Katie may have hacked my Facebook earlier but I had to hop on to share this!

What a wonderfully hectic day! We have had a very strange day at the pound and had some extra balls to juggle. Our friends at Moffitt Animal Shelter sent a wonderful couple to us that wanted to meet some dogs and we were happy to oblige - even if we had to juggle a tad to do it.

Now let’s talk about our sweet Bella - she was with us about a year and a half ago. I picked her up next to Fareway as she was out running with her puppy. Her puppy was quickly adopted but Bella stayed with us for longer.

She lived happily on a farm and was loved dearly but unfortunately, was not compatible with cats, so she had to come back to us.

Though we understand these things happen, it’s heartbreaking for all of us. We don’t have the time, resources, or money to give all of these animals all the things they should have. No matter how much our staff cares (which is a lot), we are not a home. We don’t want to be their home.

But “home” was the name of the game today. I stood at the window (creepily probably) watching Bella love up on her new owner (we were hoping) and by the end of it, Bella went home.

Thank you to Melissa Thompson who came out to help today, Moffitt for sending us some incredible adopters, and congrats to Bella on her new family!

This is why we make it through the hard stuff - for moments like this. Seeing one of dogs go home was a pretty fantastic birthday gift. 💝💙

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAILA! 🖤

Happy birthday to quite possibly the most misunderstood person in Webster County! 😂

People can be hard on Kaila, but here's the thing about her: she isn't here to do what's easy, what's popular, or what makes everyone comfortable. She does what she believes is RIGHT, even when it isn't the popular choice. And sometimes, that's exactly the kind of person you need in your corner.

This woman wears about 17 different hats. She trains animals, rehabs them back to health, works at the radio station, runs the pound, coordinates ACO's, and somehow still finds time to be a personal trainer at the gym.

If you're looking for someone to sugarcoat things, tell you what you want to hear, or tiptoe around the truth, Kaila probably isn't your girl. But if you want someone who will be brutally honest, stand her ground, fight for what matters, and tell you what you NEED to hear rather than what you WANT to hear, she's absolutely your gal!

But underneath those hard muscles, tough exterior, and don't-mess-with-me attitude is one incredibly soft soul. A person who cares deeply, gives more than most people realize, and has a heart for animals and people that is bigger than she'll ever admit.

Not everyone will understand her, and honestly, she probably isn't losing sleep over that. But those who know her, REALLY know her, understand just how much heart she has.

So today, let's celebrate the woman behind the muscles, the blunt comments, the big personality, and the countless lives she's helped change.

Happy Birthday, Kaila! WE are all grateful to have you in our corner!

I HAVE to take a moment to brag on Rainn today.

When Rainn first started training with me, she was nervous, scared, and wouldn’t come within a foot of me. She’d bring over a tennis ball, drop it, and roll it to my feet so I wouldn’t get any closer. The time I pushed it, she lunged at me like she was going to take my arm off (we still laugh at that).

Today we sat outside at a park together working on skills and she was getting salami treats. We worked on exposure to people, sound, cars, and other animals.

She was confidence, calm, and neutral.

That - right there - is one of the biggest benefits of training. When you can understand them, you can help support and guide them into behaviors you’d prefer. They grow a bond and their goal is to give you that behavior, even when there’s minor instinct brain set backs.

Rainn has grown so much and has gotten to such a neutral and confident place. She is no longer the scared, nervous dog that walked into my facility on day one. 💙

Meet Ursula!

Ursula has been in our care for quite some time. Shes had three separate people put in apps and for one reason or another, none of them have worked out.

Don’t worry though! We don’t tell her when there’s a prospect.

Ursula isn’t even a year old. She has beautiful long black hair and she’s a little shy… but let me tell ya, some of the best ones are!

Will you be lucky number four to put in an app and actually take our beautiful girl home!

Here’s the app! Fill it out! I dare you! (If you’re interested!)
