This past weekend, we celebrated a truly special moment as our beloved long-term residents, Echo and Bocephus, finally made their way to their forever homes! ❤️🏠

These "pupdates" are truly the best, and seeing these sweet dogs embark on new adventures fills our hearts with joy.

We're incredibly happy for Echo, Bocephus, and all the other wonderful pups who found their loving families.

After spending considerable time in the shelter system, witnessing them FREE and in the arms of people who adore them warms our hearts immensely.

We can already picture all the snuggles, cuddles, and adventures that await them! ❤️

Loretta Lynn: From Abandoned and Scared to Shelter Sweetheart!

Of course you know the country music 🎶 star, but now it's time you meet one of our own kitty stars ⭐!

Loretta Lynn is a cat who was never picked up after her TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) appointment.

What started as an unfortunate abandonment has turned into a beautiful transformation! Not only is Loretta Lynn sweet, but she's absolutely stunning too!

Initially, Loretta was understandably scared and withdrawn. Being left behind was undoubtedly confusing and frightening for her. However, with the consistent love and patience of our incredible volunteers and staff, Loretta has absolutely blossomed!

She's gone from a shy, hidden cat to a social butterfly! Now, you can often find Loretta Lynn proudly perched on the shelves, loudly meowing for attention, making "biscuits" with her paws, and charming everyone she meets. She loves interacting with people and has truly come out of her shell.

Loretta Lynn dreams of a forever home where she can continue to thrive. She'd be happiest in a home that offers the best of both worlds: a safe indoor environment with the exciting option of supervised outdoor time. Think a secure catio where she can soak up the sun or leisurely strolls in a harnessed backyard adventure!

Could you be the loving family Loretta Lynn has been waiting for? 🏠Come meet this incredible, resilient cat and see her amazing personality and beauty for yourself!

Jace: The Dog 🐶 Behind the Mural

When we envisioned a special mural for our newly renovated shelter, we wanted to feature an animal whose story truly embodies the transformative power of love and resilience. While every animal who comes through our doors is special, some stories resonate deeply and deserve to be celebrated in a big way. And that's exactly why we chose Jace.

Jace's journey began with uncertainty, left behind at a local campground and homeless for months. But his path led him to Animal Harbor, where he found safety, nourishment, and crucial treatment for heartworm disease. Medically cleared and with a newfound zest for life, Jace was ready for his next chapter.

Meanwhile, a family was navigating unimaginable grief after the tragic loss of their beloved daughter. In their profound sorrow, Renay gently encouraged her husband, Tim, to consider opening their hearts and home to a dog. They reached out to Animal Harbor, and while one dog initially caught their eye online, it was Jace who stole their hearts during their meet and greet. The moment Jace ran to Tim, laid at his feet, and looked up at him, they knew—he was meant to be theirs.

Jace and his new family quickly became each other's reason to not only survive but to truly live again. Jace became even more than a beloved companion; he is Tim's service dog, a constant source of comfort and support. Their bond is a beautiful testament to how love saves, heals, and brings light even in the darkest of times—proving that pet adoption can truly save a human life.

Today, Jace and his family made a special trip to visit us. What they thought was an ordinary visit turned into an emotional surprise! We were thrilled to reveal the mural created in Jace's honor, celebrating his incredible journey and the profound impact he's had. Happy tears flowed, a testament to the powerful connection they share.

Jace's story powerfully illustrates the incredible human-animal bond. It strengthens our mission to connect homeless animals with their forever people, because we believe that more lives can be saved—on both ends of the leash.

Three cheers for Cedric 🐈, Nicholas🐈, and Arrow🐈‍⬛! What a fantastic day for these three lucky cats, each finding their forever homes.

The Green Family welcomed Cedric Diggory into their hearts, while the Towry family opened their home to Nicholas Sparks. And a special shout-out to Mr. Collins, a repeat adopter, who has given Arrow a loving home once again.

It's wonderful to see three families grow by four paws each. Congratulations to everyone involved in these purr-fect adoptions! 🐾❤️🐾

Every lost pet dreams of a day like this! For Luka, a missing dog for three long weeks, that dream came true when he wandered onto the doorstep of a compassionate Animal Harbor supporter. Talk about a lucky break! 🍀

Within minutes, our incredible friend made sure Luka was safe, fed, and watered today. You could tell by how quickly he gobbled up his meal that he knew he was finally out of harm's way! 🐾

Then, Animal Harbor jumped into action! Emily and the team worked to confirm Luka's identity and, thanks to their dedication, became the vessel for a truly heartwarming reunion.

Not all lost pet stories end happily, and we know many end tragically. But today, we're celebrating a joyous victory!

Luka is finally back in the loving arms of his family, and we couldn't be happier.

Happy Reunion Day, Luka and family! We're sending all our love and paw-sitive vibes your way! ❤️🏠

Happy National Kitten Day from Animal Harbor 🐾

Today, July 10th, we celebrate all things tiny, purring, and adorably chaotic – kittens! But for us here at AH, National Kitten Day holds a special, and sometimes bittersweet, significance.

"Kitten season" is our busiest and most challenging time. We're talking about dozens, sometimes hundreds, of vulnerable little lives arriving at our doors, many needing urgent medical attention.

From abandoned newborns requiring round-the-clock bottle feeding to litters suffering from severe infections, our team is constantly responding to kitten emergencies. The sheer volume puts an immense strain on our resources – space is limited, medical supplies are constantly in demand, and our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure these fragile babies get the care they desperately need.

That's why today, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible individuals on the front lines: our staff, who show up day after day with unwavering compassion, and our incredible foster families, who open their homes and hearts. You are the unsung heroes, providing comfort, warmth, and a second chance to so many abandoned and vulnerable kittens. Your dedication makes all the difference!

But our work is far from over. While we celebrate these precious lives, we also know there are countless more out there who need us.

How You Can Help This National Kitten Day:

🐈🐈Adopt a kitten (or two!): If you've been considering adding a furry friend, now is the perfect time! Giving a kitten a forever home frees up much-needed space for the next vulnerable arrival.

🏠Become a foster parent: The need for foster homes, especially for young kittens, is critical. Even a few weeks of care in your home can save a life and prepare a kitten for adoption. We provide the training and support!
