We have the ultimate #FeelGoodFriday to share! After over a year at the shelter, our boy Pad Thai has finally found his furever home! He is living happily ever after with Pam and we couldnโt be more excited for the pair ๐Many are familiar with Pad Thaiโs story. The 5-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix was brought in to the shelter by our Humane Officers in September of 2023. He and his buddy, Banh Mi (adopted) were found tied to trees and deemed abandoned. They were at the shelter for over a year with little to no interest from potential adopters.Pam visited the shelter in search of a female Husky. However, she was introduced to Pad Thai on her tour and instantly fell in love with his handsome good looks and friendly personality. Her decision to bring him home was solidified further after spending time with Pad Thai in a play yard and being showered with puppy kisses! We couldnโt think of a pup more deserving of a loving home! Congrats and happy tails, Pad Thai๐ถ

Weโre having so much fun with our shelter dogs in the office! Temperatures continue to soar in SoCal, so weโre helping our pups beat the heat with some quality time indoors ๐ค Many of our shelter dogs have never spent time inside a home. This was a great way to learn more about their indoor personalities while also keeping them cool!
