A month ago, Demonte and Bernard entered the world under scary circumstances via emergency C-section. Given their difficult start, we tried not to get our hopes too high… but these tiny fighters had other plans. 💙

Last week, they officially turned 4 weeks old and came in for their very first vaccines!

Our stellar vet team performed the emergency surgery, and it was a team effort to bottle feeding these boys every single hour, around the clock, until a foster home opened up. They were later lovingly fostered by a professor at North Shore Community College, where students helped care for and bottle feed them, too.

Today, Demonte and Bernard are thriving, growing, and proving just how resilient kittens can be when surrounded by compassionate people willing to fight and work hard for them. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped give these boys their chance! 🐾

This Memorial Day, we’re feeling especially grateful for the quiet moments of peace and safety that every animal deserves. 🇺🇸☀️ Bugatti is spending the holiday weekend soaking up the sunshine in his foster home, stretched out in the grass without a care in the world.

While we remember and honor those who made sacrifices for others, we’re also thankful for the foster families, adopters, volunteers, and supporters who help shelter pets like Bugatti find comfort, love, and second chances every single day.

We hope your day includes a little sunshine, a little rest, and maybe even a nap as good as Bugatti’s! ❤️🇺🇸

Lohara is living it up in her foster home with lots of time in the woods! This direct write-up from her foster shows what great progress she's made and what a smart and sweet pup she is! Lohara is still looking for her forever home - check her out on our website! 💛

"Wanted to send an update; it's hard to believe I've only had Lohara about a week! She is doing wonderfully, such a fast learner and really starting to settle in. I kept her around the house the first couple of days because she was pretty skeptical of houses, but once she got more comfortable here I started adding in short drives to very fun places, mostly long lead walks in the woods. She LOVES these and I can see how good they are for her. She has met quite a few different people and dogs and is universally calm and friendly to all though she prefers one on one greetings still. I would not say she likes the car but her anxiety around it is decreasing by the day. She's a typical puppy but overall has been good in the house as long as we watch her and she loves to chill out outside. She’s great about being in her crate which is where she sleeps and stays when we aren't home. She likes it and will often voluntarily hang out in there.

Somewhere during her time in the shelter her little puppy brain decided that peeing/pooping inside was proper etiquette. She went about two days where she wouldn't do her business outside, but she was doing the right thing just in the wrong place so once it clicked, it really clicked. She has been almost perfect with house training since then."

Offsite adventures are so beneficial for shelter pups! Fresh air, new smells and sights, and lots of friends to be made mean that our dogs not only get a break, but get exposure to the big wide world outside their kennel.
