Happy Tails: Jaxson

This Halloween, we have a treat to share, and there’s no trick about it.

Two and a half years ago, Jaxson went home with his new family. Back then, he was a lovely, shy boy who wasn’t quite sure what to make of the world. It took him about three months to realize he had finally found his forever home. Once that clicked, the real Jaxson came out.

Today, Jaxson is a goofy, cuddly, 65-pound bundle of muscle. He’s wonderful with kids and makes friends with the dogs he meets at the dog park. His family says he brings joy to everyone in the home, including their elderly mom, and they call that joy simply priceless.

Shy dogs sometimes need a little extra time to show us who they really are. Jaxson’s story is a reminder of what can happen when someone gives them that time. Thank you to Jaxson’s family for their patience, their love, and for sharing this update with us. We couldn’t ask for a sweeter Halloween treat.

October is Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) Month!

A big thank you to our incredible RVTs and medical staff for everything you do to care for animals in both our clinic and shelter. We couldn’t do what we do without your knowledge, compassion and dedication.

Throughout October, we’ve taken time to celebrate our amazing team and recognize the important work they do every day. We also made time for some hands-on learning and a refresher on essential skills, including animal CPR!

Thank you for all that you do. Happy RVT Month!

Midday Mood Boost: Meet Gusie!

Gusie is a friendly, independent fellow who loves having his people nearby while still enjoying a little room to do his own thing. He’s happy to accept pets and may even settle in for a lap visit when the mood strikes, and when he’s had his fill, he’ll simply wander off with no hard feelings.

Playtime is a big hit with Gusie, especially anything involving a laser pointer. Get ready to watch him chase that little red dot! He’s also comfortable around dogs, making him a great fit for a home with a canine companion. Gusie has a heart murmur, so his new family will want to chat with their vet about any recommended monitoring.

If you’re looking for an indoor buddy who brings fun, independence and affection on his own terms, Gusie could be your perfect match.

Midday Mood Boost: Meet Peanut!

Peanut is a little bundle of love with a big personality and an even bigger desire to be part of everything you do! This sweet, smart girl is affectionate, playful, and always ready for an adventure, with a talent for snuggling that could put a professional cuddle champion to shame. She adores her stuffies, loves meeting new friends, and enjoys a car ride with a little breeze through the window. Peanut is looking for a patient, loving home with someone around much of the time, and she’d be thrilled to have a playful canine sibling to keep up with her. In return, you’ll get a loyal little shadow, endless cuddles, and a best friend ready to give you her whole heart!
