Hank’s Happily Ever After! ❤️🏡 After 133 days in the shelter system, Hank has found his furever home with the amazing Wilson Family! 🫶🐶 From the moment they met, it was clear that Hank had finally found the love and companionship he’s been longing for.

Hank’s journey hasn’t been easy, but his story now has the happiest ending. He’s traded in shelter life for endless cuddles, belly rubs, and a family who adores him 🥰

To everyone who shared his story, sent well wishes, and rooted for him—thank you! Because of you, Hank is now exactly where he belongs. Happy tails, Hank 🐾❤️

Ladybug has completely won the hearts of her foster family and we're pawsitive that this is a match made in heaven 🥰🏡🐕 Thank you Massey Family for nursing this little beauty back to health and giving her an amazing furever home 🩷🐶

UPDATE: ❤️ ❤️
We're BEGGING someone to please give Hank a chance‼️😭 Hank is soooo smart and loving and just a heck of a great dog 🫶 He's been dealt a string of bad luck with his first adopter passing away in 2022 and his second adopter facing a serious medical condition in 2024 💔 Hank is desperate to have a companion that he can follow everywhere and just keep company. He LOVES going for a ride - on a tractor, golf cart, truck, as long as he's seated next to his person he will ride anywhere with YOU 🥰 Hank adores children, he is extremely gentle and caring when little hands are giving him pets 😉 He walks well on leash and would make a wonderful companion on hikes, a stroll around town or just a peaceful walk in the park. Hank enjoys other dogs and could do well with or without a dog buddy in his next home. Previously, Hank lived on a farm with cattle, goats, cats, and chickens and was very well-mannered with his barnyard friends 🚜 Hank is 4 years old, 57 pounds, fully vetted and ready to be your best friend 🫶 Don't keep this sweetheart waiting, drop by OCAS this week or submit an application online NOW to give Hank his happily ever after 🐾

‼️LADY NEEDS OUR HELP‼️ Her Cherry Eye Surgery will be roughly $1400‼️😭 As many of you may recall this beauty was recently found stray with a very apparent eye abnormality 😔 Cherry eye is a condition where the third eyelid gland, located in the inner corner of the eye, prolapses (protrudes) and appears as a red, swollen mass. While cherry eye itself isn't inherently painful, if left untreated, it can lead to discomfort and complications like dry eye, conjunctivitis, and even corneal ulcers, making it important to seek veterinary care promptly.

Lady is being pampered by a doting foster family and now we just need YOUR HELP to get this little doll into surgery to get her eye repaired so she can live her happily ever after 🙏🩷If you can help, LADY NEEDS YOU‼️🫶 Whether you can donate $5 or $50, every donation will make a difference for Lady 🫶🐕🏡
