🎉🎉ADOPTED🎉🎉Who needs an adorable puppy named Ophelia?!? You do! This sweet girl is 9 weeks old and needs a wonderful home with a big brother or sister dog (she loves friends). While Ophelia grew up in foster, she learned to walk on leash and go up steps, even quickly figured out to p*e outside or on a p*e pad! She loved her 12 year old foster dog siblings and followed them everywhere. She also does zoomies in the yard and rolled in the leaves. She’s the smartest puppy! Email [email protected] to make an appointment to adopt her today! Include your home info (other dogs) and why you are ready for the cutest and smartest puppy in town. Go Ophelia puppy lovers—GO!

On this Veterans Day we honor ALL who served. Thank you for defending our lives and liberty! 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸
p.s. we thought this picture was so pretty with the light on the flag; the actual reason for the picture was the dog tied to the bench. 🙃 Welcome to our world. This pup was rescued and has been adopted. Good Bless America. 🙏♥️🙏

PLEASE HELP! We are seriously full. We DO NOT have space for any more stray dogs. We have been asking finders to PLEASE try their best to find the owners or hold onto the stray and make a found report with us. We really do not know where to put the next dog.

Please tell your friends to check with us if they are missing a pet. Every stray we have right now is listed below (this does not include court cases that are taking up kennels). Please share and spread the word. Can I say please again?🥲😭

🐾 Meet Tippity Tail - the 1-year-old Border Collie with a heart full of curiosity and a tail that never quits wagging! 🌟

This handsome explorer loves adventure and doing his own thing. But when he's had his fill of fun, Tippity Tail is just as happy to curl up in your lap for some snuggles. 💕
He'd like to start off as the only pet in the home (he likes all the attention to himself, thank you very much).

If you're looking for a smart, sweet, and slightly independent guy who can switch from explorer mode to lap dog mode in seconds - Tippity Tail is your guy! 🐶✨
