Sadly we have had reports of a scammer posting a fake Venmo account for the lemonade stand on Sunday. This is the real account and I will post the scammer account in comments in case you donated to them. If you did please contact Venmo.

We are so excited to announce that Buddy has officially been adopted! Not only did he get adopted but by one of the staff members at the shelter who has been caring for him. He already made himself at home and likes to sleep in his humans bed. He is so very lucky and we wish his the best life going forward. We cannot wait to get updates on the handsome guy!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We want to say THANK YOU to Jack and his family for supporting our shelter animals with their lemonade stand today! It is wonderful to see the community love. 💕 They are still there if anyone would like a refreshing drink; located across the street from Osborndale State Park (sidewalk of Derby High). 🍋🐶🐈‍⬛

We’d also like to thank The Yankee Clipper Barber Shop in Seymour for their generous donation to our shelter!

🍋🐾 Lemonade, Love, and Little Heroes! 🐾🍋

Four-year-old Jack is out here today with the biggest heart and the best lemonade stand in town — all to help the animals at the Shelton Animal Shelter in memory of his OZZY! 💛

He kicked things off at 11AM and hasn’t stopped since — not even for a juice break! He’s been serving up smiles and ice-cold lemonade, all while raising money to help the pets who are still waiting for their forever homes. 🚒🐶🚑

A HUGE thank you to our special visitors from the Derby Fire Department and Ambulance who stopped by to support Jack’s mission — and to every kind soul who came out today.

100% of the proceeds from Jack’s lemonade stand are going straight to the shelter. Jack, the animals are SO lucky to have a little hero like you in their corner. 🐾💕

Let’s hear it for Jack!! 👏🍋🐾

🐾 Still Waiting… Meet Charlie 🐾

June was an incredible month for adoptions — so many happy tails and forever families made! 💛 But somehow, our sweet boy Charlie is still waiting for his turn.

Charlie is a goofy, lovable pup with a heart full of love and legs built for zoomies. He’s been patiently watching his shelter friends leave one by one, hoping every day that his family will walk through the door next.

He’s ready. His bags are packed (okay, it’s mostly toys and treats), and his heart is wide open. All he needs is someone to say, “You’re coming home with us.”

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, come meet Charlie — he might just be the missing piece of your heart 🐶❤️

We got the nicest call today that this little boy named Jack is doing a lemonade stand for the shelter in honor of his dog Ozzy who passed away in April. The family decided they wanted to do something to remember their beloved dog so they started “Deeds for Dogs”. The lemonade stand will be held at 11am this Sunday June 29th at Osbornedale State Park. If you have a moment please stop by and say hello! And enjoy some delicious lemonade which will support our shelter animals and keep Ozzys’ legacy alive!🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

🌟 ONE YEAR. 365 DAYS. TOO LONG. 🌟

Sweet Kaytayana has been waiting an entire year at the Shelter for her forever home. 💔 She’s watched other dogs come and go, but she’s still here… patiently waiting, with her big soulful eyes and gentle heart. 🐾

Kaytayana is kind, loyal, and ready to give someone all the love she’s been saving up. She deserves a second chance — a soft bed, a loving family, and a home to finally call her own. 🏡💕

Could it be you? Could you be the one to change her story?

📍Visit the Shelton Animal Shelter or call (203) 924-2501 (option 2) to meet Kaytayana. Let’s not let her wait another day. 🐶❤️

We are very sad to report that a male intact French bulldog was found in a bag this morning newly deceased. It is mostly white with grey on the left side of his face. The dog was left on the stairs in a bag leading up to the restaurant Little Barn on Bridgeport avenue. If anyone knows who this dog may have belonged to please call us (203)924-2501 press 2. (This dog was not hit by a car and we will be doing a necropsy to find out cause of death).
