Our holiday-spirited adult dogs are dreaming of one special thing this season: a cozy home to call their own. 🎄🐾

They’re full of love, wagging tails, and ready to be your couch buddy, walking partner, and built-in cheer.

Whether it’s movie nights, snowy strolls, or quiet mornings by the tree, these pups would love nothing more than to spend the holidays with you.

Could you be the one to make their wish come true? Come meet them and see if your perfect match is waiting!

FOUND CAT 🐾

Have you lost a cat near Argyle Ave?

This male brown and white tabby has been hanging around outside near a finder’s porch for about a year. He’s been regularly fed and seems comfortable in the area, but does not have any identifying tags.

If you recognize this cat or think he may belong to you or someone you know, please reach out. Let’s help make sure he’s safe and get him home if he has one!

Mud Bay always goes above and beyond to keep our APS-FH dogs happy, and this time they delivered big!

They surprised us with boxes and boxes of bully sticks, and our pups could not be more thrilled. Duke pictured here was dancing around with joy! 🐶✨

Lots of happy chewing = lots of happy dogs… and things have been very quiet around here lately. 😄

We’re so grateful for community partners like who help make life sweeter (and chewier!) for the dogs in our care. 🧡🦴

🚐🐾 Incoming Transport Alert! 🐾🚐

We’ve got three amazing pups on their way to APS-FH, all making the long trip from South Carolina and hoping to start their brand-new island life in the PNW! 💚🌲

Meet the travelers:
✨ Molly — 10-month-old female Foxhound mix, ~18 lbs
A petite sweetheart with big ears and an even bigger heart. Gentle, affectionate, and ready to find her person.

✨ Prince — 2-year-old male Plott Hound mix, ~48 lbs
Handsome, friendly, and full of charm. This guy is as sweet as he is loyal.

✨ Thelma — 2-year-old female Retriever mix, ~78 lbs
A loving, mellow girl with a warm soul, she’s the definition of a gentle giant.

All three are incredibly sweet, resilient, and so ready for their next chapter. 💕
