We could really use a couple of extra helping hands this morning!
We are looking for volunteers to help with dishes and laundry between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM TODAY!
It may not be the most glamorous work, but it makes a HUGE difference for our staff and the animals in our care! Even if you can only spare an hour, we would be so grateful!

Shasta is Sierra’s sweet sister, and she’s just as lovable! While she’s a little calmer than her sister, she still has plenty of playful energy and personality!

This gorgeous girl is a HUGE fan of cuddles and loves nothing more than curling up in your lap for some affection. When she’s not playing or snuggling, you can usually find her soaking up the sunshine in our catio windows! ☀️

Shasta is the perfect mix of playful and laid-back! She enjoys spending time with her feline friends but absolutely LOVES human attention.

Come meet Shasta and see if this sweet girl is the missing piece to your family! ❤️

Meet Sierra! 🩶

43 DAYS in the shelter, and this gorgeous girl is still waiting for her forever home!

Sierra is an absolute social butterfly! She is EXTREMELY playful, affectionate, and full of personality! She loves chasing toys, getting the zoomies, and is completely OBSESSED with catnip-stuffed plush toys! She even carries them around and plays keep-away from her siblings! 😂

Sierra had a rough start to life, arriving at our shelter with a horrible upper respiratory infection. After weeks in isolation receiving treatment and lots of TLC, she has made a full recovery and blossomed into the sweetest, most outgoing girl!

She LOVES people and wants to be wherever her friends are! She would thrive in a home with other cats, or maybe you could even adopt her with one of her siblings!

43 days is long enough! Come meet Sierra and help us find this sweet girl the forever home she deserves!

Sierra is around 4 months old🐾

A little spooky, a whole lot of CUTENESS!

Meet our adorable 10 week old Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix puppies! These tiny boys had parents weighing under 20 pounds, so they’re expected to stay on the smaller side! Perfect for all our small dog lovers! 🐾

These sweet boys are spunky, playful, full of personality, and SCARY cute! They will be neutered soon and ready to head off to their forever homes!

We all know small breeds NEVER last long around here, so don’t miss your chance to add some of this cuteness to your life!

A little reminder: As adorable as these babies are, ALL puppies come with lots of energy, training, patience, and responsibility! Please make sure you are prepared for a LIFETIME commitment before applying or coming by. These sweet little guys deserve stable, loving FOREVER homes, not just a home while they’re tiny and cute!

Reminder: We are closed today for our weekly deep clean, but feel free to fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire on our website! You can also stop by or give us a call tomorrow when we reopen from 12–5 PM! 🐾

At the end of this post a photo of momma is included she is a Jack Russell mix she weighs just 18 pounds🥹
She is now spayed!! No more oopsie litters😉

With the cooler weather rolling in, our dogs and cats could really use some extra comfort! ❤️

Walmart has some amazing fleece blankets at a very affordable price, and they are PERFECT for our shelter!

We use these blankets in every single dog kennel to give our pups a little extra comfort and something soft to snuggle up with. The thinner fleece material is especially helpful because we can wash a dozen at a time without overloading our washing machines! With the amount of laundry we do daily, that makes a HUGE difference!

If you’re stopping by Walmart, please consider grabbing a few blankets for our furry residents! Even donating one or two makes a difference when you have as many animals as we do!

Our dogs and cats would appreciate it more than you know. After all, who doesn’t love curling up in a cozy blanket when it’s chilly outside? 🥹❤️

Thank you for always helping us make shelter life a little more comfortable for the animals waiting for their forever homes! 🐾
