This sweetheart unfortunately escaped out of the house on Lakeview Avenue this morning. He is a former rescued stray; adopted for a month now and has been strictly kept indoors. He is likely very spooked - so with any sightings please call Anisa directly at (number now removed for privacy)

🎄 Meet the Ones Still Waiting for Their Christmas Miracle 🎄
Dogs ages 2 and up and cats ages 2 to 14 — all of them unbelievably loving, all of them still hoping their person is out there.

These are the faces of pets who’ve been overlooked and let down, through no fault of their own. But oh my goodness… they haven’t given up. Their Christmas wish this year is simple and pure:

✨ For their special human to see this post.
✨ To finally be chosen.
✨ To spend the rest of their years knowing they matter.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting — or know someone who is — please take a moment to look into their eyes. One click, one visit, one “yes” could turn their entire world into a holiday miracle. ❤️

Let’s get these beautiful dogs and cats the homes they’ve been dreaming of.
Share to help their families find them! 🐶🐱🎁💫

This handsome boy you’re looking at is Brady. And he doesn’t just look polite, he’s a downright gentleman! Brady was found roaming the streets of Derby wondering where his family was. He was found neglected, malnourished, and with a terrible ear infection. That was all the way back in July, over 5 months ago. He’s been doted on by the wonderful ACOs since then, but deserves a home to call his own. He is a very young adult hound mix.

When I said Brady was a polite gentleman, I may have been underselling him. Brady doesn’t jump up on people or counters. He doesn’t beg for food at the table, or even when relaxing on the couch with some popcorn. In all the chaos that is life, he knows the difference between a dog toy and a shoe. Despite his very obvious hound ancestry, Brady is a surprisingly quiet guy when in a home. Although, he will gladly demonstrate a trademark bay if a squirrel happens by. He is a dream passenger in the car, calmly watching the world pass by. Brady loves to snuggle and cuddle in bed, (quickly learning which side is his.) However, if you prefer putting him in a cozy crate that he can call his own, he has no protests about spending the night in there either. Whether you’re gone 3 minutes or 3 hours, Brady will welcome you home with the same exuberance every time. This good boy’s tail never stops wagging.

And saving the best for last: he is 100% housebroken. He enjoyed a long tether in a volunteer’s backyard where he was able to go potty as well as getting in a few good smells. He could use some help and guidance on loose leash walking; there’s too many good sights to see and places to smell!

Brady would make an excellent addition to any family. Whether you’re looking for a precocious playmate for your pup, a couple wanting to bring a fur baby home, or a single individual seeking a best friend for outdoor adventures; Brady is your guy! He loves all forms of play: wrestling, fetch, keep away. He is down for all of it, with a particular passion for squeak toys.

Lastly, Brady appears to have some allergies that are getting looked at by a vet today (December 9th.) Unsure of the cause at this moment, but it could be as simple as cutting out chicken, wheat, etc. from his diet. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Brady would absolutely thrive in a home with a routine and structure. He could do well in a home with another social dog(s). He can be a bit boisterous during play, and is 40-45lbs. He hasn’t been cat-tested, but it may be a possibility.
