Marvin!!!! He’s been working hard at eating and gaining some much needed weight. The shelter is a step up from wherever he came from. I can’t imagine how mind blown he’s gonna be to enter a home and be loved.

This is a super happy guy. His coat is already looking sleek and shiny. He even knows sit. Throw some more groceries at him and he’s gonna be just fine.

Marvin is an adult male who weighs 40lbs. His adoption fee is sponsored and he will come neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Come get this boy and watch his glow up first hand. 🩵

Larry the Lobster 🦞 (I dunno where this name came from) is as tall as he is wide. He’s friend shaped like a wombat and quite literally could be a sweet potato with legs. Larry is not built for speed or exercise or anything much other than the AC and a couch. When he walks into the room the song Low Rider is playing. Shh listen, can you hear it?

🦞 Low rider
🦞 Wombat shaped
🦞 Easy on the leash
🦞 Pottied as soon as we got outside
🦞 Sponsored adoption fee
🦞 Adoption includes neuter, microchip and vaccines.
🦞 Has his own theme song

Come meet this legend on Monday. We open at noon. 🕛 🩵

These tiny puppies were just born here in a kennel, both with a severe cleft palate (a congenital defect) that have made these puppies unable to nurse. These sweet girls will now require around the clock specialized care that will ultimately still leave their futures very guarded.. if they survive the next few weeks, they will still never live a normal life.

Unfortunately, many litters occur without any consideration of genetics, health history, or the resources needed to care for puppies born with special needs.

Shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with accidental/unwanted litters and countless animals suffer from preventable health and genetic conditions.

Spaying and neutering your pets helps:
🐾 Prevent unplanned litters
🐾 Reduce pet overpopulation
🐾 Lower the number of animals entering shelters
🐾 Decrease the risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases
🐾 Promote healthier, longer lives for many pets
🐾 Reduce the spread of inherited genetic conditions

These sweet girls should be a reminder that bringing puppies (or kittens!) into the world comes with tremendous responsibility.

Spay/Neuter. Please be part of the solution.
