Rufus is now our shelter’s current longest resident.
This spunky, rambunctious, SWEET, loving boy is approximately 8 years old. He spent most of his life hooked to a chain in the yard. Since being at the shelter, he has really opened up! Rufus is so silly and goofy- he will be sure to make you smile.
Please share in hopes of finding this guy his forever home 🐾

PUPDATE 🐾
Do you remember the pups that were found dumped outside the shelter? Well, oh my, have they improved drastically!
Skip and Marshall were found in the morning by a volunteer at the shelter- they were left inside a plastic tub. It stormed the previous night which led the tub to fill with water. They were extremely malnourished, anemic, infested with fleas, weak.. they hardly had any life left in them. They were robbed of their early puppyhood.
TODAY.. they are happy, chunky, playful, rambunctious, hilarious, adorable and most importantly healthy. They were dealt a bad hand but they have their whole life ahead of them. Both Skip and Marshall deserve the world.
Adopt one, or both 😉, of these sweet babies- I assure you, you won’t regret it ❤️

Update! The owners of this dog were located in Valdosta. This is a great time to remind you to chip your baby’s!
Just received this video of the lost pup near South Brooks Dairy. We are looking for her owner. Please call 314-724-2199 if you know this sweet girl!
It was a big day for the pups at Quitman Paws and Play.
Our volunteers took Jack and Jill on their first lead walks.
Jack was pretty stubborn at first but they got the hang of it.
Look at these cuties.
Contact us to make an appointment to meet these beautiful pups.

Love Does Work! Patience Does Work! Understanding Does Work!
We are asked so often how we can be a NO KILL shelter!?! How does that work?
This testimonial may help explain what it takes sometimes to save lives.
We have posted our Hank in the past and for those of you who don’t know his story I’ll start from the beginning.
Hank came to the shelter July 18, 2022 with his sister. They were reported as strays and picked up. His sister was re-homed right away which left Hank behind. He was kenneled and left due to his aggression.
We volunteers started on September 17 and at that point Hank was cowering in his kennel and we were told to leave him. I remember two of us trying to get him out while protecting ourselves and he wouldn’t let us put a lead on him. It broke our hearts and Hank became our priority.
One Sunday while feeding we just left his kennel open and hoped for the best with a beautiful animal who would have been put down under normal circumstances.
The video below shows his very first adventure out of his kennel. We had tears literally and our fears were eased greatly once we saw him interacting playfully with our Classy.
It’s been months but today Hank is a different dog. He now has dog friends, he plays fetch, he goes on walks outside the shelter, he sits, but most of all he LOVES.
We have a long way to go with Hank as he has to learn to trust everyone and learn that male dogs can be his friend as well.
Hank surely would have been euthanized in another setting. He is absolutely adoptable now to the right family and we are working hard to make him perfect for any family.
So to answer your questions as to how we can be 100% NO KILL is with Love, Patience and Understanding.
This is just one example of the rewards volunteering can bring.
Hank and his friend Allison are front and center at the shelter. If you drive by you will see him playing or resting in the sunshine. Long gone are his miserable days locked in a kennel.
We have a couple dog
