🥧 REALLY SWEET. A LITTLE NUTTY. TOTALLY IRRESISTIBLE. 🥧
Happy National Pecan Pie Day, y’all — and who better to celebrate than our very own slice of heaven: Reggie!

Reggie rolled into our shelter a little cracked and crumbly, like a pie that hit a pothole. But with some TLC, vet care, and a whole lot of love, this boy is baking up just right. Now he’s golden, gooey-hearted, and ready to be your main course of happiness. 🐾

A few notes from the recipe card:
✨ One part cuddly, one part calm
✨ Sprinkled with sweetness
✨ Served best with cozy blankets and kind humans
✨ Pairs well with dogs, love, and lazy afternoons

He may have been through the wringer, but Reggie’s still got the softest soul and the warmest eyes. He’s the kind of dog who’ll fill your heart (and home) with comfort — no whipped cream needed.

🥧 Ready to add a little Reggie to your recipe for happiness? Come meet this sweet boy and take home your perfect slice.

Sup, legends? Name’s Lennox and I’m a 1-year-old certified stud muffin lookin’ for my forever frat house. I’m talkin’ all vibes, no drama, and 100% ride-or-die energy. I'm a bro-fessional shotgun seat wingman!

I love:
🍗 Snacks (will do questionable things for a chicken nugget)
🐕 Other dawgs (we throw paws, but only in play)
🧍‍♂️People (especially the ones who tell me I’m handsome — which, duh, I am)

I don’t do toxic energy. I DO:
✅ Run full speed like I’m late for intramural flag football
✅ Cuddle like I just got dumped (even though I didn’t—I dumped them)
✅ Bring that main-character energy to every walk, hang, and bathroom break

Adopting me is basically like getting a frat bro who won’t borrow your hoodie and ghost you — I’m loyal, hype, and always down for a backyard bash or a nap in the sun.

So if you’ve got a couch, some snacks, and an open heart, LET’S GOOOOOOO 🐶💪

📍Currently chillin’ at the shelter but ready to RUSH HOME with YOU.

*ADOPTED!!!*

🍃 Happy National Mojito Day from your future bestie — Wrangler! 🐾

Just like a mojito, Wrangler is the perfect mix of cool, refreshing, and a little zesty! With his merle coat that’s as swirled and stunning as mint in a glass, Wrangler’s ready to be your chill companion for every adventure life stirs up. 🐶💚

He’s got a heart as big as his ears and a love for sunshine, belly rubs, and living life off the rocks (aka, no more shelter life, please!). 🍹☀️

If you’re looking for a loyal pup with a splash of spirit and a whole lot of love — Wrangler’s your guy. Come meet him today and toast to new beginnings!

🚨WARNING: CAT WITH ATTITUDE🚨
Meet Lyla – 10 lbs of fury, fluff, and fabulousness.

Do you like your pets with a little ✨spite✨ and a dash of ✨emotional damage✨?
Well, buckle up, because Lyla’s not here to be your emotional support animal—she's here to rule your life and then ignore you for hours.

💅 She hates:
– Other animals (ew)
– Children (double ew)
– Being told what to do
– Sharing the spotlight
– Eye contact she didn’t initiate

💘 She tolerates:
– You, maybe, if you bring offerings of treats and eat scritches and shut up about it

Lyla is giving strong "I’m not mad, I’m just not emotionally available" vibes.

She doesn’t want to “learn to get along.” She wants to live alone, dramatically, like a 1920s screen siren who fake coughs and says things like “leave me… I’m too beautiful to suffer.”

If you’ve ever been described as “too much” by your ex or “a lot” by your coworkers, congratulations—you might be Lyla’s soulmate.

🏡 Must be: – Pet-free
– Kid-free
– Emotionally stable enough to handle being judged by a cat 24/7

📍Now accepting applications for Lyla’s humble servant. You will be interviewed (by her stare).

These 2 were found on Bemis Lane last night and would like to go home. The brown one has a slight limp, but they appear healthy and cared for. Must prove ownership to claim.

***ADOPTED!***

Bruno is scared.
Not of you. Not of love.
Just... of everything right now.

This sweet 3-year-old Chihuahua has been through more than we’ll ever fully know. His world has been loud when it should’ve been gentle, uncertain when he needed stability. So Bruno learned to be small—not just in size, but in spirit.

But we see him.

Behind the nervous glances and cautious steps, there’s a dog who wants to feel safe. Who wants to be held, to trust, to just be. He just needs someone to show him how.

Bruno doesn’t need grand gestures. He needs quiet mornings. Soft hands. Someone who will sit on the floor and let him come close on his own terms. Someone who understands that healing takes time and that tiny victories—like a tail twitch or a slow blink—are worth celebrating.

He may never be the life of the party. But he’ll be your shadow, your silent cheerleader, your little heartbeat curled at your side once he knows he’s finally home.

Bruno is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can let his guard down and just be loved.

If you have the heart and the patience to help a scared little soul feel safe again… Bruno is waiting for you.

🐶 Let’s help him believe in people again.

🎉 Meet Canyon: Lover of Dogs, Hater of Chaos (aka Kids) 🎉

Look, Canyon isn’t asking for much—just a life full of tail wags, squeaky toys, doggy BFFs, and zero tiny humans sticky with fruit snacks.

🐶 Dog social? Heck yes. Canyon is the life of the pup party. He’s ready to romp, wrestle, and organize the neighborhood sniff circle.
🧒 Kid friendly? That’s a no from him, dawg. He said what he said.
👑 Vibe? Think golden retriever energy in a scruffy hipster package.

Canyon’s ideal home has:
✔️ At least one other cool canine to hang with
✔️ Adults who appreciate a good nap after a bark-filled play session
✔️ A strict “no children, no thank you” policy
✔️ Snacks. Obviously.

He’s a good boy. A very good boy. Just not a babysitter, and he’s not afraid to let you know.

So if you’re kid-free, dog-positive, and in need of a scruffy sidekick with opinions, Canyon’s your guy.

📍Currently accepting applications from dog parents, not human ones.
🎾 Now available at the Jackson Animal Care Center

***ADOPTED!***

✨ Wanted: One Loyal Servant ✨
Name: Jingle Bell (but she’s cool with "Your Majesty")
Age: 3-4 years (aka purrfectly seasoned)
Attitude: Unbothered. Moisturized. In her lane. Thriving.

Meet your new boss — a distinguished lady with resting queen face and zero tolerance for nonsense. She's survived the drama, the vet visits, and probably at least one dog. At this point, she’s not here for chaos — just sunshine naps, slow blinks, and the occasional gourmet treat.

She may not be a tiny kitten, but honey, she’s still got enough sass to run your whole household. If you’re looking for a cuddly pushover… keep scrolling. But if you’re ready to worship at the tiny toe beans of greatness, she might let you join her inner circle.

📣 CALLUM
6 months old. Full-time good boy. Part-time aspiring podcast host.

If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who looks like he owns a kombucha home brew kit and unironically says "I liked walks before they were mainstream"—look no further.

🕶️ Loves people (especially the kind who talk about their favorite coffee roasts)
📼 Thinks other dogs are rad — but only if they’ve seen at least one Wes Anderson film
🎤 Wants his own podcast — it’s 90% bark, 10% existential rambling about squirrels

He’s got indie band energy, soft-boy charm, and the zoomies of a dog who’s just heard vinyl for the first time.

Adopt Callum if:
✨ You enjoy thrifting for outfits your dog can match
✨ You’re ready for long walks followed by deep conversations about grass
✨ You believe every good dog deserves a platform

This is your sign. Callum is ready to be the co-host of your life. 🎙️🐾

📢 ATTENTION, WORLD! Winslet has entered the chat… and your life will never be the same.

Meet Winslet—part dog, part rocket, all heart. 💥🐾
She’s got the zoomies, the moves, and the looks. Honestly, she’s like if a triple shot of espresso grew legs and a wagging tail.

Forget dating profiles—Winslet comes with her own hype reel:
🎤 Loves outdoor adventures
🎾 Has a black belt in fetch
🐶 Makes instant friends with dogs
👧👦 Kid-certified for fun
🏃‍♀️ Built-in personal trainer (whether you asked or not)

She’s playful, she’s energetic, and she’s always down to party (the dog park kind, not the disco kind—but honestly, she'd rock both). This girl doesn’t just walk into a room—she bounds in, tail wagging, ready to turn every moment into a memory.

So if your home is missing a little chaos, a lot of laughter, and a four-legged best friend who thinks you hung the moon...

Adopt Winslet—because boring lives are for people without her. 💗
