This is Willow.
(She is in foster care and not at the shelter)

11 weeks ago, Animal Control brought in 16 dogs from a home in Morristown. These dogs had not been socialized at all and because they were not spayed or neutered, were having puppies. Two litters of puppies came from the home, Willow and her siblings being one of them. They had no medical care and were living outside since they were born. They were very, very sick. In fact, he sister, Waverly did not survive.
Willow has been in foster care most of her tiny life. She’s been around kids, other dogs recently and even cats - loves them all!
She’s very food motivated and so smart.
She’s a shar pei mix and about 13 weeks old.
She’s weighs 12lbs, expected to be about 30-35lbs.

As her foster mother for almost all her life, you can imagine how hard it will be to say goodbye to this sweetheart, so what I would love is to find someone who -
1. Wants an inside dog. She is not a dog that would love living outside. She likes the outdoors but loves people more.
2. Who will love this baby immensely. She deserves it and will earn every ounce.
3. Who thinks of their animals as a part of their family. She started so rough, I’ve promised her the bestest life ever. I don’t break promises.

🐾Willow is now available for adoption. So, if you are the hero in this girl’s story, send us a message and we can set up a meeting.
Our adoption application is here -

There are gonna be tears when I find the perfect person but they are going to be tears of joy. ❤️

If you have time to spare we could use volunteers to -

1. Collect our scrap metal and take it!
2. Build a canopy for our employees to have a break area outside. They deserve a comfy spot to decompress.
3. LAUNDRY HELP! We are up to our eyeballs in laundry. If you can pick up a couple loads and do them at home, we would be grateful (and the animals would be too).

Just send a message if you'd like to help out with any of these.
THANK YOU!

Update: he got all cleaned up and is on medication to help decrease the swelling and irritation so that he can go back in and get it all sewn up. He is a very sweet boy who gives lots of kisses.

We haven’t raised nearly enough for this boys care. He was given pain medication and made comfortable and stable overnight and is now on his way to the vet. Please donate below if you can. We also have a puppy currently hospitalized with life-threatening injuries from being hit by a car yesterday. The medical needs never seem to end, but unfortunately, the funds do quickly.

Love to Organize? We Need You!
Our shelter is buzzing every single day with animals, supplies, and paperwork that need a little TLC—and that’s where YOU come in. From filing important papers to mopping the floor (because clean spaces = healthy pets), there’s always something to do that helps our animals and staff breathe a little easier.

Whether you can give a few hours weekly or just once in a while, your time makes a huge difference. Even small shifts up front at the shelter help us keep things running smoothly and keep our animals safe.

👉 Sign up for an Office Organizer shift here: https://tinyurl.com/238lxypd
Or just message us—we’d love to have you join the team!

Volunteer requirements:
Able to lift at least 20 lbs (supplies, boxes, the occasional stubborn mop bucket)
Comfortable being on your feet during your shift
Have a volunteer application on file.

Come put your organizing superpowers to work—our animals (and staff) will thank you with tail wags, purrs, and endless gratitude
