😻💕 Billy the Kitty has eyes only for his new family! And Butter Cup? She wasn’t too interested in looking at the camera either. 😸❤️ We’d say that’s a pretty good sign they’ve found their people!

Last week, 18 pets found loving homes! Congratulations to all the families who opened their hearts and homes to a new companion.

When you adopt, you change a pet’s life and make room for another pet who needs a second chance. Thank you for being part of that difference! 🐾

Come see us Saturday from 10AM to 2PM at Long Subaru!! Visit https://www.secondchanceanimals.org/adopt/ he morning of the event to see who will be there. 🐶😸

🐱 Wishlist Wednesday with Barrel!

Meet Barrel, a 5-month-old boy with a big request for this week’s Wishlist Wednesday! 💛 As the weather turns cooler, we have some important needs to help pets and the people who love them.

Our most-needed items this week:
🐾 Dry cat food for our Pet Food Pantry
🧻 Toilet paper and paper towels
🗑️ Trash bags
🐾 Lint rollers
🧣 Gently used fleece blankets to help keep pets warm and cozy!

Our Pet Food Pantry supplies food to local human food pantries, helping families keep their pets fed and at home. And as temperatures drop, gently used fleece blankets are especially important for keeping animals comfortable.

How can you help?

Donations can be dropped off at our Adoption Center, 111 Young Road in East Brookfield, anytime or at our other locations during business hours.

You can also shop our wishlist online! Visit our website to find our wishlist. ❤️ You can also learn more about Barrel. With a playful personality and plenty of kitten energy, Barrel loves exploring, having fun, and making the most of every day.
Barrel does have a heart murmur and a deformed sternum, so his adopter will need to be prepared to provide ongoing veterinary care and follow-up as recommended by their veterinarian. If you have room in your heart for a special kitten who may need a little extra care, Barrel could be the perfect addition to your family.

Meet Bella Sara! 💕 This sweet, outgoing 5-year-old Yorkie has a big personality, plenty of charm, and lots of love to share. She's always happy to make new friends and is ready to find her forever family!

Bella Sara can get a little overexcited when meeting other dogs, so she'll do best with patient introductions and a family willing to help her build new friendships at her own pace. Since she hasn't lived with other animals before, she'll need time and guidance as she settles into her new home.

Looking for a little dog with a BIG personality? Bella Sara might just be your girl! 🐾 Come meet this lovely little lady and see if you're meant to be! ❤️
