It's after 8 PM and your local York County Shelter team is pulling another late night. All the hoarding dogs haven't been processed yet but the staff is working diligently to provide them and our resident animals all the care they need. These dogs have a journey that will entail medical care and rehabilitation ahead of them. But as of last night, they got their first chance at a fresh beginning.

Thank you to the officers that worked throughout the night to get them into safe keeping, to our staff that has been continually working to provide them care, to our community for their continued support through donations and prayers, to our volunteers that took extra time to support our efforts today, and to the people that make a difference by saying something when they see something.

It truly takes a village to save lives and we are thankful you are ours.

๐Ÿ‘’MEET ALLIE: THE LADYLIKE KITTY

My name is Allie and if you are looking for a quiet, gentle, and cuddly best friend then I just might be the one for you!

I arrived at the shelter as a stray but at the very second my shelter family met me, they knew I was not made for the outdoors! Not me, I am COUCH POTATO material! So I have spent my time at the shelter enjoying the accommodations (good food, comfy blankets, and lots of scratches) until my forever family comes and finds me. I have quickly become a shelter favorite for my kind and gentle demeanor and how polite I am - I pretty much spend all day sitting on my bed waiting for someone to notice me. The second you open my door, I will firmly press my forehead to yours for the cat form of a bear hug!

I havent shown any negative reactions to other cats at the shelter, but considering how docile and sweet I am, I wouldn't want any other kitties to try and play rough with me! I would do wonderfully as a lap cat - as long as your near me, I'm happy!

I am up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, current on prevention, FIV/FeLV negative, and patiently waiting for my new family!
