🥰

We just wanted to give a massive THANK YOU to Humboldt County Pheasants Forever for choosing us this year for their 22 raffle during their coyote hunt! Each year they choose a local organization or group to support to give back to the community, and we are so fortunate to have such a generous and supportive group of people among us! In the past they’ve donated high calorie ProPlan dog food which came in really handy when we needed to throw some weight on some skinny dogs. They also know how smart those working breeds are, and we love seeing them out doing their jobs and living happy lives with their human buddies!! Thanks for supporting us!! We appreciate you guys!!

Sometimes we walk in on Jerry contemplating his life choices and questioning reality even. We thought we heard whispering about a bad Valentine’s date behind the washer and dryer or something, but then when we asked what he was saying he refused to talk again. Like do we need to call a professional oooooor???
