We are so so grateful for Cathy Bissell and the Bissell Pet Foundation! ✨💙💚

Here is the truth that the animal welfare sector has been slow to say out loud: We will never adopt our way out of this…

🌧️ On a rainy day like today, Nuggy shouldn't be spending her time alone in a kennel.

She should be curled up on a couch, snoozing at someone's feet, or soaking up cuddles from her new family. 💛

Nuggy is an approximately 2-year-old Beagle mix with a calm, gentle personality. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her an easy addition to many different homes. If you're looking for a laid-back companion who enjoys being around her people, Nuggy may be the perfect match.

The best part? She's ready to go home TODAY with an approved application!

🐾 Spayed
💉 Up to date on vaccines
❤️ Current on monthly preventatives
🏡 Available for adoption now

Nuggy has everything she needs except a family to call her own. Let's help make this the last rainy day she spends in a shelter kennel.

Come meet Nuggy today—or share this post to help her find the forever home she deserves. 🐶💕

UPDATE: Scoop's adoption fee has been fully paid for by Jennifer Wilson :) Meaning he is FREE with an approved application!

🚨 LONGEST DOG RESIDENT 🚨

You know that feeling of being picked last?

That's Scoop.

While other dogs have found their families, Scoop continues to wait. Day after day. Week after week.

The sad part? He's an amazing dog.

🐾 1.2 years old
🐾 Neutered
🐾 Good with dogs
🐾 Good with cats
🐾 Good with kids

Scoop has so much potential and so much love to give. He just needs someone willing to give him a chance.

Please help us show Scoop that his forever family is still out there.

Share this post and help us find the person who will finally choose Scoop. ❤️
