We have some friend group rock stars on our hands! 🌟

Meet Chunk, the big, lovable hunk on the right! Chunk is a social butterfly who loves making new friends. He was surrendered to BrightSide, and his previous family shared that he’s lived happily with both dogs and cats.

Having grown up in a home environment, Chunk would thrive in a foster home or even better, a forever home! He’s also a perfect candidate for a long weekend camp getaway to escape the shelter and have some fun with a foster family.

Interested in fostering or adopting Chunk? Reach out to us or come meet him in person at BrightSide!

Happy $2 Tuesday! Meet this week’s spotlight pets looking for forever homes: Leyka & Rosie! 🐶🐱

Leyka is a young foxhound mix who’s all about fun and games. She loves meeting new people, chasing balls, and is learning to make other doggy friends here. If you’re looking for an energetic and friendly dog, Leyka would love to meet you!

Rosie, on the other hand, is a shy cat who enjoys life at her own pace. She loves her independence, a warm bed, and quiet time. Rosie would thrive in a calm home with someone who appreciates her gentle and easy-going nature.

If you’re unable to adopt, you can still make a big difference with a small gesture by donating $2 towards the care of Leyka and Rosie while they wait for forever homes by visiting: https://brightsideanimals.org/adoptable-dogs/ 💛

Say hello to your future best friend, Linus! Linus is the absolute sweetest and most affectionate boy! His love for walks, great manners, and cuddle sessions on the couch have made him a volunteer favorite around here.

While we all adore him, we know Linus would do even better in a foster home while he waits for his forever family. He’d love to learn more about life in a home and continue growing in a cozy environment. Linus gets along well with other dogs but is also perfectly content being a bit of a lone wolf, so he’s happy either way!

If you would like to be part of Linus’ journey and foster this lovable guy, please stop by the shelter, fill out our foster form online, or give us a call! We’d love to hear from you! 🧡

Von has a very important question to ask you… Will you be his Valentine? 💘

Von’s ideal date involves a fun game of finding hidden treats and a quiet night in snuggled up on the couch. Have other dogs in your life? Von doesn’t mind sharing his love. Kiddos over 12? He will adore them too! To be Von’s Valentine, he just needs a little time to get to know you, and you to get to know him. Once he’s out of his shell, he will be your shadow.

If you want a Valentine who will give you endless love, come meet Von at our shelter. Our doors are open until 5:30pm tonight, and he would love to go home with his forever person.

If you have fallen in love with Von just like we all have at BrightSide, but can’t adopt him, you can still send him and his friends at the shelter some love through a Valentine Gram. Grams can be purchased online through the link below, on our website, by visiting us in person, or by stopping into High Desert Florals in Downtown Redmond.

🌸🌸 Every purchase of a gram for $20 or more will be entered to win a $350 raffle basket that includes a bouquet subscription from High Desert Florals! 🌸🌸

Send a Valentine gift: https://www.givinggrid.com/nhdwxq/

- A huge THANK YOU to Gloria and the amazing team at High Desert Florals for all the love in their hearts for the animals waiting for their forever homes. 🩷🩷🩷

Happy Foster Friday: Meet Georgia! 🐾

Georgia is living her best puppy life in her foster home! Her foster family says she’s an active girl who can be a little shy at first, but once she’s comfortable, she’s full of energy and love. She’s still learning her manners, but she’s already mastered walking on a leash and would make the perfect walking or running buddy! She’s currently living with two other dogs and kids aged 3 to 16, her favorite game is fetch, and after burning off all that energy, she loves curling up on the couch under a cozy blanket for some snuggles.

Georgia is all set for her forever home so give us a call to schedule a time to meet this cutie in person and let the forever fun begin!

❤️🐶
