We are so incredibly excited to share that Nacho has officially found his forever home, but we wanted to take the time to also remind you about some of our other animals who haven’t had the same luck yet! Like Nala, the delightful 66lb boxer mix with a heart as big as her paws, who found herself at Animal Care Society due to unforeseen circumstances when her beloved owner could no longer care for her. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will greet each day with a wagging tail, a loving gaze, and a heart full of love, then Nala is the perfect match for you. Come meet this special girl at Animal Care Society and discover the joy, laughter, and endless love that she has to offer. Your forever furry friend awaits!

Heartbreaking Update: Remembering Slater 💔

So often, we share the hopeful, exciting, and heartwarming stories that make this work so rewarding. But the truth is, animal rescue is also incredibly hard, and days like today leave us heartbroken.

Despite our best efforts, the best veterinary care, and thousands of dollars in surgery, we are devastated to share that our sweet Slater didn’t make it through his recent operation. Slater had an obstruction and subsequent infection in his bowels, and while we fought as hard as we could to save him, his little body just couldn’t overcome it.

During his time with us, Slater was so deeply loved. Our staff and volunteers made sure his final days were filled with comfort, kindness, and care. He had soft beds, warm meals, gentle hands, and more love than he probably ever imagined.

This is the hard part of rescue—when love isn’t enough to heal them. But we take comfort in knowing that Slater felt the love and compassion of our ACS family in his final days. We’re especially grateful to Maddie & Haleigh, who stayed by Slater’s side as he crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈

Care for animals like Slater is made possible through our Spirit Fund, which provides emergency medical treatment to animals in need. In honor of Slater’s memory, we invite you to make a gift to the Spirit Fund to help us continue this lifesaving work.

Together, we can honor his life by giving other animals a second chance.

🕊 Rest in peace, Slater. You were so loved. 🕊
