🚨💔 STOP SCROLLING 💔🚨

These babies are running out of time.

They need adopters. They need fosters. They need rescues. Most importantly, they need our community.

We cannot do this without you.

Every share reaches new eyes.
Every tag could reach the right rescue.
Every rescue pull saves a life.

Want to foster? Reach out to a rescue and offer to foster for one of these dogs. Many rescues are willing to help when they have a committed foster ready to open their home.

🆘Please don't look away.

Help us save these babies before it's too late. 💙

📢 SHARE. TAG RESCUES. OFFER TO FOSTER. ADOPT.

Together, we can change their story.

☀️🐾 With the heat rising, protect those paws!
Did you know that when the air hits 85°F, asphalt can soar to 130°F? That’s hot enough to burn in seconds!
Use the 7‑second rule — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
Keep walks cool, stay on grass, and keep your furry friends safe this summer. 💛

🚨💙 SAVE A PET ⌛ STOP SCROLLING. THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. ❤️🚨

Some of their friends didn't make it.

Some waited for families that never came.
Some watched kennel doors open for other dogs while they were left behind.
Some ran out of time.

Now these boys & girl are hoping their story ends differently.

🆘❤️⌛

💙 HARLAN
💙 MUG
💙 STERLING
💙KAIDE &🩷KAIA

They are still here.

Still waiting.

Still hoping someone will see them before it's too late.

Behind every kennel door is a life that matters. A dog who loves. A dog who trusts. A dog who doesn't understand why they keep getting overlooked.

As our shelter remains overcrowded, time is becoming a luxury these boys simply do not have.

⏳ Every day matters.
⏳ Every share matters.
⏳ Every foster matters.
⏳ Every adoption matters.

The heartbreaking truth is that not every dog gets a happy ending.

But these boys still have a chance.

A chance to leave the shelter.
A chance to sleep in a home.
A chance to be loved.
A chance to live.

💙 Adoption Fee: Only $20 or pull through a Rescue Partner!

✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Neuter assistance available (spay for kaia)

🏡 Fosters welcome through approved rescue partners.

📢 PLEASE DON'T LOOK AWAY.

Share this post.
Tag a rescue.
Tell a friend.
Open your home.

Because for these boys, tomorrow may not be promised.

And we don't want to write another goodbye post.

💙 Which life will you save?

🚐🐾 12 Dogs, 2 Rescues, Endless Possibilities! 🐾🚐

Today, 12 dogs loaded up and started their next chapters across state lines thanks to two incredible rescue partners—one in Virginia and one in North Carolina. These pups are getting a fresh start, new opportunities, and a new leash on life.

We are so grateful for the partnerships that help make transports like this possible and allow us to reach beyond our local community to find homes and resources for animals in need.

This transport gave 12 deserving dogs a brighter outlook, and we’re hopeful it will be the first of many regular transports to come. Every kennel filled means another life changed and more space to help the next animal in need.

Safe travels, sweet pups—we can’t wait to see where your journeys take you. 💙🐶

Our kennels are FULL and we need your help now more than ever to save lives 🐾❤️
There are so many ways you can make a difference:
🐶 Adopt
Stop by the shelter, walk through, and meet your new best friend! Every adoption opens space for another dog in need. Only $40!
🐾 Save-a-Pet
These are dogs at risk who need immediate help. They may not be altered yet, but they go home with a microchip and rabies vaccine; giving them a second chance because of YOU.
📣 Managed Intake
Keep an eye out for these posts! These are dogs scheduled to come in who could avoid the shelter entirely with your help.
🏡 Foster
Open your home temporarily and help us create space. Apply in person and once approved, you can take a dog home and be a lifesaver! (Adoption dog only)
Every share, every adoption, every foster; it all matters. Let’s work together to give these dogs the future they deserve 🐕💙

🚨💙 SAVE A PET: MALE EDITION➡️ THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME 💙🚨

💙🆘DAPPER. MOCHI. MUG. STERLING. TYSON. ODIN. HARLAN. WARRIOR. SAMURAI.

These boys are more than kennel numbers.

They are loyal companions, adventure buddies, couch potatoes, comedians, and best friends waiting for someone to give them a chance.

Right now, they sit in a crowded shelter hoping someone will see them before it's too late.

⏳ Time is running out.

Without adoption, rescue, or foster placement, these boys could lose their chance at a future.

🐾 Some are playful.
🐾 Some are gentle.
🐾 Some are goofy.
🐾 Some just want a family to call their own.

But they all have one thing in common:

They deserve to live.

💙 Adoption Fee: Only $20
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Spay/neuter assistance available

🏡 Fosters welcome through approved rescue partners.

📢 PLEASE DON'T SCROLL PAST THEM.

Share this post. Tag a rescue. Tell a friend. Consider opening your home.

For some of these boys, a share, tag, foster, or adoption could be the difference between life and death.

Which one is waiting for you? ❤️🐾
