Andi is SAFE!!!

A local rescue group reached out for help when this girl took off..
They reached out for help on Day 4 & Nicole got a trap out the same day.. Unfortunately, rain set in for the next day and Andi was nowhere to be seen..

On Day 6, the sighting calls were rolling in.. Nicole went out immediately and actually got eyes on Andi..
The next thing you know, Andi is engaging Nicole and waiting on some yummy chicken. She could probably smell the KFC from Nicole’s car… 🤣.
Nicole tossed her a couple of pieces but could tell that Andi was still a bit wiley…
Nicole knew that she should not get out of her vehicle because Andi was super jumpy..
Soon after, Andi was out of sight so Nicole moved the trap and w/in 30 minutes, Andi was back in the area and was safely trapped..
Onward and upward Andi!
Good luck on your new life!

From a volunteer: (this is the shelter I first volunteered at when I was in HS)

This is Pikachu. He’s completely broken. The treats scattered on the ground have been untouched for hours because he’s too scared to eat. The shelter terrifies him, so I sat with him, hoping to offer a little comfort.

When I returned later with my wife, we tried again. She slowly earned his trust and coaxed him into the hallway, but he froze—paralyzed by fear—until I brought his only friend, Togepi. Watching her eat gave him enough courage to take a few treats from us. He even followed her down the hall, but his bravery didn’t last long. Overwhelmed and defeated, he stopped. So we all just sat together on the cold floor, in the middle of the back hallway.

For a brief moment, he let us in. He leaned into gentle pets, seeking the smallest bit of solace in an unbearable place. But when it was time to go back, he couldn’t do it. He was too scared to move. My wife had to carry him.

Pikachu has no chance here. He’s too fragile, too lost. He desperately needs someone to take him away from this nightmare and show him love and safety. Please help him.

UPDATE ADOPTED💙

URGENT LAST DAY IS 1/22/25
Meet Bromley a male almost 5-year-old lab mix this sweet gentle giant was adopted from our shelter back in early 2022 he is back here due to no fault of his own. His owner has been in and out of the hospital and is really in no shape to take care of him. It’s heartbreaking when he went into the hospital. He was just left outside and the neighbors were feeding him. They also stated that he is a sweetheart. He also lived with cats
This sweet boy has been neutered. He is also heartworm negative. Please come to meet him. He is one sweet boy and deserves a forever home. I can’t imagine how confused he must be.
The shelter is open tomorrow from 11 to 4. Please come to meet this beautiful sweet boy.
