Once again, to this most gracious community of animal lovers, we are in need of your help! We are asking for dog and cat food, and must apologize for asking for specific food, but over the years we've discovered this is what they like!
Because of this economy, people are apprehensive to take on another mouth to feed
and we are not turning over the number of adoptable dogs and cats as we'd like.
Thus, they are with us a lot longer than we'd like, so the need seems to be greater than if these were normal times!
We thank each and everyone of you for your most gracious help during this time in our lives!!!!!!!!!

Guess who will be at Tractor Supply Store tomorrow from 11-1:30?!
It’s Miss Bonnie ❤️
She’s 6 yrs old and she’s looking for a cat-free zone to claim as her own. She loves other people and gets along with other dogs but she was cursed with the beagle bark and was too loud for where she was living. She is house-trained and does know basic commands.
Come out and see this good girl and maybe your fenced in property will be just right for her!

This handsome boy is Milo! He’s been with us for a while due to a disagreement between him and his kennel accommodations. It made it very difficult to discern whether it was us he didn’t like or his temporary home with us. One day a staff member decided enough was enough and got him out.
Turns out he just didn’t like the fact he got locked up and he turned into the happiest goofball! He’s about 1 yr old and loves to play. He’s quite friendly when he’s outside but has the scariest bark in the kennels—don’t worry he’s just complaining! He does like other dogs but needs a slow introduction. He seemed to be interested in our kitties and did not react when some of them showed their own dislike of him but we do not know how he would do in a home with one.
If you would like to meet with Milo let us know!!

Diamond is a beautiful shepherd/lab mix who was brought in because her owners were moving-no fault of her own. She’s 2 yrs young looking for a fun family to spend the rest of her life with. She’s very sweet, likes other dogs, and enjoys going on walks. She’s a goofy girl and definitely worth the visit to see if she’s right for you. Come out and see her!

Adoption Event!
Brownie will be at tractor supply store tomorrow from 11-1pm and she can’t wait to see you!
She’s about 2 yrs old and she loves to run and play. She seems to love everyone and would be great as either a family dog or as a one-on-one bestie—just as long as she’s being loved she will give it right back. She was adopted once but then returned on Christmas Day for ruining the Christmas tree…we hope that the next home she goes to will be her furever home despite her mistakes.

Come say hello to this cutie!
