🐾 A HUGE THANK YOU TO UGLY CHEWS! 🐾

We are SO incredibly thankful to the amazing family-owned business Ugly Chews for sending our shelter pups a box FULL of goodies! 🥹❤️

Enrichment is such an important part of keeping our dogs happy, calm, and mentally stimulated while they wait for their forever homes, and slow chews are an absolute lifesaver around here!

If you guys are looking for amazing slow chews for your own pups, definitely check out Ugly Chews! 🦴🐶 We love supporting a family-owned business that also takes the time to give back to shelter dogs. ❤️

We’ll be posting videos of our pups enjoying all their new goodies soon, so stay tuned for some very satisfying shelter pup ASMR 😉😂🦴

Thank you again, Ugly Chews, for loving on our babies! We appreciate you more than you know! 🫶🐾

Our little Stark Family is getting a BREED REVEAL! 🎉🐺

We’ll be receiving an Embark DNA test kit soon, and we are SO excited to finally find out what makes these adorable little mystery pups who they are! 👀🧬

But of course, we have to make it FUN! 🥳 We’ll be hosting a “GUESS THE BREED” contest before the results come back, with more details on how to participate coming soon!

Start studying those little faces and placing your guesses… because the Stark Family may have a few surprises hiding in their DNA! 😂🐾

Update: Both have been adopted!

🧹🫧 MEET MOP & SWIFFER! 🫧🧹

Meet Mop and Swiffer, our sweet little Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes who are in desperate need of some TLC. 🥺❤️

These girls are around 1 year old and are extremely sweet. As you can see, they came to us in desperate need of grooming, but don’t worry they’ll be getting fully groomed tomorrow! Thanks to Jenn Farmer ✂️🛁

They can be met and spoken for TODAY and will be able to head home after their spay surgeries! 🏡

Their adoption fee is $350 each. Their fee helps ensure their future families are prepared for the regular grooming and upkeep these girls will need so they never end up in this condition again. They are also considered Hero Dogs, meaning their adoption fees help us continue offering reduced adoption fees for animals who may take a little longer to find their forever homes. ❤️

And don’t forget all of our other adult dogs are just $5 for the rest of this month! 🥳🐾

Come meet Mop & Swiffer and help us find these precious girls the loving, well-cared-for lives they deserve! 🥹💕

Mop is the female with less matting.
Swiffer is the one that is completely matted.

We will be posting after grooming photos so stay tuned!🫶

🚨 LAST SATURDAY OF $5 ADOPTIONS!!! 🚨🐾

Tangelo wants to remind everyone that TODAY is the last Saturday of our $5 adoption special this month! 🥳❤️

He would absolutely LOVE to spend his Saturday night cuddled up with his new family instead of sleeping at the shelter. 🥹🏡

Our adoption hall is FULL of amazing dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, shapes, and sizes there’s truly someone for everyone! 🐶✨

Come see us today, meet some of our available babies, and maybe leave with your new best friend for just $5! ❤️🐾

Please SHARE and help us make this last Saturday count! Every adoption opens up space for another animal who needs us. 🏡❤️

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. That’s our best boy, Ralph, on his way home! 💕
