Millie went out on the town yesterday morning! She went for a long walk, and got to bark at her own reflection for awhile. Her favorite part? The breakfast sandwich she was rewarded with after being the best girl ever. This goofy girl knows how to entertain! If you’d like to meet her, email us at [email protected] today! https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/37088781-royal-oak-michigan-mixed-breed-medium-mix

During Millie’s slumber party last week, our volunteer decided it was time for her to get a bath. Millie decided she would rather roll around and smell like grass than any fancy dog soap! She is still up for adoption, so email us at [email protected] for a chance to meet her. One thing’s for sure, she will keep you laughing!

05/23/2024

Rock’s day with Melissa was filled with love, nature, and a pup cup of course! 😉 He loved meeting new people, and was a total ham for some affection. Sun’s out, tongues out!

If you are interested in taking dogs out for a day on the town, email us at [email protected] to become a foster. You’ll be so happy you did!

We are ALL SMILES this week because our volunteers are making a huge difference! We have three dog walkers lined up, FOUR slumber parties planned, and donations coming in by the truckload! We couldn’t do what we do without you, and we are so appreciative. If you find yourself with some extra time, looking to really make a difference, please email us at [email protected] for a volunteer or foster application. The dogs are so grateful for time away from the busy shelter, getting one on one time with their human. ♥️

Don’t forget: we have extra supplies outside the shelter for anyone who needs them. Blankets, sheets, dog beds galore! Come on by before 4pm today, take what you need, leave what ya don’t!
