🌟 A Huge Thank You! 🌟

We want to give a big shoutout to the MNHHS Cross Country Team and Coach Evans for volunteering at the shelter today! 🐾 Coach Evans, along with 9 incredible team members, managed to walk all of our adult dogs in just two hours—absolutely amazing! 🐕✨

The dogs were thrilled to enjoy some fresh air and stretch their legs on this beautiful day. ❤️

If you have a group that would love to make a difference and spend a couple of hours with our shelter animals, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out if you have a group that would like to get involved.

Together, we can make tails wag and hearts happy! 🐶💕

Meet DOC!
Doc is a 5-month-old mix who was owner-surrendered at the beginning of November. This sweet little guy currently weighs around 20 lbs and is learning to walk on a leash.

Doc is great with children and other dogs. When introduced to cats in the cat room, he was not interested, but his previous owner stated he went after their cat, we would recommend a home without a cat. He’s a friendly, adaptable pup who’s ready to find his forever home.

His adoption fee is just $50, which covers his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations.

If you’re interested in meeting this adorable pup, contact the shelter at 270-821-8965 to schedule your meet-and-greet.

🐾 Meet Ranger!🐾

Ranger is a 3-year-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find the right home for his unique needs. This 66 lb. big guy was owner-surrendered and is bringing along a little baggage, but with the right environment, he has the potential to thrive!

🐶 What you need to know about Ranger:
- Adult-only home: He’ll do best in a household with no children.
- Solo pet status: Ranger needs to be the only pet in the home due to resource guarding with food.
- Heartworm positive: Ranger’s new family will need to consult their veterinarian to determine the best treatment plan for his condition.

Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, and thrive with structured leadership—so if you have a big heart and the ability to provide Ranger with the care and patience he needs, please reach out!

Call the shelter at 270-821-8965 to schedule a meet-and-greet and see if you’re the perfect match for this handsome boy. 🏡✨

- With patience and training, he’ll be able to master leash skills and thrive in a loving home.
- Blaze is ready to bond with someone who will help him grow into the confident dog he’s meant to be.

Looking for a little extra magic under (or maybe *in*) your Christmas tree this year? Meet Pandora, a stunning 8-month-old tri-color beauty who was owner-surrendered in September.

If you’re ready to give Pandora the purr-fect home this holiday season, call the shelter at 270-821-8965 to schedule your meet-and-greet. Let’s make her Christmas wish come true! 🎁❤️🐾

🌟 Meet Vesta! 🌟

This sweet orange-and-white gentleman has been waiting for his forever home since August and is growing up right here at the shelter. At just 7 months old and weighing around 5 lbs., Vesta is full of love and potential—but a shelter is no place for a kitten to grow up.

Vesta is ready to find a family to call his own, where he can play, explore, and snuggle to his heart's content. Could that be with you?

If you’re interested in meeting this adorable little guy, call the shelter at 270-821-8965 to schedule a visit. Let’s make sure Vesta’s next chapter is written in a loving home! ❤️🐾

🌟Meet Valkyrie – A Stunning Husky Ready for Her Next Chapter 🌟

This is Valkyrie, a 2-year-and-4-month-old, 40 lb. female Husky who was recently surrendered back to the shelter after being in a home for a year. Huskies are a unique breed, so make sure to research their needs before considering adoption.

Huskies like Valkyrie are highly energetic and thrive with active individuals or families. They require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Known for being vocal, Huskies love expressing themselves and will need a confident, experienced owner who can provide structure and guidance.

Valkyrie has shown some resource guarding with food, so she would do best in a home without small children or other pets and with someone who understands how to be a strong, kind leader.

🐾 If you’re looking for a loyal companion and are up for the adventure of a Husky, Valkyrie may be the perfect fit! Call the shelter at 270-821-8965 to schedule your meet-and-greet with this gorgeous girl. 🐕❤️
