🐾Alumni Update🐾
Bella (f/k/a BeepBeep) is as cute as ever and she is thriving in her new home with Becky and Jay. Becky said she is "frisky and adorable" and she loves her Great Pyr big brother, Marley. Bella follows him all around the house. It looks like she also loves her stuffed lamb when it’s nap time😊 What a precious little girl! Thanks, Becky and Jay!

Zassy is a gentle soul whose world suddenly changed. She didn’t end up in the shelter because she was unwanted. She’s here because the person who loved her deeply could no longer care for her. She’s friendly, affectionate & very trusting of people. She plays well with other dogs. She’s 5 yrs old & 60 lbs. Right now she’s trying to understand why everything is loud & unfamiliar. Shelter life is hard on dogs like Zassy, who once had a couch, a person & a place where they felt safe. Now she looks around as if she’s waiting for someone she knows to walk up. She really needs her time here to be short. Help us find this special girl a 2nd chance to love and be loved again💗

We💙Springer! This beautiful brindle boy is 3 years old & 54 lbs. He loves everyone & is always wanting hugs & scratches. He gets along with other dogs and has become “Uncle Springer” to the young pups. He plays so gentle with them😍 He also seems cat neutral so he’s even a pal to the kitties🐱He rides great in a car and it’s obvious he loves that too. He’ll make an awesome family dog or someone’s fun sidekick. This guy is all good things!⭐️ The only thing he’s missing is a home to show off in! Apply to meet him today!

♥️Adoption Announcement♥️
Volunteers Denise and Bruce fostered little Greta so she wouldn’t have to be alone in the shelter at such a young age. And now, volunteer Joy and husband Pat have added Greta to their family! Have we mentioned how awesome our volunteers are?!😍 We’re sure Greta thinks so! Grow up well, sweet girl. You’re already so loved💛
