Balu has the sweetest wiggles whenever you pay attention to him. He came in as a stray in really rough shape but nothing damped his spirit. He is 5ish years old and in need of regular exercise but not a lot. What he really wants is to have a human by his side. Come meet Balu!

📣Dog of the Day📣

Meet Flynn! 🐾 This handsome 1-ish-year-old Border Collie mix is one smart, energetic, affectionate lovebug. Flynn came to us as a stray, so his past is a mystery—but he’s already showing us what a special boy he is. He seems to have a soft spot for the ladies, though he may be open to male dog friends too. Flynn is looking for an active home that will keep his body busy, his brilliant brain engaged, and his heart full. In return, he’ll give you absolute lovebug status. 💕

Looking for ways to help right now?

We’ve been getting so many kind messages asking how you can continue supporting our animals — and here’s exactly what we need:

• Canned dog food (no chicken-based — lamb preferred)

• Sensitive skin canned dog food for dogs like Balu (pictured below!)

Our dogs would be so grateful for any donations you can spare!

Thank you for always showing up for them.

✨ Two shelter girls. Two beautiful souls. One very important reminder: sometimes you have to slow down to see the magic. ✨

Snuggles and Dalyla recently had a little photo shoot, and these special ladies showed us exactly how beautiful they are. ❤️. Thank you to .llc and for making this happen!

🐾 SNUGGLES�This sporty, smart, active wiggle butt has come SO far. When she arrived, she was in pain because her nails had been allowed to grow into her skin in her previous home. Despite that, she has opened up beautifully in the shelter and is ready to wiggle her way right into your heart — and quite possibly your arms. 💕

She loves walks, staying active, and being with her people. She may be open to a dog roommate, while cats are an unknown. And our best guess is that somewhere in her family tree, a Beagle snuck in alongside some Pit Bull Terrier. 😉 Either way, she’s 100% lovable.

🐾 DALYLA�This lovely spotted princess has spent most of her 7 years living in an outdoor kennel run. She deserves to know what it feels like to have a person of her very own — someone who will take her on daily walks, be her best friend, and show her what life outside a kennel can really be.

Dalyla found a home with small children a little too chaotic for her liking, so she’s looking for a calm, peaceful home where she can decompress and thrive. She prefers male dogs over females, and cats are an unknown. Give her some patience and she’ll show you what a truly lovely girl she is. ❤️

These girls may not be the ones rushing to the front of their kennels to greet you. But please don’t mistake fear for a lack of love. Sometimes the most special dogs are the ones who need you to sit quietly, slow down, and let them come to you. Once they feel safe, you may discover the most wonderful companion hiding behind that initial hesitation. 🥹💗

Let’s help these two beautiful ladies find their people! 🏡

A Meowntain of Kitten Food!!

We are completely blown away.

The community continued to pour out their generosity to us — it’s more than we could’ve ever dreamed of. Even more kitten food has poured in, leaving us overwhelmed by the blessings and the pure love you’ve shown for all our little ones.

A special thank you from Banks, our 5-week-old cutie, and every other kitten currently in our care!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You didn’t just fill our shelves — you filled our hearts.

These kittens are so lucky to have a community like you.

✨adopted✨📣Dog of the Day📣

Meet Reba 🎶🐾
2 years old • Husky/German Shepherd mix • Professional charmer • Part-time forest spirit

Allow us to introduce Reba — a gorgeous, flirty, slightly mischievous girl who has a lot going on behind those clever eyes.

Reba came to us after her human’s health declined and they could no longer care for her. She has spent most of her young life living outside on a chain, so she’s now discovering the finer points of indoor living. She’ll need some patience and consistency while she learns potty training, but this smart girl is absolutely capable of figuring it out.

She has lived happily with another dog and enjoys canine company, but cats and free-roaming chickens are not her people. (Let’s just say her prey drive has opinions.)

Energy-wise, Reba is pleasantly reasonable. She isn’t looking for someone who wants to run a marathon before breakfast. She’s more of a “let’s go explore, then come home and be fabulous” kind of girl.

She is affectionate, social, and wonderfully flirty. And every now and then, you catch a glimpse of something wonderfully wild in her. Not “I should probably chew the couch” wild, but “kick off your shoes, run barefoot through the forest, and follow the moon because surely there’s something magical out there” wild.

There’s something ancient about Reba. Something soulful. Something that makes you feel like she knows a secret about the universe but is waiting to see if you’re cool enough to hear it.

And yes, we think she channels a little of her namesake, Reba McEntire — she’s got the s***k, the attitude, the occasional dramatic vocal performance, and, naturally, some dance moves. 🎤💃

Reba is looking for a home that will appreciate her brains, her sweetness, her sass, and her little streak of wildness and plenty of opportunities to discover what life is like when you’re finally off the chain and part of a family.

Reba is ready for her next chapter. And honey, she’s got the soundtrack already. 🎶❤️

Adoption Fees Completely Waived — Free Forever Homes!

Sweet seniors Braxton & Chester Cheese (dogs) and Bella, Cedrick & Cedar (cats) are ready to be loved.

Braxton has been in the shelter system since May.
Chester Cheese has been waiting patiently since June.
And our precious senior cats Bella, Cedrick, and Cedar have tried so hard to stay resilient… but the shelter is a tough place for older kitties.

A generous supporter has covered all their adoption fees so these gentle souls can finally leave the noise and stress behind and spend their golden years curled up somewhere soft, safe, and full of love.

They’ve waited long enough.

Come meet them and give these sweet seniors the forever home their hearts deserve.

Meet Gnarls Barkley! 🐾

Gnarls is a 2ish year old shy, sweet, and sensitive little cattle dog looking for someone who will take the time to know the real him. He came to us as a stray, so his past is a mystery—but we do know he’s smart, loving, and full of potential.

Don’t let his kennel presence fool you! He’s frustrated being cooped up and can be a completely different dog once he’s out and feeling comfortable. Gnarls would thrive with an active family who appreciates the intelligence, energy, and quirks that make cattle dogs so special.

He’s doing well with other dogs so far and may enjoy having a canine companion (or two) in his new home. ❤️

If you’re looking for a sensitive, smart boy to grow with, Gnarls might just be your guy!
