KENNY NEEDS SOMEONE NOW 💔

Kenny is just 1 year old. 40 pounds. A goofy, playful, social little guy who should be spending his days running through a backyard, playing with toys, going on adventures, and curling up next to someone who loves him.

Instead, he’s falling apart behind kennel doors.
And we need to be real and raw about it.
What started as restlessness and frustration has escalated into stress and panic. We’re doing all that we can to help him. We provide enrichment, exercise, and medication to help him cope.

But Kenny is now maxed out on medication management to support his stress levels. And he’s still struggling.

This is not what a quality life looks like.
And as much as it hurts to admit, we cannot give Kenny what he desperately needs within the walls of our shelter.

He’s not aggressive. He’s not a bad dog. He’s not broken.

He’s just a young, energetic dog whose mental well-being is deteriorating in an environment that simply cannot meet his needs.

We are desperately searching for someone to give Kenny a chance.

Someone with patience. Someone with an understanding of young, energetic dogs. Someone who can give him the structure, exercise, companionship, and stability he so desperately needs.

Kenny enjoys other dogs, though thoughtful introductions are important because larger or overly enthusiastic dogs can intimidate him. Older children would likely be the best fit for his exuberant personality.

We aren’t asking someone to take home a perfect dog. We’re asking someone to see a dog who has so much potential, but is running out of the ability to cope with his current circumstances.

We cannot medicate away the reality that Kenny is living in a kennel 23 hours a day. And we cannot keep pretending that another day, another week, or another month behind those doors is somehow going to make things better.

No adoption fees on any adult dogs, cats or kittens through the end of November.

We’d like to introduce you to five Rottweiler mix puppies who took one look at their shared family tree and decided to branch out in entirely different directions. 🤣

Seriously. Look at these pictures.

You’d think we went shopping in five different breed departments. But NOPE. Same litter. Same genetics. Wildly different interpretations of the assignment. Mom is a Rottie mix. We suspect dad to be a Collie/Aussie mix (we have both mom + dad at the shelter currently)

Here’s the rundown:
🐾 5 puppies — 3 girls and 2 boys
🐾 Approximately 4 months old
🐾 All THREE rounds of puppy vaccines completed
🐾 Spayed/neutered
🐾 Dewormed
🐾 Microchipped
🐾 Ready for their forever homes!

Now, here’s where we need to get serious for a minute.

We do not have kennel space for these puppies.
Let us emphasize that.
WE. DO. NOT. HAVE. KENNEL. SPACE.

Our intake needs aren’t slowing down. And while we’re doing everything we can to accommodate the animals coming through our doors, we are quite literally running out of places to put them.

These five need homes. And they need them ASAP.

But here’s the other thing: We need the RIGHT homes. Not just the FASTEST homes.

These are going to be LARGE dogs. Right now, they’re adorable little bundles of fluff, oversized paws, and questionable decision-making skills.

In six months? That questionable decision-making could weigh 70+ pounds. 😅😱

Training starts NOW. Socialization, boundaries, leash manners, potty training, and learning that humans are not chew toys. The work you put into these puppies today will determine the dogs they become tomorrow.

They’re puppies. They’re going to have accidents. They’re going to chew things they shouldn’t. They’re going to test your patience and occasionally your furniture.

And they’re going to need you to love them through ALL of it.

We’re not looking for someone who wants a cute puppy for a few months. We’re looking for someone who’s committed to the next 10–15 years.

If you’ve got the time, patience, space, and commitment to raise one of these beautiful little genetic grab bags, we’d love to introduce you.

🐈 ARE YOU HIRING? CERTIFIED MOUSERS. 🐭

We’ve got some highly qualified applicants who would LOVE to discuss your current pest management situation.

Their résumés are impressive:

🐾 Excellent hunting instincts.
🐾 Willing to work nights, weekends, and holidays.
🐾 Require absolutely zero micromanagement.
🐾 Not interested in office politics.
🐾 Compensation expectations: Room, board, and a steady supply of food.

These aren’t your average couch potatoes. They’re independent, hardworking felines who would much rather patrol your barn, workshop, warehouse, stable, or other suitable property than binge-watch Netflix on your sofa.

And no, you don’t need a farm to employ one!

All they ask in return is a safe, sheltered place to call home, daily food and water, and a little time to acclimate to their new surroundings.

Meet Tommy!

Now, before you go judging by his pictures, we need to clear something up. Tommy is a SMALL FRY. A fun-sized, 23-pound little dude who somehow photographs like he weighs 65 pounds.

At ~3 years old, Tommy is basically a dog’s dog. He loves toys. He loves people. He LOVES other dogs. If there’s a playgroup happening, Tommy would like to know why he wasn’t invited.

He’s spunky, social, and always ready for a good time. He’s the kind of guy who makes friends first and asks questions later.

And by “makes friends,” we mean enthusiastically bouncing around, wrestling, and throwing paws in the playground. 😏 We’re working on his manners to keep his four feet on the floor but the enthusiasm is certainly there.

He’s also a pretty great kennel guest. Give him some toys and a blanket, and he’ll happily entertain himself AND keep his kennel clean all night long.

Bottom line? Tommy is a whole lot of personality in a surprisingly small package. He’s playful, affectionate, dog-friendly, and just an all-around good little dude.

If you’ve been looking for a big personality without the big-dog real estate requirements, Tommy might just be your guy.

🍂 Fall weather calls for two things: playing in the leaves and picnics with pup cups. 🐾☀️

And our dogs are taking FULL advantage of both. A little sunshine, some crunchy leaves, a tasty treat, and a break from kennel life? No complaints here! 🧡

But while these photos are all sunshine and happy tails, things behind the scenes are a little less picture-perfect.

Our kennels are FULL. And we mean FULL full.

Last night, we took in another 5 puppies, and we’re anticipating having to take in even more dogs from that same home soon. More on that situation later.

Meanwhile, our owner surrender waiting list is longer than we’ve ever seen it. And that’s not an exaggeration.

We’re OUT of places to put dogs. There are only so many kennels, so many temporary setups, and so much space to go around.

We desperately need adopters. ❤️

Dogs especially. We have some truly wonderful pups waiting for someone to give them a chance. Big dogs, little dogs, goofy dogs, couch potatoes, professional leaf inspectors, and apparently a few pup cup connoisseurs.

And yes, our cats would love homes too! 🐱

Every adoption means one less animal sleeping in a kennel tonight AND one more space for the next animal who needs us.

So enjoy these ridiculously cute fall photos. Share them. Tag a friend. Come meet the dogs behind those adorable faces.

Because as much as they enjoy their little fall outings, what they really deserve is a home to come back to afterward. 🧡🐾

Friday night, we shared Rocky's story. A reminder of what happens when a community shows up for an animal who desperately needs someone in their corner. ❤️ But the needs didn't end when our masquerade did.

Right now, we have two dogs in our care whose stories we cannot fully share because they're part of active neglect investigations.

What we can tell you is that one of them should have weighed over 150 pounds. When he was found, he weighed less than 90. He was so weak he couldn't stand and he couldn't walk on his own. He could barely lift his head.

This isn't an isolated reality in animal welfare. It's what our team faces. And it's why your support matters so much. These animals don't arrive with the resources to care for them. They arrive hungry, hurting, and sometimes barely hanging on.

And we show up. Every. Single. Day.

Friday night, we reminded our guests that before we can do extraordinary things, we have to take care of the ordinary things.

Food. Shelter. Basic medical care.

It isn't glamorous. But it's essential. And as we prepare for 2027, even keeping food in the bowls of the animals who depend on us is a significant financial undertaking.

If you weren't able to join us Friday, please consider making a donation today. Rocky's story shows what's possible. The animals we can't yet show you are why we can't stop.

Their needs can't wait for our next fundraiser. Neither can our compassion. ❤️🐾
