Full house again. 💔

Our shelter is packed with so many new faces, and every kennel tells the same story: they all had a home until they didn’t.

If you are missing your pet, please come check the shelter. If you have room in your heart and home, please consider adopting.

They are waiting.

We know that after a long weekend usually comes a busy week at the shelter. So many new faces are waiting… some scared, some confused, all hoping their family comes looking for them.

If you are missing a pet, please come check the shelter as soon as possible.

And if your heart has room for a new best friend, come meet our dogs looking for their forever homes. Maybe your next summer adventure buddy is waiting right here for you.

Today, they felt the sun on their fur… and let me tell you, every single one of them soaked up that moment. ☀️🐾
Some smiled, some just stood there quietly taking it all in… but all of them were happy, even if just for a little while.

Then the walk ended… and they went right back to their kennels, still waiting.

If you’re missing your pet, please come check♡ we may have your baby here.
If you’ve been thinking about adopting, come meet them… they’re ready to go home.

Happy to know our sweet Rita is recovering♡ ty for sharing♡

Sweet Rita went to the vet for her spay and her neck was x-rayed and her neck was cleaned again. Rita’s neck has to heal open, so it is taking a longer time to heal.

The vet said if she were left out another week with the collar embedded, she would have died.

Santa Cruz County Animal Care & Control saved her life just in time.

Rita’s bill for this was only $270.

If you can chip in, we’d really appreciate it, so we can keep saving dogs like Rita!
