Meet Minnie! 🐾

This 1.5-year-old sweetheart has been waiting nearly a year for a home of her own! She’s full of energy, personality, and love, and she’s looking for a home where she can be the star of the show as your one and only pet.

Her adoption fee is just $25 this month for Adopt a Shelter Dog Month!

Stop by our shelter to meet Minnie! 💗

A beautiful portrait for a very special girl 💜

Bonnie Pearson has done it again! She recently finished this absolutely stunning painting of Bellatrix and dropped it off yesterday. Her work is beautiful, and we’re so grateful she continues to paint portraits of our shelter dogs to help them get noticed.

Bonnie paints portraits of dogs in our care to help shine a spotlight on them, and we’re so grateful for the time and talent she puts into each piece. Thank you, Bonnie, for helping our shelter dogs get noticed and creating something so special for them!

Bellatrix is almost 3 years old and has spent nearly a year waiting for a home of her own. She’s a sweet, loving girl who is housetrained and has previously done well with cats. She needs a home with no other dogs and no children.

She stays in a quieter, more private area of the shelter because thunderstorms can be scary for her, so you may not see her when you walk through. Please ask to meet her!

Thank you again, Bonnie, for creating something so special for Bellatrix. We hope her painting will soon be hanging in a home of her own! 🐾
