Congratulations on getting adopted, Elvis! ❤️

One of the shelter’s longest residents, Elvis first came to us after being pulled from animal control as a young puppy. He was adopted and returned as an adult . Year after year, he was overlooked while waiting patiently for someone to finally choose him. And today, that day finally came.

Our hearts are heavy watching him leave because the shelter staff has grown to know and love Elvis like one of our own. But more than anything, we are happy. Happy that he now has a couch to call his own, a new kitty sibling, and the fresh start he has deserved for so long.

Happy tails, Elvis. We’ll miss you more than words can say.

Harley is an 8 year old Pointer mix and she is super sweet. She loves to play ball in the big yard and also some tug of rope on occasion. She loves everybody and she enjoys the afternoon breeze in the springtime when she's outside. We love Harley so much and she deserves more than the kennel life. She would rather be sitting in her own yard rather than in a kennel. She gets along with most dogs so, if you have a dog, a meet and greet is best.

Come meet Harley at
Wolf Creek ~ 2123 East Washington Highway in Monticello, Florida. Dog viewing is open from 9a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday through Monday. Closed Tuesdays.

Share! Share! Share! Many kittens have arrived and more are on the way. For these young animals to thrive, mothers' milk is vital, but sometimes they are separated from their mothers and become strays. Alone, scared and hungry. We need your help to provide for all of these kittens with the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and development. We are in need of kitten food, milk replacement, kitten toys and we also welcome cash donations.

They may not have come into the shelter together, but Crawford and Figaro have decided they have to leave together. ❤️

6 year old Crawford is a handsome bashful tabby boy who didn’t have much confidence until he met Fig, the outgoing 7.5 year old orange cat who takes over every room he walks into. Somewhere along the way, they became inseparable.

Both boys are neutered, up to date on vaccines and prevention, and looking for a home willing to give this bonded pair the happy ending they deserve. 🖤
