With this ongoing heat wave, here's a reminder!🐶🌞

06/17/2024

Good afternoon all,

Last week we took in 25 dogs, as strays, abandonment, or cruelty cases. We adopted out 3. These numbers are simply not sustainable. we are in need to foster, adopt, rescue some of these dogs to create space for strays.

We would like to avoid stamping dogs at all cost, but we cannot do that without the help of you. We will be reaching out to any applicants that have applied in the past that didn’t find a dog that match their needs and we strongly encourage everyone to apply for foster or adoption placement. Please check your inbox or junk box for emails from us and we will be calling folks as well.

If you can’t, please consider fostering. If you can’t foster, please encourage anyone you know that can to apply. If no one you know, can foster or adopt, please share our post.

We want to give our boy Milo some extra attention this week. Milo is the sweetest boy ever!! He so adorable and has the best personality, Milo is a bit shy so he needs about 20 mins to get comfortable in new areas before he warm up to you, however he is dog friendly and slow to play around but once he is nice and comfy Milo is sure to show his silliness, his clingy side and everything in between he loves playing tug-A-war and is mild temper Milo do not be beat to play all day he loves to lounge😂

Rouge Playing zoomies with his playmate today for yard time. Rouge has been with us since March of this year, he is just about 1 yrs old. He is very alert and on point he watches over the office like a supreme deputy. As you see he has dog social skills, however he is shy so you have to approach him slow and steady to give him a safe vibe. He loves the wobble kong, KONGS in general he loves toys that keeps him stimulated. Rouge is such a good boy with a fun personality. Apply to meet & greet with him.

It's almost 9:00pm, do you know where your dog is? 🐶🔍 We know where ours are! Snug as a bug in a rug in their beds🥰💤all thanks to this blissful dreams lavender pillow spray. Really eases their nerves and anxiety. Happy pup night at the shelter!❤️ A reminder to make sure all of your fur pals are in the house for the night, so they can sleep tight!💤💗

Cadmus is getting highlighted for finally Trusting us!!! It was such a long road to get all this interaction and play time out of Cadmus. He came in very shy and grumpy due to losing his eyesight in his left eye from a neglected eye infection. Cadmus stayed with the Wonderful Dr. Boden Mansfield Veterinary Hospital for a while to fight for his eyesight. We lost that battle but gained a great friend because now that he used is to his new circumstance he is the best friend ever!! He is vocal and playful now! We thought we should share with our supporters.... Feel free to connect him with a family or Rescue if you want to help Cadmus out of the shelter. Adoptions are Welcomed!!

Blue: Lab/Pit Mix Blue is a unique dog with a complex set of behaviors that currently make him challenging for adoption. Blue exhibits concerning behaviors, particularly aggression towards unfamiliar people during walks and increased reactivity in his kennel. Unfortunately, this has escalated to the point where he is experiencing kennel stress, rendering him unsafe to handle within the shelter environment, and we are not a rehab facility. Recognizing the limitations of our facilities, we are actively seeking a rescue, rehabilitation facility, or sanctuary willing to undertake the challenge of behaviorally rehabilitating Blue. He is currently at risk and is designated as "rescue only." We are urgently seeking a rescue organization to step in and provide Blue with the lifeline he desperately needs before 1/31/24. Your prompt assistance can make a significant difference in securing a safe and positive outcome for Blue. Rescue organizations, sanctuaries, and/or rehabilitation facilities should call the shelter at 609-989-3254 or email [email protected] and/or [email protected].
