🐾 Spring Adoption Success! 🐾

We’re so thrilled to share that all our furry friends found their forever homes this past spring semester! We want to thank Nikki Wilcox for all her hard work!!!🌸🐶 Here are some adorable updates on just a few of them.

✨ PRINCESS CORNBREAD (she even has her own spot in the house with a "Princess Cornbread" decal on the wall near her bed)...
Cornbread is doing fantastic! She’s up to 14.5 lbs now and has claimed many chairs and sofas as her favorite cozy spots. She’s loving her new life—listening to birds on walks, making new doggy friends, zooming around with her toys, and binge-watching Golden Girls and the Food Network with grandma! She’s also learning new tricks in training class and has some very strong opinions about treats. 😂

🐕 Ernie is full of energy, cuddles hard, and is the ultimate squirrel watcher during his long walks.

🐾 Saint is doing awesome—loving playtime and cuddles, and getting braver around my dog every day!

❤️ Worf is settled in perfectly and stealing hearts all around!

We’re so proud of these cuties and their amazing new families! 🥰 Thanks for giving them all the love they deserve!

⭐️ ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT ⭐️

LUCY

Lucy is a high energy pup and would love a home that can keep up with her! Older kids would be better for her as she’s still learning to play snd can be a little shy. She loves going on walks and sniffing ALL the things. She is nervous around new things, so give her time - and definitely offer her a treat to win her over…her words specifically. We think Lucy has some cattle dog in her, so she thoroughly enjoys herding things. She’s only 2 but still acts like a puppy so toys are her besties. Lucy is also a VERY quick learner and so so smart. She’s so eager to learn new tricks and picks up on them fast. We have worked on sit, stay, shake, place, fetch, and recall…she’s a pro!! She’s ready for a home that will give her patience and all the love she deserves!!

If you’re interested in meeting Lucy, please contact Nikki at 📧 [email protected]

This sweet boy has been in the shelter since August 2024 and is READY for his new home!! Please help us and Spot by sharing this post!!

He's also a cuddle champion - whether it's sweater weather or just a cozy evening, Spot is always ready to snuggle up on the couch. While we've loved every moment with him, Spot's wish for 2025 is simple: a loving family to call his own. It breaks our hearts that such an incredible dog is still waiting.
