Update - owner located! Thanks everyone!

Anyone know me? I was checking out the views of Dakota City but then animal control was tipped off. 😔 The views in here are not nearly as scenic as Dakota City. Please show photo evidence of ownership and proof of rabies to claim me! They also said it’s 50 bucks to bail me out.

Awesome update! The dog that was originally running around the St. Joe area has finally been caught, and we think he’s pretty happy about it. A huge thank you to the family that took the time to work on building trust with him and ultimately caught him! This dog has been on all of our minds for the past couple of months, and we all slept a little better last night knowing he’s finally safe. If you know where he belongs, reach out! If he goes unclaimed he will be available for adoption once he’s fully vetted and cleared to go to a new home!

Madi and Rebecca are just two of the beautiful kitties we have waiting for their forever homes! These pics speak for themselves. Just look at those sweet little faces begging through your screen for you to fill out an app! We match make, so once we see what your home life is like we can show you the best fits for the greatest chance at happiness for the kitties (or dogs even) and everyone else in your home.

Rebecca also won the competition for world’s best RBF, but she hates talking about that. Don’t bring it up to her if you’re lucky enough to meet her. It’s a sore subject for her because she’s just so lovey and sweet and nothing like what her face is putting out there. 🥰

Update - ADOPTED!! Yaaaay!!

Wren makes us feel bad. 😢 We talked this morning about what she wants in a home, and she said she would like a calm house with people who will understand it takes her time to adjust. She came from an overpopulation situation in a home and hung out with our cat whispering friends to see how she would be in a new home. With a lot of time, love and patience she blossomed into a confident lady who runs to greet people at the door. It didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen! We know she can do it again, forever this time, with the right humans. Is that you or do you know someone who would be a perfect match for her? Share this post with them and let’s get her out of here ASAP!! Her adoption fee is waved in an effort to get her home faster.

Wait until you hear this.

One of our local business owners bought each of his employees TWO bags of cookie dough to surprise them with. Two bags. That’s 100 cookies per person. That is not a snack. That is a lifestyle choice.

We think it’s brilliant, kind, and possibly the beginning of a very delicious employee-of-the-month arms race.

Sadly, we can’t tell you who it is yet, because surprises are fragile little cupcakes and we refuse to squish this one.

But here’s the important part: these cookie dough bags are perfect for pretty much everyone.

Need a gift for your favorite people? Cookies.
Have a neighbor who deserves a little happiness? Cookies.
Going to a potluck and don’t want to show up with sad gas-station chips? Cookies.
Want to stock your freezer like a responsible adult with dessert-based emergency supplies? Cookies.

Each bag is $25, makes 50 cookies, and helps homeless animals at the same time.

That’s basically superhero-level kindness, but with better snacks. 🍪🐾

Order by June 3rd and help us give every pet a second chance! Scan the QR code on our fundraiser flyer to grab yours! Because saving animals and eating cookies is the kind of multitasking we fully support.

And because you have scrolled this far, congratulations. You have officially unlocked the Oliver Update: Bonus Content Edition. 🐾

Oliver just wanted to pop in for a little attention, which is extremely on-brand for a dog who has recently discovered that certain shelter staff and volunteers are, in fact, safe humans and acceptable snack dispensers.

He is doing amazing and has decided he is deeply in love with the people he trusts. However, Oliver is not the kind of dog who runs up to strangers yelling, “HELLO, I LOVE YOU.” Oliver is more of a “please submit your application to my emotional security department and provide snacks for review” kind of guy.

He will need a calm, patient, local home with people who understand that the best love stories sometimes start with suspicion, snacks, and a very slow tail wag.

We would also like him to stay local, just in case he manages another escape adventure. Since we’ve built such a strong bond with him, we’d be able to help catch our little jailbreak potato much more easily.

Oliver is worth the patience. He’s weird, sweet, cautious, snack-motivated, and secretly full of love once you pass the vibe check. 🍪🐶
