Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!

😍Shadow’s Still Waiting for His Happy Ever After Home!😍

We first introduced you to Shadow back in August, hoping someone would see the gentle soul behind those cautious eyes. Sadly, he hasn’t had a single inquiry since. But here’s the good news: Shadow hasn’t given up, and neither have we❤️

Since arriving at the shelter, this 1.5-year-old sweetheart has slowly but surely started to bloom. He came in scared and unsure of this big, noisy world but with patience and kindness, his brave little heart has begun to shine☀️

Here’s what makes Shadow special:
💙 Loves to snuggle close once he feels safe
🌿 Enjoys rolling in the grass and lounging in the shade
💦 Has a blast dipping his paws in the pool in warm weather
🍪 So gentle when taking treats
🐶 Previously lived with another dog
🏋🏻‍♂️ Weighs about 50 lbs, the perfect medium-sized companion

Shadow is looking for a calm, patient home; one that will give him time to feel safe and let his playful, affectionate side shine through. He’s been waiting patiently since July, but we know his person is out there. Maybe this post will help find them💛

✨ Sammy Is the Newest Shelter Sweetheart ✨

We’re still getting to know this lovable guy since he just arrived, but oh my — he’s already stealing hearts left and right. Sammy just wants to be close to his people.

Here’s what we’ve learned so far:
🎂 1 ½ years old and 55 pounds
🐾 Sweet demeanor, loves to lean in for pets and attention
🪑 Knows how to sit, kind of! He gets excited and wiggles too much to stay put for long🤪
🍪 Takes treats gently and is eager to learn
🐕 Not dog reactive and wants to play with everyone
🚶‍♂️ Walks OK on a leash but could use a little refresher
🐾 Still full of cute puppy-like antics

We’re so happy Sammy is here and can’t wait to watch him settle in and show even more of his sweet, playful spirit — unless some lucky human comes and makes him a part of their family immediately (you should!)❤️

Today is National Thankful for My Dog Day, and we’re feeling extra grateful for the incredible dogs still waiting for their forever homes🐾

They may not have couches (yet), but they’ve got courage, charm and hearts big enough to fill a whole neighborhood with love.

To our shelter pups:
Thank you for the tail wags through tough days,
The hopeful eyes that never stop believing,
And the joy you bring to everyone who meets you.

📸 Bonus points for goofy grins, zoomie blurs or snuggle snapshots. And if you’re still looking for your heart dog -- come meet the ones who are waiting🐶

🍂🍂🍂HOPE🍂🍂🍂

Can you be our hope for December?

This food represents hope for our Pet Food Pantry recipients.

We gather the food that we use for both of our Pet Food Pantries (Christian Neighbors in Douglas, and the River Church in Allegan) from many sources. Donations of food and funds from wonderful people who help with this mission, our work with Greater Good, and Chewy. But, as our supply from Greater Good and Chewy have diminished, our need has not. Our Allegan Pantry alone provided supplemental food to over 400 animals in November.

We need your help!!! Every bag, big or small will help us to fill this need for December. Our biggest need is for dry dog, and especially dry cat food. Check the comments for the Amazon Wishlist for our Pet Food Pantry, but any good quality food would be appreciated.

Donations can be dropped off or sent to the shelter at 2293 33rd Street in Allegan, or to the Wishbone House 165 Blue Star Highway in Douglas.

Thank you for bringing Hope during this time when the need is so great.

🐾 Foster Takeover/Forever Home Needed: Tatertot & Petey, Two Best Buds! 🐾

Tatertot (1.5 years old) and Petey (8 months old) are the ultimate odd couple: one is a shy, soulful homebody, and the other is a goofy, outgoing puppy who loves everyone and everything. Together, they balance each other perfectly!

These two boys can't stay in their current foster home much longer and are desperate to stay out of the shelter. Their Christmas wish is an angel who will take them both!

💛 Tatertot is a sweet, gentle boy with stunning eyes and a tender heart. He thrives on routine, consistency and a calm home life. New people and situations can be scary for him at first, but once he trusts you, he becomes the most loyal cuddle bug and devoted lap dog. His confidence blossoms when he’s around other dogs — especially his best buddy, Petey — who helps him remember that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.

🏡 Tatertot’s perfect home would have:
- A fenced-in yard for safe playtime
- No young children (he prefers a peaceful environment)
- Ideally, another friendly dog to show him the ropes and help him feel secure

💙 Petey is everything you could want in a puppy: brave, bouncy and full of joy. At just 8 months old, he’s a social butterfly who adores people, dogs, toys and food (especially food!). He’s always ready for an adventure or a good snuggle, and his favorite thing in the world is playing with Tatertot.

While they don’t need to be adopted together, they would love to be. They share a special bond that brings out the best in both of them🐶

These two have their adoption fee fully sponsored if they go home together!💞
