Time for Woofus to say goodbye… but not before sharing one last treat with the shelter dogs and cats. 🎄🐾

Today, Woofus brought a special Christmas Eve treat along with a message straight from Santa, letting our pets know just how good they’ve been this year. ❤️

We’re hopeful that all these good boys and girls will soon find their furrever homes, opening up space for even more pets who will need love, care, and a safe place to land.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our shelter and helped make this season so special for our animals. 🐶🐱✨

🎄✨ Look at all these donations! Our shelter elf, Woofus, is perched on just some of the amazing gifts we’ve received — and this isn’t even half of them! 🎁
Woofus can’t wait for our shelter dogs and cats to open their presents tomorrow. 🐶🐱
Thank you all so much for thinking of our shelter pets this holiday season. Your generosity truly means the world to them (and to us)! ❤️

Woofus stopped by Happy Acres Pet Rescue today to see Parker and of course they became instant best friends!!! Woofus like the rest of us would love for Parker to find his forever home for the holidays!

Parker have been available for adoption for about a year now, he is currently in foster at Happy Acres and really showing what a great dog he is! He has been great with other dogs, big and small, and cats! He is deaf but such a loving sweet guy that loves to play! Reach out to the shelter today if you would like to schedule a meet with this sweet guy!

🎣🐱 Woofus the Elf is up to mischief again! 🐱🎣

Today, Woofus was spotted in the cat colony doing a little fishing… and it looks like he may have caught himself a “catfish” 😂
Don’t worry—the cats are just having fun and keeping a close eye on his catch!

Our cat colonies and cat rooms are FULL, and these sweet kitties would love nothing more than a furrrever home this holiday season. If you’ve been thinking about adding a cat to your family, now is the purr-fect time ❤️

Stop by and meet your new best friend today! 🐾🎄
