We’re a little late posting, but we have some VERY exciting news to share! ❤️

🏡 Luna, Ruckus, Nani, Angel, and Jettson have ALL been ADOPTED! 🏡

Five animals who were once waiting behind shelter doors are now exactly where they belong — HOME. 🥹❤️

We are so incredibly thankful to each family who chose adoption and opened their hearts and homes to one of our animals. Every adoption means so much, not only for the animal going home, but for the next one who may need us.

Happy tails, Luna, Ruckus, Nani, Angel & Jettson! 🐾❤️ We hope your new lives are filled with comfy beds, lots of treats, endless love, and all the happiness you deserve!

FIVE ADOPTED. FIVE HAPPY ENDINGS. 🎉🏡🐾

ADOPTED TOGETHER
🐾💕 Sisters Nani & Angel Are Looking for Their Ticket Out of Here! 💕🐾

Nani and Angel are sweet sisters who are more than ready to trade the shelter for a home of their own. 🏡❤️ They do not enjoy being here with all of the dogs barking, and we can’t blame them! They’re ready for somewhere quieter where they can finally relax and feel at home.

These girls would LOVE to stay together if possible. 🥹💕 If you have room in your heart and home for two sweet sisters, come meet Nani and Angel!

🐱 Spayed
💉 UTD on vaccines
🩺 UTD on flea/tick prevention
💙 Microchipped

😾🔥 FEROCIOUS FRIDAY! 🔥😾

Look at Mirabel showing us her ferocious side today! 😂 Don’t let that face fool you though—there isn’t a mean bone in this girl’s body. She was actually just meowing at us because she wanted attention. And with Mirabel, there’s no such thing as too much love! 🥹💕

She is the sweetest little attention seeker and would happily soak up love all day long. ❤️

Mirabel isn’t quite ready for adoption yet, but give her a couple more weeks and she will be! Even better, all FOUR of her sisters will be ready too! 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

We will update when they are available. 😊

🎉❤️ SNOOP WAS SAVED! ❤️🎉

Our longest resident, Snoop, was adopted the day before he was scheduled to be euthanized. 😭

We put out a plea for someone to save him—and that plea was answered.

After spending so many days waiting behind kennel bars, Snoop finally walked out of the shelter with a family of his very own. 🏡🐾 His adopter says he is already spoiled rotten and they can’t understand how such a good boy was here for so long. 🥹❤️

But the best part? His adopter didn’t just save one life that day—they saved TWO.

Snoop’s kennel is already occupied by a beagle who came into our care in rough shape and desperately needed a safe place to land. Because Snoop went home, that kennel was open when another dog needed us.

This is why adopting matters. When our kennels are full, one adoption can truly save two lives—the dog who gets to go home and the dog who now has a safe place to stay.

To everyone who shared Snoop’s posts, commented, prayed, talked about him, and helped us get his story out there—THANK YOU. You helped his plea reach the person who saved his life.

Snoop came so incredibly close to never getting this happy ending.

He has a home.
He has a family.
He is spoiled rotten.
And most importantly… he is alive. ❤️🐾

Happy tails, Snoop. You waited far too long for this, but you finally made it home. 🏡😭❤️

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Tod was not able to get neutered today. He will hopefully be neutered next week and be available after! We will do an updated post when he becomes available.
❤️ TOD IS READY FOR HIS TURN! ❤️

Today is a big day for Tod’s best buddy, Copper — he’s being adopted! 🦊🐶 And while we’re so excited to watch Copper head home, we’re really hoping Tod won’t have to wait much longer for his turn.

Tod didn’t come to us in the best shape. He was found on someone’s property thin, covered in fleas and ticks, and scared of everything around him. No one came looking for him, so we’ve had the privilege of watching him slowly realize that people can be kind and that he is safe here. ❤️

And underneath all that fear was the sweetest, most loving boy.

Tod is great with other dogs, keeps his inside kennel clean, and absolutely loves affection. Today he’s headed to the clinic to be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped — one more step toward being ready for the family we know is out there for him.

Copper found his person. Now it’s Tod’s turn. 🦊🐶🏡🐾

🐾 Stormy Had a Good Day Today! 🩷

Stormy got to spend some extra time inside the shelter today, and she was absolutely loving it! 🥹 She played with all the toys she could find, soaked up plenty of extra attention, and of course enjoyed a few treats along the way. 🧸🐾

We also saw some progress with cats today! 🐱 Stormy did better around them than she has before, which made us so happy to see. She is still a young puppy and will need continued guidance, training, patience, and proper introductions in a home with cats, but today was definitely a step in the right direction! ❤️

Stormy has already spent far too much of her puppyhood growing up in a shelter. She deserves a home where she can learn, play, and grow with a family of her own.

She’s ready for someone to give her that chance. 🏡🐾

🐾 A Big Thank You to Lily! 🐾

We want to give a special thank you to one of our amazing volunteers for spending time with us over the last three days! ❤️

She’s helped clean cat cages, spent time loving on our kittens, and given them some much-needed attention and socialization. 🐱💕 Those little moments of playtime and affection mean so much to our shelter cats and kittens while they wait for their forever homes.

We truly appreciate every time she comes to spend time at the shelter and lends a helping hand. Our cats and kittens definitely enjoy having her here too! 🥰🐾

Thank you, Lily, for giving your time and love to our animals! ❤️

🐾 STORMY NEEDS SOMEONE TO SHOW HER THE WORLD! 🐾

Stormy got some much-needed play yard time yesterday, and this girl had a BLAST! ❤️ Running, sniffing, playing, bouncing around — give Stormy some room to stretch those puppy legs and she is ready to GO!

But a few minutes in the play yard isn’t enough for a growing puppy.

Stormy needs a person who will teach her all the things she can’t learn living in a shelter. House manners, leash skills, routines, new places, new experiences, and how to settle down at the end of the day with her family. She needs adventures, toys scattered across the floor, training sessions, car rides and someone who can help turn all that puppy energy into an amazing adult dog.

She’s young, she’s goofy, she’s energetic, and she still has SO much to learn. That’s exactly why she needs a home now.

🐾 Spayed
💉 UTD on vaccines & flea/tick prevention
📍 Microchipped
🐶 Has tested well with some dogs but can be selective

Stormy doesn’t need to spend these important months in a shelter. She needs someone ready to raise a puppy and give her the experiences she needs to thrive.

🚨 Our kennels are full. Finding her a home or rescue is urgent. 🚨

ADOPTED!!!
💔 SNOOP DESERVES MORE THAN 126 DAYS BEHIND KENNEL BARS. 💔

He got some extra time in the play yard today, and sometimes it’s the little things that hit you the hardest.

A little more time to run. A little more time to play. Extra belly rubs, extra attention, and lots of love. For a while, Snoop didn’t have to be a shelter dog waiting for a home — he just got to be a dog. 🥹🐾

And he was SO happy.

Those are the moments that remind us how badly we want more for him. We don’t want his happiest moments to be the extra time we can squeeze into a busy shelter day. We want him to have a yard he can play in whenever he wants, a person who loves on him every day, and a place where he never has to go back behind kennel doors.

Snoop has been with us for 126 days, our kennels are completely full and he’s at risk of euthanasia. He needs someone to finally give him the life he’s been patiently waiting for.

🐾 Neutered, UTD & microchipped
🐕 Has done well with other dogs
🏠 House trained
🦮 Good on a leash
🚗 Loves car rides
🧸 LOVES to play
🚫 No cats

Maybe today was just an extra-long play day…

But we’re hoping one day very soon, we’ll open that kennel door and he will be heading to his new home. 🥹❤️
