Utah’s biggest adoption event is just around the corner, and this year we’re bringing shelters and rescues from across Utah together for one BIG weekend of adoptions. 🐶🐱

This is more than an adoption event. It’s a chance to clear kennels, find forever homes, and create space for the next animals who need help. The more rescues and shelters that join us, the bigger the impact we can make. ❤️

Meet Beanie!

At just 5 months old and 21 pounds, Beanie is a brown merle Catahoula Leopard Dog mix with a whole lot of puppy personality packed into one adorable package.

She’s curious, playful and ready for toys, snacks, adventures and plenty of zoomies. Beanie is still learning all the important puppy things, so she’ll need a family who is ready to help her grow into the wonderful adult dog she’s meant to be.

Beanie has been waiting at the shelter since August 21, and she’s ready to find a family of her own.

Could Beanie be your new best friend? Email [email protected] with questions.

We need kitten formula ASAP.

We are right in the middle of kitten season, which means our foster families are caring for kittens of all ages every single day. Due to a recent formula recall, we are switching to a new formula and need to get our supply stocked back up quickly.

Formula is essential for the tiniest kittens in our care, especially those who are orphaned or need supplemental feedings. With kittens continuing to arrive, keeping formula on hand is critical to making sure our foster families have what they need to care for them.

If you’d like to help, our Kitten Wish List has been updated with the formula we are switching to.

You can find the link below. Every donation helps us keep our smallest residents fed and cared for.

We’re excited to share that HB 87, Biscuit’s Bill, is officially on the ballot for the 2026 Best of Utah Awards! 🐾🏆

This bill means so much to us and to the animals who can spend months stuck in legal holds, waiting for a resolution before they can move forward with their lives.

If you believe animals deserve a second chance, we’d love your vote! 🗳️❤️

To make your vote count, you’ll need to vote in 10 total categories, but you only have to vote once.

Thank you for continuing to show up for animals in our community. Bills like Biscuit’s Bill happen because people care, speak up, and take action. We couldn’t do this without you! 🐶🐱

Vote for HB 87, Biscuit’s Bill, and help us keep making Utah a better place for animals.

🐶💗 Happy National Dog Day! 💗🐶

These are just a few of the amazing dogs we have waiting for their forever homes. What better way to celebrate National Dog Day than by giving a dog a family of their own?

Come on in and meet your new best friend! We’re open until 6 PM today. 🐾

And once you adopt, come celebrate with us at Petapalooza in just a few weeks! We can’t wait to see you there with your new best friend!

We’re already $70,200 toward our $257,000 goal for the Furever Gala with a Purrpose. ❤️

This isn’t just about renovating kennels. It’s about creating spaces that reflect the way we care for animals today. Our kennels were built in 1991 for a three day stray hold model. Today, we are a no-kill shelter, and some animals need us for much longer.

They deserve comfort. They deserve space. They deserve a place that feels like a step toward home.

Every ticket, donation, sponsorship, and share helps us get closer to giving them just that.

🎰 Early bird ticket pricing ends soon!
Join us November 6 for an unforgettable evening with a purpose.

And keep tagging the businesses you want to see step up and help us make this happen. You never know who might see it and decide to be part of something that matters. 🐾

🎟️ Purchase your tickets or make a donation through the link https://cbo.io/app/public/bidapp/furevergala

$70,200 down. $186,800 to go. Let’s build something better for them. ❤️
