🤩Showcasing another cutie currently in foster!

👉Mazie! She’s a 5 month old pit mix (if we had to guess). She first arrived to us in October as just a pup, and has gotten overlooked time and time again.

One of our employees decided to take her home for the holidays and she is having a blast! There are dogs, cats and kids in the home and she is great with all of them!

💲As one of our longest residents, her adoption fee is half-price: $60!

✂️ She does need to be spayed before adoption. Contact us if you are interested and we can set up a meet-and-greet!

🎄🐾 Thank You for Making Pictures With Santa Paws a Hit!

We want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our Pictures with Santa Paws event! We had such a wonderful turnout, and it meant the world to see so many smiling faces supporting our shelter animals. ❤️

Our guests enjoyed beautiful crochet items, handmade jewelry, delicious refreshments, and some really awesome door prizes! A big shout-out to our amazing vendors for bringing so much charm and creativity to the event.

This event couldn’t have been possible without our amazing volunteers and staff!

We also want to give a special thank-you to Petsense in London for coming out and supporting us and bringing tons of donations. Your partnership means so much!

And, in true holiday fashion… Santa got super busy at the North Pole 🎅✨ but he made sure not to leave us hanging! He sent his good friend Santa Paws in his place, along with a few cheerful elves, to help spread Christmas magic and take photos with everyone. 🐾🎄

Every dollar raised from this event goes straight toward caring for the animals in our shelter and funding much-needed kennel repairs, so your support truly makes a difference.

Thank you again for helping us kick off the holiday season in the best way possible! ❤️🐶🐱

Stay tuned for results from the raffle and the link to view the photos in the coming weeks!

🎉UPDATE: BRUNO HAS AN ADOPTER!

🐾 Meet Bruno, and a glimpse into the realities we see. 🐾

After we shared our November shelter stats, a few people asked what kinds of situations lead to owner surrenders, especially for senior pets. Bruno is a good example of the tough, complicated decisions we see every day.

Bruno is a 7-year-old Chihuahua who found himself here after his family’s living situation changed. Their adult children moved back home, and one has an autistic child who, being a curious kid, kept messing with Bruno. Bruno never snapped, growled, or acted out. He was incredibly patient. But the family was afraid the situation might eventually go wrong, and for everyone’s safety, they made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him.

Situations like this aren’t necessarily about “bad owners.” They’re often about families trying their best in circumstances they didn’t expect. Our goal is simply to give these pets a safe place to land and a chance to find the right home.

💛 Now Bruno is here, and he is a sweetheart.
He’s friendly, gentle, and heartworm negative.
He just needs to be neutered before adoption, then he’ll be ready to start his next chapter.

If you’re looking for a small senior with lots of love left to give, please come meet Bruno. He deserves a calm home and someone to adore him. 🐶💕

📊 November Shelter Snapshot

Giving our community a transparent look at the numbers, because you are a crucial part of the solution.

In the month of November, our shelter took in:
🐾 121 dogs and cats

Some found loving homes.
Some went to rescue.
Some are still waiting for their chance.
And heartbreakingly, some didn’t make it out at all.

We don’t share these numbers to discourage anyone or cast blame. We share them because awareness creates change. When our community understands the volume of animals coming in and the challenges shelters face, we hope it inspires everyone to step up, be part of the solution, and help us do better for the pets who rely on us.

These numbers aren’t just statistics, they’re lives. And the only way to bring intake down and positive outcomes up is through community action:

✨ Spay & Neuter your pets.
✨ Adopt, Don’t Shop. Choose rescue animals first.
✨ Share, volunteer, donate, foster. Every bit of support helps us save more lives.

We’re grateful for every person who stands with us and helps make a difference. Together, we can reduce these numbers… and increase the number of happy endings. 💛🐾
