🌞🐶 End of Summer, New Beginnings! 🐾💛
Adopt a Dog Before Fall Leaves Them Behind

As summer winds down, our shelter is still full of amazing dogs waiting to start their next adventure—with you! From beach days to cozy autumn walks, these pups are ready to be your sidekick for every season. 🍂🐕

Don’t let summer end without making room in your heart (and home) for a forever friend. 💕

Let’s find these pups the families they deserve—before the leaves fall! 🍁

This beautiful girl, we call "Summer", was found caring for her babies like the amazing mama she is. The kittens are now older and able to find homes of their own, but she’s still waiting... hoping someone will see her worth and give her the peaceful, loving life she deserves.

✨ What she offers:

Endless purrs and affection

A calm and nurturing personality

Litter trained and well-mannered

She’s been through a lot and just wants a home where she can nap in sunny windows and be someone’s loyal companion. 🐱❤️

Please stop by 18 Sacred Heart Avenue in Mineral, Tuesday through Saturday from 12pm to 5pm to give this sweet girl the home she’s dreaming of—or share to help her story reach the right person!

Let’s get this mama her happy ending. 🏡💕
