🐾 We've Been Keeping a Secret! 🐾

Early on Memorial Day, Stella welcomed 9 beautiful puppies into the world! ❤️ Mama and puppies are all doing amazing, and Stella has proven to be a wonderful mother. Mama is a Pit mix.

A special thank you to Nia for staying with Stella all night while she delivered her puppies. We couldn't have done it without her dedication and support.

The puppies are growing like weeds, and their eyes are starting to open! We look forward to sharing more updates as they continue to grow.

🐱 Kitten season is also in full swing! We currently have three cats that are due to have kittens any day now, so our shelter is preparing for a very busy summer.
