We recently hit a big milestone - something that, for years, we could only dream of reaching…

Artichoke’s six month adoptaversary. ❤️🥹

The last line of the update text from his Mom reads, “He’s been the bestest boy and he’s our favorite part of each day ♥️”

That is all we have ever wanted for our sweet, special guy and the thing that makes every bit of emotional exhaustion and heartache that we experience in this line of work worth it.

We are SO thrilled beyond measure for Artie and his wonderful family, and we look forward to next month’s update and every single update thereafter. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our little buddy Sparrow is thriving in his foster home, but is on the lookout for a more permanent abode. Could this be you?

Sparrow was found with a broken leg and the animal control officer was called to bring for euthanasia. But the officer had a differing opinion and brought him to us.

🧡He got leg surgery and is up for adoption through Wallingford Animal Control. He in foster by our employee to spare going back to the shelter.

He needs a furever home! He is young, gets along with dogs and cats and is a love!!🥰🥰

Check these out! Some of the students at High Road School drew these amazing pictures of our adoptable pups to help find them homes! We’re so impressed and so honored that they took the time to do this for us. We will most definitely be hanging these in our office! 🫶🏻

Thanks so much to these super talented kiddos!

Man, we have really been in need of some GOOD news lately, and today we sure got it!

It admittedly took us a surprising amount of time to place our awesome little guy, Olaf; between a couple of failed potential adoptions that never made it past dog-dog intro stage, and finding folks compatible with his truly boundless energy.

Though extended stays are obviously not IDEAL, as long as the animal is tolerating it well enough, it’s A-okay with us. Our preference is *always* going to be to aim for best match for the animal rather than rushing them out the door as quickly as possible.

Some may disagree with that, BUT because we did take our time, Olaf ended up with these wonderful folks - and, man oh man, has he struck pure gold! Little bub has no idea how much his world is about to change - but he’ll figure that out really soon, because his new Mom and Dad are going to spoil him rotten!

We are SO beyond thrilled that Olaf finally has a family of his own to him appreciate him for the vibrant, sparkling little gem that he is!

Congrats and happiest life, y’all! 🐾❤️
