A recap of a few fun event with furry friends and lots of happy tails! 🐾💛

We’ve had such a blast at some of our recent events! From striking a pose with our seriously cute (and seriously wiggly) yoga partners at Kitten Yoga, to celebrating National Dog Day with our friends at The Logan Hotel for a paws-itively fun Yappy Hour, it’s been a few weeks to remember!🐶🥂

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, supported Morris Animal Refuge, and helped make these events so special. We can’t wait to see you at our next one! 🐾✨

Meet Rolo! 🐶🐾

This 1 year old pup has had a hard time with shelter life and would love a place he can call home, where he can really decompress and let his true-self shine through!

He has the sweetest eyes and just wants to find his person so he can sit on their feet and show them all of his love.

Want to meet Rolo? Stop by our adoption hours and see this adorable boy for yourself! 🐾💛

Clear the Shelters Recap! 🎉

What an incredible day! Thanks to this amazing community, we sent 13 animals home today, 7 cats and 6 dogs found their forever families! 🐱🐶

Huge thank you to everyone who came out, showed animals, adopted, volunteered, and cheered each other on. Days like this only work because of team effort, and today proved just how powerful our community can be when we come together for the animals.

To every new family who welcomed a pet home last Saturday: thank you, and congratulations! 💛

Let's keep clearing shelters together. 🐾

Pet of the Week: Meet Holland! 🐾

He’s 4 years old, a certified velcro cat, professional lap-warmer and full-time love bug.

He wants to be wherever you are. Working from home? He’s on the desk. Couch time? He’s curled up next to you. Bedtime? He’s already claimed his spot. He’s playful, sweet, and lives for closeness with his person.

Because he loves so hard and craves that undivided attention, he’s looking for an adult-only home where he can be the center of the universe. 🐾

And Holland’s adoption fee is fully sponsored by Arm & Hammer!

Think you’re ready to be Holland’s person? Come meet him! 👀💛

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Today we’re celebrating our amazing adoptable pups: Bruno, Roxie, Rosie, Rolo, and Bentley! Each one of them is hoping this is the year they finally get to celebrate soon in a home of their very own. 🐶💛

And here’s some exciting news: Clear the Shelters is this Saturday! If these five sweethearts are still waiting for their people by then, they’ll be right here ready to meet you, and each of their adoption fees will be waived for the day.

So today, give your pup an extra treat and a belly rub, and if you’ve got room in your heart (and home) for one more, come meet Bruno, Roxie, Rosie, Rolo, or Bentley this Saturday (or today). 🐾

Cotton Candy wants to help us share the news that one of our most loved fundraisers is making its return! Start scrolling through your photos or get those cameras ready because the 2027 Calendar Contest is coming soon!

Prepare to make your pet a star and help our lifesaving mission here at Morris all at the same time! To help you get ready, here are just a few quick photo tips:

📸 The calendar photo size is 8.5x8.5in, make sure your photo can fit/be cropped into those dimensions.

📸 Make sure your pet is the shining star by checking the background, removing clutter or anything else that could distract from their star-power! (and animals only in the photos please!)

📸 Natural light is your best friend! Capture photos with the light in front of your pet, rather than behind and take lots of photos at once to ensure there’s a show stopping one in the batch!

Stay tuned for more details on how to enter and vote!📆
