As we begin the new year we want to thank everyone. It absolutely takes a village to do what we do. We cannot continue to do what we do without you.

You guys make a difference. From volunteering, donating (whether it be monetary, your time, or miles), transporters, staff, comments, shares, and/or coming to our outreaches. Everything counts on making a difference to our animals. You may think comments and shares don't really do anything. But you're wrong they do. That one comment tagging someone or that one share to your wall. That single action opens a multitude of doors. I've seen it happen and it's a beautiful moment when it does.

It takes a village and we are so thankful for ours. We have our struggles and we have those high moments too. But with the help from all of you it makes the times of struggle a little lighter.

Shelter life isn't easy by a long shot. There are days that are hard. There are also days that are an absolute miracle. It challenges everything, physically, mentally and emotionally. It's not for the faint of heart. There are really hard days where no matter how hard you fight, pouring your heart out, and it's wall after wall. It's that horrid, most bitter pill that you have to swallow. You can't save them all. It hasn't stopped us from trying but those days are the absolute worst. But it's what drives us to fight harder. Yes, you can't save them all but that doesn't stop us from trying.

You will have days where you think you can't do it anymore. It's just become too taxing. Then it happens. A poor soul comes through those doors. You look at them and you just know. It's time to fight for them. You pull yourself back up and get ready. Because sometimes it's not you saving them. It's them saving you. You fight for them because they can't fight for themselves. You have to tell their story. Being able to do that and seeing them change from being so scared they won't come out of the kennel to being able to pet them and seeing the change in their eyes when they know that they're safe. Those are the times that fill your soul and your heart. Just seeing them change. It's what it's about. It's those moments that make up for all the others.

So thank you for all that you do to help. We appreciate it and are excited to announce our final count for our year. We still have a few days left. We are excited to see what this year holds. Again from the bottom of our hearts we thank you!

OK my German Shepherd friends, we just got in these 4 Black/Tan Shepherds that just fell from the sky and found at a local park. They were horrendously filthy and their bath water ran black! They have been vaccinated, bordetella, de-wormed, and microchipped and they are patiently awaiting your arrival. Contact the shelter at 279-6968 for more information.
