Another rescue has asked us for help in placed some teenage kittens into working homes. They need to go in pairs, as 2-2 is already bonded and it will help them acclimate better.

*They are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and given prevention.

*Edit - we have already received numerous applications on Jethro. Please be patient with us as we go through them and continue to get his vetting up to date. Be checking your emails with statues.

Okay cutie, we see you. 👀

Jethro, a 3 month labradoodle that is going to be available for adoption. 🫶🏻

If you’re interested- get your application in - we have a feeling he won’t last long. 💙

🐾 TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! 🐾

Animal welfare doesn’t happen because of one person, one organization, or one shelter. It takes all of us working together. ❤️

Animal Control, rescue organizations, shelters, veterinarians, fosters, adopters, volunteers, and the community all play an important role in helping animals.

🏠 Animal Control helps protect the community, responds to animals in need, reunites lost pets with their families, provides care, and works to find appropriate outcomes.

🤝 Rescues provide another important resource by helping animals who may need specialized placement, foster homes, medical care, or additional time to find the right family.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The public is just as important. Microchipping pets, keeping animals properly contained, spaying and neutering, reporting concerns, fostering, volunteering, adopting, donating, and sharing animals who need homes can make a HUGE difference.

No single group can do it all.

Sometimes an animal needs Animal Control. Sometimes it needs a rescue. Sometimes it needs a foster. Sometimes it simply needs its owner to come looking.

And sometimes… it needs all of us. 🐶🐱

Instead of asking, “Who is responsible?” let’s ask:

“What can WE do to help?”

When Animal Control, rescues, and the community communicate, support one another, and work toward the same goal, more animals get the second chances they deserve. ❤️🐾

Teamwork makes the dream work!
Because at the end of the day, it isn’t about who gets the credit—
it’s about getting the animal home. 🏡🐾
