Adopting one life enriches two.🐈‍⬛🥰 With Bagheera in your life it will be so filled with love and laughter. He came to us as a stray and did not know how to be a cat. He wouldn’t even play with a toy when we tried. Now he loves a good string toy and will chase it around forever. He jumps in your lap for cuddles and purrs so loud. He also loves a nap in a big comfy cat bed. He has finally been shown what love is and he wants nothing more than to give it right back. Will you give this baby the life he deserves?🐾🖤 Go to littleguild.org for more information or to fill out an adoption application.

It's Giving Tuesday. There is no greater gift than the love of an animal. ❣️

The challenges in animal welfare continue - pet care for families in crisis, free or low-cost health care, pet food and supplies, and training for community pet owners struggling. Dog adoptions slowed in 2024. The need for placement of homeless animals, each with a unique set of circumstances, persists. The Little Guild continues to make a change in our community everyday. YOU are making the difference, thank you!

CALLING ALL MY HUSKY PEOPLE!!!🐾 Zuko is
back and looking for his forever home! Zuko came to us as a stray who had gotten very used to roaming free. He has grown more and more accustomed to leash walking and some confinement, but he remains a true husky at heart. He has a lot of puppy energy and is super active. He will generally shy away from initial contact and benefits from patient handling. Zuko will be a great match for someone with the patience to form a deep lasting bond, and an active, outdoor lifestyle. If this sounds like you, Zuko is ready to explore the world with you!

The current 3,000-square-foot facility accommodates 16 dogs and 25 cats comfortably at any time. ======================= First Half 2017 Animal Statistics: 1/1/2017 Animal Count: 34 Total Intakes: 149 Adoptions: 140 Transfers Out: 1 Deceased: 4 Total Outcomes: 145 6/30/2017 Animal Count: 38 First Half 2017 Live Release Rate: 141/145 = 97% ======================= The Little Guild gives every animal in our care the support they need to find a loving home. However, because we sometimes rescue animals in dire conditions, animals do pass away or are humanely euthanized in our care to end suffering.
