We are SO excited . . .

We've got all sorts of amazing crafters and vendors coming! If you want to stop by just to shop, you can do that, too! You just won't get our amazing freebie gift bag unless you register for the event while you're here!

🎉Congrats to this weeks cat adoptions 🎉

🐱Pretzel was adopted this past week and has added the fun and excitement to the home that her family was looking for! She is a very lucky girl and is getting lots of snuggles!!!

🐱🐱Mushroom and Pepperoni were adopted together this week! They entered a house with several kiddos and are enjoying all of the playtime! Pepperoni walked in like she owned the house while Mushroom is taking a little more time to adjust but we are thrilled they are together to help with that adjustment.

🎉Congrats to all🎉

🍁Foster or Foster to adopt home needed!🍁

Everyone welcome our newest little lady needing a little love and TLC. Gabby is a female ~2-3 yr, 7 # Maltese mix with a gentle spirit and playful demeanor. This little cutie is nervous, but very sweet once given a chance to settle in. She seemed to do well with like sized dogs in her previous foster home and she loves to play. Gabby is doing well with pottying outside, but may need some reminders once in a new home until she gets acclimated to the new environment.

This little girl has been put through a lot in the past month after being surrendered to a busy rural shelter, transported to NY and placed in to boarding until a foster home could be found. She would like nothing more then finding a home of her own where she can be loved, spoiled and finally have a chance at a new forever. She has been examined, vaccinated, spayed, 4dx tested and treated for internal and external parasites. Gabby is ready to go to a foster or foster to adopt home!

What are we looking for in a foster family? Not forever. Not fancy. Just a couch, some patience, and the ability to open your heart (and your snack drawer) to a four legged friend.

What comes along with fostering?
✔️A wet nose
✔️An excuse to leave gatherings/parties/sporting events early to get some puppy cuddles
✔️Endless puppy kisses (and occasional wet, slobbered on shoes)
✔️A foster pet that thinks you're the best thing since sliced bologna
✔️Foster cred for saving a life

If you can commit to loving them, teaching them then letting them go to a forever home (or adopting them yourself), we sure could use you right now! (and it helps to save a life!)

Whether you want a puppy, adult dog or senior, we likely have something you are looking for (or soon will get it!)

Due to her size, activity levels and age, foster to adopt requirements are:

🍁Living within 80 miles of Adams, NY.
🍁Having previous/current pets in annually at a local veterinary office and up to date on vaccines as well as spay/neutered.
🍁Being able to bring her back to our vets office in Adams for additional care if needed prior to adoption. After adoption, we recommend taking her to your current vet to be established.
🍁Gabby is very shy at first so homes with older children, if any, are being recommended.
🍁 Gabby did well with like sized dogs in her foster home but we will do a meet and greet prior to letting her go with other dogs in the home to be sure there are no problems.
🍁Willing to have current family members come to a meet and greet to meet the pet and be sure an acceptable match.
🍁Having time available to care for, socialize and start the training of a new pet.
🍁An adoption donation of $450 is being asked for Gabby, if you choose to adopt, but fostering is free. She had her initial vet check, is current on vaccines, dewormings and prescription flea and tick medications and has been spayed.

The first step in our adoption process is the veterinary reference check so please be sure to call your veterinarian's office first thing in the morning so we can get this step out of the way.

Please help us to continue helping those that knock on our doors!

🌹🌹foster to adopt home found!🌹🌹

Everyone meet little miss Lana. This 4.5 year old, 9 # Miniature Dachshund is a retired breeding dog that has already had several litters. She came from a home with several other like sized dogs but not a lot of human interaction. We've taken the past week to get to know her a bit better and it is pretty obvious that she needs a special kind of home.

Lana was used to using a doggy door in her previous home and doesn't really have experience leash walking. She had a country home so she didn't get any experience being walked through a city or even neighborhoods. Currently, when she goes outside, she will just sit and ask to be picked up rather than enjoy the comforts of a walk. She is fearful of the unfamiliar noises that she is experiencing and may try to get away if startled so a fenced yard in a potential new home is recommended.

Since there were several other likesized dogs in her previous home, she will likely do well in a home with other dogs
and possibly cats as well, but young children and a lot of visitors in the home may be too much for her.

The sweet girl has paid her dues in life already and would really just like to find a forever home where she can relax, settle in, kick up her feet and learn what being a beloved family pet is all about. Can you be her person?

Due to her size and temperament, foster to adopt requirements are:

🌹Living within 80 miles of Adams, NY.
🌹Having previous/current pets in annually at a local veterinary office and up to date on vaccines as well as spay/neutered.
🌹Being able to bring her back to our vets office in Adams for additional care and her spay prior to adoption. After adoption, we recommend taking her to your current vet to be established.
🌹Since she is very shy, a home with older children and not a lot of visitors would be best.
🌹 She came from a home that had other dogs so she should be okay with like sized dogs but we will do meet and greets with other dogs in the home to be sure there are no problems.
🌹Willing to have current family members come to a meet and greet to meet the pet and be sure an acceptable match.
🌹Having time available to care for, socialize and start the training of a new pet.
🌹Due to her fearfulness, a fenced yard will be required to foster or foster to adopt to keep Lana safe in a new environment.
🌹An adoption donation of $450 is being asked, if you choose to adopt, but fostering is free. She had her initial vet check, is current on vaccines, dewormings and prescription flea and tick medications and will be spayed and have a dental cleaning prior to adoption.

The first step in our adoption process is the veterinary reference check so please be sure to call your veterinarian's office first thing in the morning so we can get this step out of the way.
