🐾 LONG-TERM RESIDENTS: STILL WAITING FOR THEIR HAPPY ENDINGS! 🐾

Some of our shelter residents have been here so long, we're starting to think they believe they work here. 😅

While we love having them around, we'd much rather see them taking over someone's couch instead of occupying a kennel!

❤️ These sweet faces have watched countless other animals come and go, and they're still patiently waiting for someone to choose them.

The numbers on this flyer represent how many days each animal has been waiting for a forever home. That's a whole lot of days without a couch to call their own!

🏡 Let's turn those days of waiting into days of being loved!

Even if you aren't looking to adopt, sharing this post could help one of these deserving animals find their person. Sometimes all it takes is the right person seeing the right face. ❤️

🏨🐾 NO VACANCY AT THE KENNEL INN! 🐾🏨

We've got too many guests and not enough rooms! Our furry residents have officially filled the place, and while we love having them, we think it's time they upgraded to some more permanent accommodations! 😂

To help our guests check out and into their forever homes, we're offering a 3-DAY ADOPTION SPECIAL!

🐱 Cats: $20
🐶 Dogs: $80
🐾 Puppies: $120 (4 months & under)

📅 October 20th–22nd ONLY!

Our guests come with plenty of personality, unlimited love, and absolutely no intention of paying rent. All they're missing is someone willing to give them a permanent room!

Every adoption helps us make space for another animal in need, so come help us turn some vacancies into happy homecomings!

🐾 MONDAY ADOPTION ROUNDUP! 🐾

Another week, another group of shelter residents who packed up their imaginary belongings, checked out of their kennels, and upgraded to a life of couch privileges and unlimited belly rubs! 😂❤️

We couldn't be happier for all the lucky cats and dogs who found their forever homes this past week!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who adopted and gave these sweet faces a place to call home. 🏡🐶🐱

Here's to happy tails, full food bowls, and absolutely zero contributions toward rent! 🐾❤️

🐾👵 SENIOR SPOTLIGHT SUNDAY: THE GOLDEN GIRLS EDITION! 👵🐾

🎶 Thank you for being a friend... 🎶

Move over, Blanche and Dorothy! We've got two Golden Girls looking for a retirement home, and they come with a combined 26 pounds of sweetness, gray hairs, and sisterly love! ❤️

💕 Meet Lady & Trudy! 💕

🐶 Lady (7.5 years young) – Every dynamic duo needs a shy one! Lady is our more reserved little lady who prefers to take her time getting to know new people. She's not one to rush into new friendships, but luckily, she's got her sister to show her the ropes! Lady looks to Trudy for reassurance and often follows her lead when meeting new people.

🐶 Trudy (7 years young) – The social butterfly of the family! Trudy is happy to meet new faces and doesn't mind taking the lead when it comes to making friends. She's the confident sister who helps Lady feel a little more comfortable navigating the world.

These two sweet seniors came to us as owner surrenders, and while their circumstances have changed, one thing hasn't: they still have each other. ❤️

🩺 A little about their health: Both girls are heartworm negative and have been spayed. Trudy had mammary masses discovered and removed during her spay, and she also has a mild heart murmur. We want their future family to be aware of her medical history so they can provide the care she deserves throughout her golden years.

🏡 Their retirement wish list? A loving home, patient humans who will give Lady time to settle in, and most importantly, a place where these sisters can stay together!

We're hoping to find a family willing to open their hearts and home to BOTH girls. After all, they've already spent so much of their lives together. We'd love nothing more than to see them enjoy their golden years side by side.

Two seniors. One forever home. A whole lot of love. 🥹❤️

☕🐾 PUP CUP ROLL CALL!

We know your pets have heard those magical words before…

“Do you want a pup cup?”

And suddenly they’ve never been more attentive in their entire lives. 😂

So today, we want to see the evidence.

📸 Drop your best pup cup pictures in the comments!

We’re talking whipped cream noses.
Whipped cream eyebrows.
Heads completely inside the cup.
The “I haven't eaten in 47 years” face.
And, of course, the intense stare when they realize the cup is EMPTY. 👀

Dogs, cats, or any other four-legged pup-cup connoisseurs are welcome.

👇 Show us your pet in full pup-cup mode!
