🐾💙 IT’S $5 FRIDAY! 💙🐾

Darby is here to tell you It’s amazing what just $5 can do when our community comes together!

Every day, the animals in our care rely on us for food, medications, veterinary care, enrichment, clean beds, and plenty of love while they wait for their forever homes. 🐶🐱

This $5 Friday, we’re asking our community to give just $5 to help us continue providing everything they need.

💙 Donate $5 here:
https://animalorphanage.networkforgood.com/projects/230003-5-friday-s

$5 from one person helps.
$5 from 10 people adds up.
$5 from our whole community can make an incredible difference. 🐾

Can't donate this week? Share this post! Every share helps us reach someone new who may be able to give.

Thank you for continuing to show up for the animals who need us. 💙🐾

Someone tell Rex his tongue is supposed to stay INSIDE his mouth. 😂👅

This handsome, goofy boy has so much personality, and when it comes to his favorite ladies, Rex is a perfect gentleman. 💙 He loves attention, playing with his toys, dipping his toes in the water, going for car rides, and spending time with the women he trusts.

Rex is looking for a very special home that understands exactly what he needs to thrive. He needs a women-only household with no men, no children, and no other pets.

We know that’s a very specific home to find, but we also know his person is out there. Somewhere there’s a woman looking for a goofy, loyal companion who can be her one and only—and Rex is patiently waiting for her. 🥹💙

Until then, we’ll keep sharing his handsome face (and apparently his tongue 👅) as many times as it takes.

Please share Rex and help us reach the woman who might just be his forever person. 🐾

Simon has been adopted!

Simon is 6 years old, a little chunky, and quite possibly the sweetest, chillest boy around. 😂❤️ He just wants a cozy place to nap, plenty of love, and someone to finally call his own.

👑 Simon does prefer to be the only king of the castle, so he’s looking for a home without other cats where he can soak up ALL the attention.

More Simon = more to love. 🥹🐾 Come meet this sweet chunky boy and help us find him his forever home! 🏡❤️
