Who doesn't love a senior dog?? 🥹. This is our seven-year-old, Niagara Fall, and just like the real Niagara Falls, she's just as breathtakingly gorgeous 💕.

Niagara Fall has a real calm and sweet demeanor to her. She loves being outside, spending time with her favorite humans. Niagara Fall enjoys going for walks outside, and she walks so well on the leash. Cuddling with her is the best ❤.

Niagara Fall is dog-social and would be happiest in a home with children over 13! We are closed for adoptions today, but open tomorrow from 12 to 7 pm.

🐾 Kitten Season Is Here — And We Need Your Help 🐾

Right now, more than 300 pets are being cared for in foster homes through our shelter. That's 300 lives getting a second chance because someone opened their home and heart.

But every day, more kittens arrive needing a safe place to grow, heal, and prepare for adoption.

We urgently need kitten fosters and bottle baby kitten fosters. You can make a life-changing difference in the lives of these pets

We provide support, supplies, and guidance—you provide the love.

💙 Save a life.
💙 Free up shelter space.
💙 Help a kitten find their forever home.

Interested in fostering or want to know more? Please text 708-956-2959. We currently have five litters of kittens in need of foster care.

That post-walk feeling 💕. Beautiful days means our staff gets to go on even more walks with our puppers and it's safe to say Red Rover couldn't be happier to get out, walk around, and smell everything the world has to offer 🥹❤.

Red Rover is estimated to be around 6.2 years old. He's a sweet boy! He may be 50 lbs, but he has the mentality of a 5lb dog, so prepare your lap for cuddles! Red Rover is dog-friendly and likes to run, play, and wrestle with his furry companions. We require a meet-and-greet with any potential dogs in the home to ensure a good fit!

We're open from 12 to 5 pm!
