Congratulations, it's kitten season.

Right now, it's just a few babies.

Some are bold. Some are brave. Some are still learning that people aren't so scary.

We're looking for foster homes willing to spend a few weeks cuddling kittens or helping a shy cat build confidence.

We provide supplies, medical care, and support. You provide the love.

Learn more and apply to foster at acskc.org/foster.

This morning, Oprah made the trip to Penn Vet for a life-changing surgery.

Through Lesley's Place, Oprah was given the opportunity to have her mammary masses removed by the incredible team at Penn Vet. For a dog who arrived at ACSKC with significant medical needs, today marks a huge step forward.

Her surgery was successful, and now her job is simple: rest, recover, and enjoy life in her foster home while she heals.

Once she's ready, Oprah will be available for adoption and looking for a family to call her own.

Today, we're celebrating a fresh start for a very deserving girl.

When Sage and Saint were puppies, we couldn't keep up with the applications. They were adopted almost immediately.

Today?

Crickets.

They're a little older.
A little bigger.
A little wiser.
But they're still smart, affectionate, fun-loving dogs with their whole lives ahead of them.

Somewhere between puppyhood and adulthood, the interest disappeared. Maybe it's time to look beyond the puppy phase.

FOUND PET!

This sweet girl was found at Toal Park in Galena sometime last week. Unfortunately, we do not have the exact date she was found. She is said to be incredibly well-behaved and in very good health. She is not microchipped or spayed, and she was not wearing a collar when she was found.

Please reach out to ACSKC at 410-778-3648 if this is your pet or if you have any information on this puppy!

**This dog is NOT at ACSKC, but is with the finders.**

We've zoomed in on a few of our residents. Think you can identify them from just a nose, ear, paw, or tail?
