🐾🏡 Forever Home Friday: Murp 🏡🐾

Paw-kin Spice has a new name, a new home, and apparently a very full social calendar.

Now known as Murp, she has settled right into family life and has even made friends with a Golden Retriever.

She has also become quite the travel companion and does well joining her family on out-of-state trips.

And because Murp apparently decided being cute was not enough, her family sent us a video showing off a few of her tricks too. She can sit and even twirl in a circle.

It sounds like Murp has been very busy making herself completely at home.

If you adopted from PCAS, send us your photos and updates. We love seeing where they are now.

🐾❤️ Rye Is Puppy Age Without All the Puppy Chaos ❤️🐾

If you love the idea of a puppy but are not necessarily looking for nonstop puppy antics, Rye might be exactly what you are looking for.

Rye is a 10-month-old female Pit mix who somehow manages to be playful, sweet, calm, and cuddly all at once.

She keeps a clean kennel, rides great in the car, entertains herself easily, and settles down well after her little bursts of energy. She may give you the occasional gentle jump when she gets excited, but she responds well to correction.

And once she is done playing, Rye is ready to melt right into you.

Volunteers say she wants to be a genuine lap dog, loves spending time with people, and has done well with both kids and other dogs.

She is still young, still fun, and still has that puppy sweetness, but she already has so many of the qualities people hope for when they bring a dog home.

Rye is ready for someone who wants the puppy without quite as much of the chaos.

🐾🎁 A Big Thank You to Glad Dogs Nation🎁🐾

We want to send a huge thank you to Glad Dogs Nation for donating a box of toys for our dogs.

The reactions were exactly what you would expect.

Jack paused just long enough for one photo before grabbing his toy and taking off with it. Everest was far less concerned about the toys and much more interested in figuring out why Ashton was sitting inside the box.

And then there was John Deere.

Somehow, of all the dogs, John Deere was the one who actually stood still long enough to help us show off the donation.

That surprised all of us.

John Deere is a hound through and through. His nose is always working, he notices everything around him, and somehow every walk turns into an investigation of whatever smell is calling him next.

His favorite activity is somehow turning any walk into an attempted trip toward the woods.

You will usually hear John Deere before you see him.

But spend a little time with him and you get a completely different side of this boy.

One volunteer sat down on a bench with him and quickly learned that John Deere has absolutely no concept of personal space. He leaned right in, soaked up the attention, and turned into a total loverboy.

John Deere has been with us for a while now, and shelter life is getting harder on him.

So while we are incredibly grateful for a donation that brought so much excitement to our dogs, we also want to use John Deere’s unexpected modeling career to ask all the hound people out there for a favor.

Come meet this boy.

If you love the nose, the curiosity, the personality, and the giant soft heart that comes with a true hound, John Deere may be exactly your kind of dog.

🐾📊 October By the Numbers 📊🐾

October kept us moving both inside and outside the shelter.

We welcomed 152 animals into our care:
53 cats
99 dogs

We celebrated 56 adoptions:
25 cats
31 dogs

Another 33 animals left with rescue partners:
10 cats
23 dogs

And 20 animals were reunited with their families:
2 cats
18 dogs

That gives us 109 positive outcomes for October.

Our adopted cats were Nutmeg, Jalapeno now Sylvie, Georgia, Celery, Butler, Charm, Tig, Uncle Fester, Bow Tie, Top Hat, Melody now Jane, Dispatch, Mercury now Loki, Mig, Emerald, Mix now Opal, Match now Pearl, Mortadella now Benji, Quail now Chanel, Potion, Bo Peep, Luca, Tarot, Roomba, and Telemarketer.

Our adopted dogs were Flower, Rocky, Rasputin, Fender, Ziva, Captain, Tiger, Topaz, Lennox, Regan now Raven, Falkor, Moonstone, Abby, Moo-tilda now Millie, Gibbs now Roman, Hope, Han Solo, Luca, Tegan now Grendel, Yardstick, Gigi, Quartz, Frankenweenie, Rose, Slurpee, Perido now Mocha, Simpson now Pluto, Wednesday, Lamborghini, Dinozzo, and Sophie.

October was also a big month for getting our animals out into the community. Our dogs attended several events, and we had more Doggy Day Out field trips than we have had in any previous month. Every one of those outings means time outside the kennel, more opportunities for us to learn who these dogs are away from the shelter, and more chances for someone in the community to meet them.

Thank you to our adopters, rescue partners, volunteers, fosters, staff, and everyone who helped make those 109 positive outcomes possible.

🐾⛰️ Everest Is a Gentle Giant ⛰️🐾

Everest is a big dog with a very soft personality.

He is friendly, social, affectionate, and loves attention. On walks, he is surprisingly easy for his size. He does not pull, stays tuned in to the person with him, and will even stop and turn around like he is checking to make sure you are still there.

Outside the shelter, Everest really starts to show off who he is.

He has been to two events and did great around both people and other dogs. He loves treats, enjoys playing with his toys, happily rolls over for belly rubs, and has no problem stretching out in the grass once he gets comfortable.

He also believes human snacks should probably be shared.

Everest is the kind of dog who looks impressive from across the yard, then turns into a giant cuddle bug the second you get close.

Big body. Gentle heart. Excellent snack radar.

🐾🏡 Forever Home Friday: Poppy 🏡🐾

Poppy has settled right into her new life, and apparently she has plenty to say about it.

She is a very chatty girl who has no problem meowing at everyone when she decides it is time for some attention. She now has three siblings to run around and play with, and when she is not busy with them, you can usually find her chasing one of her favorite green puff balls or springs.

Poppy has also figured out the quieter parts of home life. She loves curling up with her family while they read or watch TV, although there is one part of her daily routine that might outrank everything else.

Churu time.

We have a feeling Poppy has everyone in that house very well trained already. ❤️

We love seeing her comfortable, spoiled, surrounded by family, and making sure everybody knows exactly when she requires their attention.

If you adopted from PCAS, send us your photos and updates. We love seeing where they are now.

🐾🧡 Everyone Who Knows Crackers Says the Same Thing 🧡🐾

One of the hardest things about meeting a shelter dog is wondering what they will be like once they are actually home.

With Crackers, we already know.

She has spent time in foster homes, gone on outings with volunteers, and every report we get back tells us the same thing: Crackers is an incredibly sweet girl who settles beautifully into everyday life.

She is around 3 years old, about 50 pounds, heartworm negative, and listed as a Lab mix. She is housebroken, rides well in the car, loves walks and adventures, takes treats gently, enjoys toys, and is more than happy to settle in for some serious cuddle time.

One foster described her as loving, gentle, and loyal and called her “the absolute perfect dog.” She was wonderful with their young daughter, did not jump on people, and quickly became part of the family routine.

Another family loved her just as much. Their home simply was not the right long-term fit with their other pets.

That is the thing about Crackers. She has already shown us that she knows how to be someone’s companion.

She can be your walking buddy, your adventure buddy, your couch buddy, and the dog waiting to climb into your lap when the day is over.

Crackers is best-friend material.

Now we just need to find the person who gets to call her theirs.

🎃🐾 Trunk-or-Treat Pup Cup Outtakes 🐾🎃

Because apparently no Trunk-or-Treat is complete without giving a bunch of shelter dogs whipped cream and then trying to photograph the aftermath.

Some understood the assignment.

Some absolutely did not.

There was whipped cream on noses, tongues everywhere, questionable technique, and more than a few faces that made it very clear this was serious business.

They may not have been the most photogenic moments of the day, but they were definitely some of the funniest.

Our dogs had a blast getting out, meeting people, and enjoying a few very important pup cups along the way.

🐾❄️ Frosty Is Learning She Can Just Be a Dog ❄️🐾

Frosty came to us terrified.

She arrived with her two daughters, and both of them have already moved on. Frosty is still here.

At around 2 years old, Frosty is spayed, heartworm negative, and ready for a home of her own. She is quiet, gentle, low energy, and very easy to overlook in a busy shelter.

But once she gets away from the kennel environment, you start to see more of who she really is.

Volunteers have watched her gain confidence little by little. On walks, especially once she hits the trails, she starts to relax. No pulling. No jumping. No barking. Just Frosty taking everything in and figuring out that she is allowed to enjoy herself.

She also did amazing at one of our recent adoption events. She jumped right into the car, rode well in the backseat, walked around, relaxed in the sun, ate plenty of treats, and soaked up all the attention she could get.

Those are the moments where Frosty really starts to show us how far she has come.

She still looks up for reassurance sometimes, almost like she is asking, “Is this okay?”

And we really want her to learn that yes, it is.

Sniff the grass. Feel the breeze. Stretch out in the sun. Take the treat. Lean into the attention.

Just be a dog.

Frosty would do best in a home with no other pets, where she can settle in at her own pace and finally have the space to keep becoming the confident girl we are starting to see.
