What a fun day! 💕 Our team had such a great time at the adoption event hosted by Avista Senior Living last week!

We brought along Rocky (A021772) and Xena (A022000), who had a wonderful time meeting new people, making friends, and showing off just how special shelter pets can be. 🐶❤️

A huge thank you to Avista Senior Living for inviting us to join the party and helping us promote pet adoption in the community! We’re so grateful for the opportunity to connect with everyone and share the love. 🐾🎉

Here’s to more events, more wagging tails, and more forever homes! 🏡❤️

ARNO’S DAY OUT! 🐾

One of our longtimers, Arno, got a much-deserved field trip away from the shelter for the day, and of course, we had to stop for a pup cup! ☕️

Arno was an absolute gentleman. He LOVED cruising around in the car, soaking up the change of scenery, and especially his pup cup! 🩵 A huge thank you to Dutch Bros for giving us the perfect spot to visit with our shelter pups and make their day a little extra special! ☕️🐾

As much as Arno enjoyed his adventure, what we really want is for his next car ride to be HOME! 🏡 He’s been waiting far too long for someone to choose him.

Come meet Arno and our other incredible adoptable pets. You might just find your new best friend! 🐾

IMPORTANT OFFICE UPDATE 🚨

Frankie has been promoted to Director of Office Shenanigans. 😹💼

With adult supervision, of course, Frankie has been busy exploring the office, playing with anything that looks remotely entertaining, and making sure our workday stays interesting. Because apparently, every office needs a little more cat-ivity! 🐾😂

But Frankie isn’t looking for a desk job, he’s looking for a forever home! 🏡❤️

If you’re ready for a new friend who comes with zoomies and plenty of personality, stop by the shelter to meet Frankie! We think he’d make an excellent addition to your home (and built in entertainment). 😹🐱

Come meet Frankie and see if he’s the perfect fit for you! 💕

Meet Archie! ❤️

When Archie first arrived at the shelter, he was extremely underweight, malnourished, and scared of just about everything.

We’re so proud of how far this sweet boy has come. You’d never have a clue just how much he’s overcome! Archie has discovered how much fun it is to play, has developed a serious LOVE for treats, and is finally finding his brave. 🥰

Now, Archie is ready for the next chapter of his journey, finding a family who will continue to show him just how wonderful life can be. 🏡❤️

If you’d like to meet Archie and see his transformation for yourself, stop by the shelter! You just might be the person he’s been waiting for. 🐶🐾
