This is why we exist, in hopes that we can lessen these heartbreaking decisions. 💔🐶🐱

Today was a stark reminder of the heartbreaking realities of homelessness. We assisted two different individuals forced to surrender their beloved dogs due to their own circumstances. One gentleman, homeless since his house burned down in December, tearfully gave up Dingo, his mother's dog he promised to care for. Hours later, a woman living in her car with her daughter and cat made the agonizing decision to surrender her dog, Bubby of ten years.
Our shelter was at capacity, and Dingo showed signs of loyal aggression, requiring a transfer to the K9 Center. Our Executive Director made sure both owners reached safety and support with driving the gentleman to Christ’s Table for resources. These weren't easy choices, but survival demanded them. Reclaiming is not an option for either individual. They have very limited financial resources & cannot afford the additional costs associated with housing with pets.
Financial restrictions are just one issue associated with pet ownership.
There is no shame in homelessness or in loving an animal so much that you prioritize their well-being, even through surrender. The true shame lies in a system that forces such painful separations. Tonight, two heartbroken owners are without their companions, and two confused, scared dogs are missing their families. Animals feel deeply. Let's remember the love and loss on both sides of this difficult equation. Tonight, hearts are broken on both ends of the leash. We must do better. 🐾💔

Storms are scary for people, and for our beloved pets who don't understand weather alerts or strange rumbles/lights, they can create a lot of anxiety!

When the forecast calls for severe storms, remember:
🐾Always bring your furry friends inside or bring them with you to your designated shelter - don't leave them behind;
🐾Familiar toys, blankets, and pet beds can provide comfort;
🐾A pet emergency kit with essentials like water, food and meds if you need to shelter for a prolonged period;
🐾Activities like chews, lick mats and snuffle mats can be a welcome distraction;
🐾And calming supplements and chews, when taken beforehand, can help a pet relax or even sleep while waiting out the storm.
