FOR ADOPTION:
Freya has had a tough couple of years, once a house cat she was abandoned outside. Amazingly she survived despite our recent severe winter. We’ve been fostering her for a month now. She is SO CONTENT to be inside and has no interest in going outside again.
She is between 8-10 years old, spayed, negative for leukemia and aides, other lab work is good, negative f***l. Previously lived with a dog but she does not like other cats. She is not much trouble, is independent but also very loving. A quiet home with a sunny window and patience would be ideal for her If you are interested in meeting Freya call us 540-347-0964.

Sources have confirmed that Malani, a certified good girl and adventure enthusiast, has officially declared her search for a forever family open.

This just in – Malani has all the qualifications of a top-tier best friend:

-Walks great on leash (pro tip: add an easy walk harness for peak performance)
-Always down for an adventure – car rides, play dates, you name it.
-Wrestling champ with other dogs her size.
-Crates well at night (but would probably rather cuddle)
-Toy enthusiast – if it squeaks, it’s hers!

Officials advised that Malani prefers older kiddos who can handle her excitement and help her with jumpy greetings (she’s still perfecting her hello routine).

Experts at ODHS are shocked Malani is still available, calling her “the total package – part cuddle bug, part adventure buddy, 100% bestie material.”

Happy Saturday!

We love this alumni update for Nala and had to share!

“Almost 3 months later, Nala continues to be an amazing addition to the household! She’s an amazing ‘dog sister’ and is a joy.

She loves…
👀 staring down the geese at the lake.
✍️ helping her sister with homework.
💪 playing fetch and tug in the side yard.
😭 crying at me for more walkies even though she already gets 2-3 miles a day lol.

She hates:
🐞 the pest control guy (cant blame her, he’s sus)
👂 loud noises (honestly same)
🥘 dry dogfood withthout a topper (she’s a foodie who knows what she’s worth)”
