We Need Your Help to Create a Night of Rescue Magic at our Happily Fur-ever After-All Fur Love Event.

Happily Fur-ever After – A Night of Rescue Magic is only one month away…... and this event is what makes our life-saving work possible. This fundraiser determines how many animals we can save in 2026 and every year, because of YOU, more pets find safety, healing, and their fur-ever homes.

Right now, we’re reaching out to our incredible community and asking for your support. We are seeking donations for our live and silent auctions and truly, no item is too big or too small. Every contribution matters, every gift helps, and every item becomes hope for an animal in need.

* Gift baskets
* Handmade items
*Services, gift cards, décor, art, experiences
*Pet-themed items… and beyond!

If you are a baker, this is also your time to shine with our much-anticipated Annual Cake Auction is back! Showcase your talent, creativity, and frosting magic while helping raise critical funds for rescue animals. All cakes baked and donated to our All-Fur Love event are auctioned off after the guests vote for their favorite cake of the evening.

The room will be filled with wonderful people bidding, laughing, and supporting a mission that changes lives — and your donation helps make that magic happen.

Items may be dropped off at the shelter Tuesday-Friday 1pm--5pm Or we are happy to arrange pickup

We kindly hope to have all donations in by February 2nd so we can prepare them for this unforgettable evening.

This isn’t just an event… it’s compassion in motion. It’s community. It’s second chances. It’s rescue — and we cannot do it without you.

If you’re willing to donate or have questions, please send us a message or call the shelter. Together, let’s create a night of Happily Fur-ever After

I recently had a surrender appointment with two truly kind, lovely women. The conversation was emotional, and full of care for the animal they loved. Which isn’t often. As they were leaving, one of them said something that was meant to be harmless.

“We’ve got to go to our real jobs, but we wish we could just play with puppies like you do.”

They didn’t mean any harm. Not even a little.
But that sentence has sat heavy on my chest

Because animal shelter work is one of the most misunderstood jobs there is.

Yes, we love animals. And people use that against us, abuse it.
Yes, we absolutely treasure the moments where we do get to cuddle a puppy, watch kittens romping around. And being happy.

But that is the smallest sliver of what we do.

What people don’t see are the hours spent making impossible decisions. The intake rooms filled with heartbreak. Having to vaccinate, adminster dewormer preventatives soon as they arrive. They see animals that come in neglected, injured, or shut down, broken. The conversations where we absorb someone else’s grief, guilt, anger, or desperation all at once. And are meant to fix it all right THEN.

They don’t see staff cleaning kennels constantly Advocating for animals that don’t have voices. Fighting burnout while still showing up with compassion. Being screamed at, thanked sometimes, ignored, blamed, looked down on and relied on all in the same day.

Shelter staff don’t “just play with puppies.”
We carry the weight of lives every single day.

And we do it because we believe animals matter.

Because even on the hardest days, saving one life,or giving one animal a chance makes it worth it.

So the next time you think of shelter work, know this.
Behind every wagging tail is a team holding up an entire world you rarely get to see. All while facing personal battles every single day.
They may be heros. But they are humans.

Tis the season… for people dumping cats and kittens.

In the middle of the night — during below-freezing temperatures — this lady drove up to our shelter and dumped a box of kittens at our front door. No blanket. No warmth. No food. No water. Just left them in the cold and drove away.

What a way for these babies to spend Christmas Eve.

Yes, we are grateful they are safe now. Yes, some will say “at least she left them somewhere they’d be cared for.” But let’s be honest — if you cared, you wouldn’t abandon animals in the middle of the night with NOTHING to protect them from the cold.

We understand that life circumstances can be hard — but abandoning animals like this is dangerous and could have life threatening.

No one should have to walk into their Christmas Eve shift wondering if the box on the sidewalk contains frozen kittens. Thankfully, these little ones survived — and the mom was dumped too, which tells us they were owned and cared for before being discarded.

To whoever did this: please do better. Be better. This was NOT the proper way to surrender your animals. If you know who she is, let her know the kittens lived — and we’ll say a prayer she makes better choices in the future.

Tis the season… and we will love them the way they deserved to be loved in the first place.

What an unexpected and wonderful surprise — we have been so spoiled this holiday season by our amazing community! Every day last week (and again this week!) we’ve received goody trays, snacks, treats, and today we were surprised with a beautiful meat and cheese tray.

We truly appreciate everyone who thought of us, especially during such a busy time of year. A special thank-you goes out to the incredible ladies who chose to work today and tomorrow. Our shelter is fully staffed and every animal is being loved and cared for — and what means the most is that these ladies volunteered to be here. Some even signed up for extra shifts to make sure the animals had the very best care. We are so lucky to have them. ❤️

They’re enjoying all the sweet treats and that meat and cheese tray… although we can’t promise the dogs won’t sneak a slice of cheese here and there! 😄

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for always thinking of us and our animals, even when you’re busy with your own families and celebrations. Your kindness means more than you know. Here’s to gaining a few happy holiday pounds from all the delicious goodies! 😋

🎅 Santa stopped by the shelter to visit just a handful of our adoptable dogs, and of course he came bearing extra love and enrichment mats. If they sat for a picture with Santa, they got some special attention—but let’s be honest… they’re always good dogs. ❤️

We truly have some of the best dogs in our shelter right now, all patiently waiting for their forever homes—and I honestly cannot believe how many still have **zero applications**.

Every dog is spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and most get along great with other dogs. These pups would make incredible family dogs and loyal companions.

Enjoy these photos of a few of our dogs telling Santa that all they want for Christmas is a family to love them FOREVER.
Not *until life changes*.
Not *until it gets inconvenient*.
But **forever**—a lifelong commitment, no matter what road your life takes you down. ❤️🐾

If you’re ready for that kind of love, they’re ready for you.
