🏆 Happiest dog on the planet goes to...............HAZEL 💗

We currently have over 40 dogs available for adoption......but half of those have been here for over 30 days 😔

❤ Good news: Pets that have been in our care for over 30 days are FEE WAIVED. $0 adoption fee for a furry companion! (pictured below)
😧Bad news: When our kennels are full- pets that have been here over 30 days with no interest are considered for humane euthanasia.

Maintaining our No-Kill status is a community effort. Let's get these guys a HOME! We are open M-F 8am-4:30pm and Saturday 12-2pm

Brownie: half Shar-pei, half merman 🧜‍♂️ 🐾

Brownie has been adopted and returned to our shelter a total of 3 times:
1. Adopter was sick
2. Adopter found out her boyfriend has allergies
3. Adopter realized they couldn’t afford to care for him

Are any of these reasons Brownie’s fault? 😕

No. Because Brownie is amazing- loves cats, kids, and housebroken.

Let’s get Brownie a FOREVER home 🏠. Please share!! More info on Brownie: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/b95edf3d-1e69-4f71-8892-69b2f1fa873e?tracking=5972ce79-63db-48e2-b69e-021c2f01a602

Making plans for Thanksgiving? 🦃

You should include a shelter pet! Not only are they the perfect conversation piece (if Uncle George brings up politics ONE MORE TIME 🧐)- but they can help vacuum your floors if anything falls from the table 😋
