Another Foster Friday! Star came to us after her previous family could no longer afford her medical expenses for an injured leg. Her leg was amputated, and she’s been healing wonderfully. While at the shelter, Star struggled with stress and wasn’t eating well, but thanks to a loving foster home, she’s had the chance to decompress and recover fully. Despite being a tripod, Star hasn’t let that slow her down! She’s adapting beautifully and is the sweetest girl, often stopping mid-walk to drop down for a belly rub.

Her foster parent shares:
“Star truly lives up to her name as she loves being the star of the home and the center of attention. She enjoys cuddling on the sofa (when invited) and is a big fan of belly rubs—one of the first things she did after arriving at my home. Star also loves frosty paws, bones, and spending time outdoors. Her amputation hasn’t affected her mobility—she loves walks and meeting new people. She will make a loving and loyal companion for someone.”

We’d love to find Star her forever home while she’s still in foster, so she doesn’t have to return to the shelter and experience stress. If you’re interested in giving Star the love and attention she deserves, please email [email protected]. 🐾

Happy Foster Friday! Collett is a very smart and affectionate senior kitty with special dietary needs. While she can be quite independent, she is content sharing space with other cats. Collett loves to spend her days relaxing whenever she finds a comfortable spot, but as soon as she sees a visitor she will greet them with conversation!

This cat is in one of our Foster Homes and will require an appointment to meet. Contact [email protected] if you are interested!

Rescue Recess gives dogs like Harper the chance to just be a dog — away from the stress of shelter life. Harper was adopted as a puppy, but after just a few months, he was returned due to unrealistic expectations. It quickly became clear that Harper struggled with trusting new people, which made life in the shelter extra tough.

Since then, he’s been working with our behavior team on his “stranger danger,” and that’s where Townes stepped in. Townes met Harper in December 2024 after the loss of his beloved senior dog. What started as a day out turned into a powerful connection.

Harper has since spent more than 30 overnights with Townes — sometimes up to 9 days at a time. Together they’ve worked on leash manners, car rides, crate training, and just learning how to be a dog in a home setting. Townes says “He was wild at first, but we made real progress. He still struggles with strangers — but once he trusts you, he’s the sweetest, goofiest boy. We even took a trip to the mall recently, it was a good outing.”

He might not be adopting Harper, but his commitment to helping him grow has been life-changing. Even through surgery recovery and his own challenges, he’s continued to show up for Harper with love and patience.

This is exactly why Rescue Recess is so important — it gives dogs like Harper the opportunity to build trust, decompress, and experience the world outside the shelter walls. Now Harper is just waiting for the right person to keep helping him move forward.

Could that be you? Stop by our main shelter to meet him!

Update: Both have been ADOPTED!

Harriet and Ozzy were left in a kennel outside our shelter — scared, confused, and unsure. 💔

Thankfully, our team found them within minutes and brought them inside for veterinary care. While we never condone or encourage abandoning animals, we’re grateful they were brought somewhere safe instead of being left on the streets.

Harriet was immediately wagging her tail, happy to meet us. Ozzy, more cautious, kept his distance — unsure of who to trust. But with time, patience, and love, he slowly let his guard down and began to blossom. 💛

We’re happy to share that Harriet has found his forever home! 🏡 Now it’s Ozzy's turn to find the loving family she deserves.

We see stories like this every day—and each one reminds us why we do what we do. We’re grateful to have the resources and compassionate team to give dogs like Harriet and Ozzy a second chance.

Come meet Ozzy at our von Arx Adoption Center at Patty Baker Humane Society Naples!
