🚨OUR BABIES NEED YOUR HELP🚨
We are so grateful to our community for supporting us and always bringing in such incredible donations for our animals! Our adults get plenty of donations, but sometimes are little ones can be forgotten about. We are in desperate need of Puppy and Kitten wet/dry food as well as clumping cat litter. 💔
As a shelter that receives only $1,000 annually from our government, we rely on our incredible supporters to keep our animals fed and cared for. If you are able, we would be so grateful for any donations of the items shown here. 🐶❤🐱

Morris, Abigale, and Marnie really need your help. Puppies are usually adopted very quickly from the shelter, but for some reason, these 3 have stuck around longer than any puppy ever should ❤️‍🩹
The most formative years of their lives are being spent in a kennel, and our hearts break for them. They are also outgrowing their puppy kennels and truly need to be in a home learning to be their best. ♥️🐾
Their adoption fees have been reduced, but it is not because they aren’t worth the same as any other puppy— we are just desperate for them to find their forever families, and we are doing everything we can to make that happen🥺
Please come in to meet these 3 precious pups and see why they have been staff favorites for so long. 🤩💕
