UPDATE: Adopted!

Trick or treat, smell my beans! Ain’t I cute💙

My name is Booberry, I am a wee baby boy that arrived at this place today, these girls are wanting me to leave TODAY. That way I won’t get sick. Plus I am adorable so I personally don’t see why that won’t happen today!

I am 8 weeks old and a bundle of exciting joy. I want to cuddle up to you and watch Halloween movies with you🥹 Please come get me💙

You can stop by the shelter between 10am - 5pm today to start the adoption process!

I really need out of here today! Pleaseeeee!

I don’t have two siblings who are already spoken for so please come get me so that I won’t be alone today😢😢

Happy happy adoption day Lightning!💙💙 This was a very special adoption as lighting was the last available puppy of his litter. He was so thankful that he fell asleep before walking out of the door! Thank you guys so much for adopting from us! We are so excited to hear about this little bug’s journey.

Happy Tails Lightning⭐️💙

👋🏼 Hey!

We will be doing Appointments only TOMORROW (8/28/24, Thursday) due to lack of staff. Tomorrow is our “vet day” with only two girlies scheduled. One of them will be in and out of the shelter most of the day tomorrow. Leaving only one person here to care for the animals, clean, answer phones, and help with adoptions. Please be patient with us during this short staffed time frame. We are in the process of getting more people so bare with us!

Thank you all so much for all the things you do for us! We love our community💙💙

🫧 🫧🫧 Bubbles and Suds 🫧🫧🫧

This sister and brother duo are now learning that humans can be trained super easy. Two meals a day, a clean litter box twice a day, and lots of rubs (on their terms of course!)
Although these are a little shy, they don’t quite earn the 🌶️ spicy 🌶️ award. We think they will make cuddly furballs with love and time.
At 6 weeks old these babies are hoping to escape the shelter before long! Could you be interested in opening your heart ❤️ and home 🏡 to show some love 🫶🏼 to four paws 🐾 🐾 and a tail?

Poor Grasshopper. With us for too long and still wondering when he will find his forever home. He got to escape for a bit at a volunteer run, but now he wants a NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE again home. 🫤

He is 2 year old beagle mix. He is neutered. He is heartworm negative. He likes dogs. He likes humans. He likes aliens. But we aren’t sure if he is a Trump or a Harris fan? We may have heard him tell a volunteer he is voting for Snoop Dogg so 🤔, maybe that’s an option?!🎤💙

Anyhow, he is begging for someone to ask him???

Go head!! Ask him! 📣
P.S. He wants you to ask him for a meet and greet!

He doesn’t want to get the title of “longest resident”. That’s not a good ranking to have in a shelter!

These cute puppies like to play and are a little feisty but they sure wish they were in their own home instead of here at the shelter. Please consider adoption.

Black Beans is a senior lady who was brought to us after being determined a “falls risk” for her elderly owner. She is just lost here in the shelter and wants to be back in a home. We are sure that there is someone out there that could help feel the void in her heart 💔❤️‍🩹

Please take a look at Linnea. 3 month female. Just wanting love and attention. Please help us find her an adopter.

Porcelain. Hopes to bring a smile to you today.
