Tsk tsk tsk... Chandler has now made himself Naughty Cat of the Week TWO WEEKS IN A ROW 😂.

Chandler decided to throw a tantrum and knock over a treat bin because he figures you may as well throw him a couple as you clean it up 🤣. Whether it's for treats or for attention, he knows a little tantrum can get him what he wants!!

Our Nice Cat of the Week is beautiful Cinq. Cinq likes to hide because she's afraid, but if you talk to her a little and give her some time, she comes out of her hiding spot and will let you pet her ❤. Once she gets petted, she doesn't want to leave you alone after 🥹. Great job, sweetheart! 💕.

Our Nice and Naughty Cats of the Week are available for adoption among so many other pets! We're open from 12 to 7 pm today.

Rachel has a few requests for ...

Belly rubs.

Unfortunately, those can't be ordered from Amazon. 😔

So, she said she'll settle for the next best things: dog treats, fleece blankets, and pate canned cat food! 😂❤️

These are some of the items we need most right now, and every donation helps keep our shelter pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Want to spoil Rachel and her shelter friends? 🥰
Check out our Amazon Wishlist below! 👇

And if anyone figures out how to add belly rubs to an Amazon cart, Rachel would like to know immediately. 😂

❤️ WALLY HAD THE BEST DAY! ❤️

Yesterday was a pretty great day for our handsome 1½-year-old boy, Wally.

It started with a bath, which Wally handled like an absolute champ! 🛁 Afterward, he got to do his favorite thing...

PLAY WITH TOYS! 🎾

Wally LOVES his toys, and watching him zoom around and have the time of his life was so much fun. 🥹

Later, Wally headed outside for a walk, which is another one of his favorite things. He loves taking in all the sights and, especially, all the smells the world has to offer. 🌎🐾

Wally is a smart boy and a willing learner. He does well with other dogs here at the shelter and has even been doing a fantastic job keeping his kennel clean! 👏

He can be a little shy when meeting new people, so we think he'd do best in a home with children over 13 who can give him the time and patience he needs to feel comfortable.

Yesterday was a wonderful day for Wally.

But you know what would make it even better?

Finding a home. 🏡❤️

We're open from 12–7 PM today, and we'd love for you to come meet Wally and all of his shelter friends!

This is Cloud. When he was playing with his friend Misty, Cloud ran out of battery. With no backup batteries available, Cloud had no choice but to recharge. 14/10. CUTE!!!

It's Tuesday, which means we are closed for adoptions today. We hope to see you tomorrow when our Adoption Center is open from 12 to 7 pm!

This past Saturday was our inaugural "Tails On The Trail 5k & 1-Mile Wag & Walk," and we have much to be thankful for ❤.

First, we cannot thank everyone who attended enough. What a gorgeous day it was for this event 💕. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did! Thank you all for supporting SSHS. We'd love to make this a yearly event and would absolutely love to see you all come back next year 🥹.

A huge congratulations to Benjamin Hernandez and Parker Cottrell -- our individual male and female winners of our 5k ❤. You all CRUSHED it!!!! See the full results here: https://results.itsracetime.com/results.aspx?CId=17095&RId=1626&EId=1&dt=1&top=3

We'd also like to thank all of our staff and volunteers working at this event for helping make it go as smoothly as possible. A special thank you to It's Race Time for all of their help ❤. Also, thank you to Alex for taking such beautiful pictures to commemorate a great day!!!

Enjoy these pictures as much as we did!

The many faces of beautiful 1-year-old Golfball 😍. During her photoshoot, she was having a hard time deciding which face to use for her pictures. She kept going back and forth and eventually decided to try out four different faces and have us decide which was best. We can't decide either 💕!

We're open from 12 to 7 pm today! Golfball would be happiest in an adult-only home. Golfball is just one of many waiting to meet you today 🥹.
