🐾 Adoption Post 2/2: 20 cats found their homes!✨ We’re still celebrating an amazing 32 adoptions in total from our 831 Adoption Special, honoring Brynne Smith’s love for animals. Thank you again to the Smith family for sponsoring adoptions this weekend—it truly made a difference for so many lives.💙

Each adoption was special, but one in particular touched us deeply:
🐱 Mercury – After 63 days in our care, this brave boy found his forever home. Mercury survived Panleukopenia, a life-threatening viral disease, and while it left him with permanent leg damage, it never dimmed his playful spirit. Known as a “wobble kitten,” he wobbles through life with pure joy and goofiness. Now, he has a family who will love him every single day.

We’re so thankful to every cat lover who opened their hearts and homes this week—you made all the difference. 💛

🐾 Adoption Post 1/2: 12 dogs found their homes!✨ This past week we celebrated an incredible 32 adoptions in total during our 831 Adoption Special, honoring Brynne Smith’s love for animals. A heartfelt thank you to the Smith family for sponsoring adoptions on Saturday and Sunday, helping make so many forever matches possible. 💙

Two stand-out adoptions truly melted our hearts:
🐶 Milo – After 173 days in our care, we finally said goodbye to our sweet senior boy. Milo had a way of capturing every heart he met. Every morning, he would sit by his dog door, waiting patiently for someone to pass by, and when they did, he’d pop up with the biggest smile. His anxious little pants and endless licks just made us love him more every day. Milo was lucky enough to go on several adventures during his stay with us— a field trip to a dentist’s office, a fun-filled lake day, and even a special appearance on the news. Now, his story has the happiest ending of all—he found his perfect human. Milo will spend his golden years as the beloved companion of a retired man, who saw in Milo exactly what we all did: a loyal, loving soul who just needed a forever home. 🐾❤️

🐶 Russell – After 203 days with us, we also celebrated the adoption of Russell, another unforgettable dog who left pawprints on every heart here. He came to us after living with a homeless man, and although his past was uncertain, he quickly showed us his goofy, old-soul personality. While in our care, Russell learned everything from kennel training to potty training to what it means to live indoors for the first time. He embraced it all with such charm—always reminding us of an old man trapped in a young pup’s body with his silly quirks and calm demeanor. While Russell didn’t get to go home with Cinco, we’re confident their bond will live on through future playdates. More importantly, Russell now has a family who loves him for exactly who he is—and that’s the ending we dreamed of for him. 💛

We’re so grateful for every adopter who gave our dogs the love-filled homes they deserve. Thank you for making this week one we’ll never forget.
