🐾 Kit-Tea 2026 was a success! 🐾
We’re excited to share that two cats found their forever homes and one puppy was adopted during this year's event! ❤️
We also had several wonderful visitors who expressed interest in adopting and plan to return on Monday. We're hopeful that a few more furry friends will be heading home with their new families very soon.
Thank you to everyone who attended, supported our adoptable pets, and helped make Kit-Tea 2026 such a special event. Every adoption changes a life, and we're grateful to be part of these happy endings.

Rescued 💕
Squid had the BEST day out of the shelter today! 🐾💙

From sniffing every interesting smell on our walk to soaking up all the sunshine, this sweet pup was all smiles the entire time. He loved meeting new people, wagging his tail nonstop, and even showed off his gentle, affectionate side with lots of cuddles.

He even made a new friend today who told him all about the excitement of being in a home—cozy naps, tasty treats, and having a human to love him every day. Squid listened closely… like he knew that kind of life is exactly what he’s been waiting for. 🥹

Days like this remind us just how much Squid deserves a forever home. He’s full of love, curiosity, and pure joy—and he’s just waiting to share that with someone special.

Could that someone be you? 🐶✨

154 days ago, Mango arrived as a 7-month-old puppy who was skinny, mostly hairless, and all alone.
Today she’s a beautiful, spunky 1-year-old American Bulldog mix who loves attention, playing, and soaking up every bit of love she can get. 🐶🥭
She’s come so far, but she’s still missing the most important thing… a forever family.
Mango is sweet, happy, and ready to bring joy to the lucky home that chooses her.
Please share to help Mango find the loving family she’s been waiting for. ❤️

❄️ Cold Weather Awareness for Pets 🐾
As temperatures drop, our furry friends need a little extra help staying safe and warm. Just because they have fur doesn’t mean they’re built for freezing weather!
Here are a few important reminders:
🐶 Bring pets indoors – If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them.
🏠 Provide warm shelter – Outdoor pets need a dry, draft-free shelter with warm bedding (straw is better than blankets, which can freeze).
💧 Check water often – Make sure water bowls aren’t frozen. Hydration is just as important in winter.
🧂 Wipe paws after walks – Ice melt and salt can irritate paw pads and be harmful if licked.
🚗 Bang on your hood – Cats sometimes climb into car engines for warmth. A quick knock can save a life.
🐕 Limit time outside – Short-haired, senior, and small pets get cold faster and are at higher risk.
If you see an animal left out in dangerous conditions, please report it. Let’s work together to keep all pets safe this winter. ❤️
Stay warm, stay kind, and give your pets an extra cuddle tonight. 🐾❄️

🎄🐾 Meet Gage — Reindeer in Training for Santa Paws 2026 🦌✨
At 12 months old, this Lab mix already has the zoomies for takeoff and the heart to light the sky…
But tonight, instead of training with a family, he’s heading back to a kennel.
No sleigh. No team. No one cheering him on. 💔
He’s ready for tryouts next year…
He just hoped he wouldn’t still be waiting alone when they came 🥹
Gage doesn’t need a red nose to glow.
He needs a home to belong to. 🏡❤️
Please share — his family might be one scroll away.
