Happy Day! Russ Has Been Adopted! 💕🐶🐾

We had a feeling Russ wouldn’t be with us for long! With his adorable face, easygoing personality, and just-right size, he was the kind of dog who could fit seamlessly into almost any family.

Now, Russ is settling into his forever home, and the best part? He has a big sister to help show him the ropes and keep him company for plenty of playtime and adventures.

These photos say it all. Just look at those happy faces! Russ is clearly loving his new life, and seeing him so content is the icing on the adoption cake!

Russ, we couldn’t be happier for you. Wishing you a lifetime of love, fun, and happiness in your forever home. Have the best life, buddy!

Daffodil has been adopted! 💛🐈🐾

We always hope that once a mama kitty’s babies find their homes, she’ll find hers soon after, and that’s exactly what happened for sweet Daffy.

When her adopter came in looking for a cat who would do well with dogs and other cats, we knew Daffodil would be the perfect match. And Daffy seemed to know it too as she immediately warmed up to her new person like she had been waiting for them all along.

We love when everything falls into place just like that!

Congratulations, Daffy! We’ll miss seeing you greet everyone who walks into the cat room, but we’re so happy you found the loving home you deserve.

Holly has found her forever family! 💕🐾🐶

Just a week ago, Holly had no idea her life was about to change forever. Now, she’s heading home to a family with five furry siblings, endless space to run and roam, and all the love she could ever dream of.

Watching her journey unfold has been such a joy, and we can’t imagine a more perfect happily-ever-after for this sweet girl.

Have the most amazing life, Holly, you deserve every second of it!

Meet Zoe! 💕🐶🐾

Zoe is a stunning Great Pyrenees with a huge heart. She’s incredibly friendly and loves everyone she meets: people, children, other dogs, and just about any new friend lucky enough to cross her path.

Zoe previously lived with a large family and several small children who absolutely adored her. Unfortunately, they realized they couldn’t give her the time and attention she truly deserves, and Zoe began trying to escape her fenced yard in search of more companionship and stimulation.

At her core, Zoe is a devoted companion who simply wants to be close to her people. She would thrive in a home where she can get plenty of love, attention, and time with her family. While she enjoys the occasional hike or neighborhood jog, Zoe is happiest being a giant, fluffy lapdog soaking up affection.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and gentle best friend, Zoe may be the perfect match.

Zoe’s adoption fee is $200 which includes the spay/neuter, microchip, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm test (Zoe is negative!), and she is up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Lucky has officially found his forever home! 🐾🐶💕

We had a feeling he wouldn’t be with us for long, but sweet little Lucky was adopted within 24 hours of being posted, which might just be a new record.

Honestly, we can’t say we’re surprised. Between his adorable face and easygoing personality, Lucky made hearts melt everywhere he went.

Lucky, we hardly knew you, but we couldn’t be happier for you and your new family. Wishing you a lifetime of love, cuddles, and happy adventures! 💛

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

As we reflect on their courage and service, we also remember the loyal military dogs and animals who served alongside them, offering protection, companionship, and unwavering devotion.

Today, we’re grateful for the freedoms we share and the compassion that connects us all. Whether you’re spending the day with family, friends, or furry companions, we hope you take a moment to remember those who gave so much.

From all of us at TLC, thank you to our heroes, both human and animal. ❤️🐾

*Please remember: holiday festivities can be stressful for pets. Keep them safe indoors, provide plenty of fresh water, and make sure ID tags and microchips are up to date.

Happy Friday! 💕🐕🐾

After seeing Maya finally go home this week, it’s made us especially reflective about some of our other long-term residents, particularly sweet Marlee and Tonks. They’re both incredible dogs with so much love to give. They thrive here, greet us with happy faces every morning, and somehow manage to charm every single person they meet. Which makes us wonder… how are they still waiting for families of their own?

While we can’t explain why they’ve been overlooked, we do know this: whoever adopts them is going to be unbelievably lucky.

We just got in some new bandanas, and naturally Marlee and Tonks were the perfect models. 💛 Please enjoy these adorable photos, and, more importantly, share this post to help these beautiful pups finally find the forever homes they deserve.

After far too long of a wait, Maya has finally found her forever home! 💕🐶🐾

Sometimes there’s simply no explanation for why certain animals stay at the shelter so long. Maya was a staff favorite from day one. Everyone loved taking her on walks, spending time with her in the play-yard, and getting to know her sweet, goofy personality. Yet somehow, she waited two whole years for her perfect match.

We truly believe the DDO program was instrumental in helping Maya find her people, and her incredible DDO partner who took her out several times a week and even paid for private behavioral classes to help her shine, really deserves to be highlighted. That dedication, patience, and love made all the difference, and we are beyond grateful.

Maya’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the right person is worth waiting for. And when they finally come along, it makes the journey that much sweeter.

We are so unbelievably happy for you, Maya, you little rascal. Enjoy every moment of your new life! We already miss you so much! ❤️
