👻 The scariest thing isn't a haunted house… it's waiting for a family who hasn't found you yet.🧡🐾

All dog adoptions are only $50! Help us give them the best treat of all. A loving forever home, with no tricks attached!

Animal Control has called us for help with dogs who desperately need our care, but the shelter is full. We want to help them, and we are calling on you, our community, to help us make room.
If you are considering adopting a dog, now is the time! We are partnering with BISSELL Pet Foundation for Emergency Empty the Shelter. The adoption fee is only $50, and we have incredible dogs waiting for loving homes, Lacy, who loves the water and playing with her dog friends! What Calvin needs most is a family to call their own. When you adopt, you not only welcome an amazing family member—you open a space for another dog who urgently needs our care.
Please come and meet Peeta and her 45 other adoptable dog friends this weekend. Friday 10-1 and 2-5 and Saturday 10-4. If you cannot adopt, please share this post with your friends and family. These dogs need our help, and we cannot do this without you. This rescue starts with you, our community.

A note to our adoptable animals🐾

Your person is out there. They just haven’t met you yet. And we promise, we are trying our very hardest to help you find them.

Until that day comes, our staff, volunteers, and community will continue to show up for you, love you, advocate for you, and provide you with a temporary place to call home.

You are safe with us. You are loved. You matter.

To our community: If you have a few extra hours in your day or week, consider joining our volunteer program. There are countless lives waiting for someone to be in their corner. Someone to show up, lend a hand, offer comfort, and remind them they aren't forgotten.

They need YOU.❤️

Adopt. Share. Donate. Volunteer.
Be a part of our mission. Be a part of their story.❣️

🐾Meet Daisy Mae!🐾

She’s a little shy when you first meet her, and with so many dogs waiting for homes at the shelter, the quieter ones like Daisy Mae can easily go unnoticed.

At 2½ years old, she’s house-trained, crate-trained, good with respectful kids, and would be happiest as your one and only pet.

She’s been waiting since July, and hopefully her turn is coming soon!

🐾 Fresh Off the Paw-ress!

Meet a new face here at the shelter: Polly Pocket! 💕

This goofy girl is a 1-year-old Basset Hound/Pit Bull mix with a story of her own. Polly was originally found as a stray and spent some time living with her finder. Unfortunately, she became uncomfortable around the man in the household and bit him during feeding time. Since we don't know much about Polly's past, we believe she would benefit from slow, thoughtful introductions and a family willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe.
But once Polly starts to trust you, oh boy, does her sweet side shine! Those big, soulful puppy-dog eyes will have you wrapped around her little paw in no time. She loves going for walks and simply enjoying time by your side. She's a goofy girl with so much love to give to someone willing to get to know her.

Polly is looking for a patient, understanding home that will let her settle in at her own pace, respect her boundaries, and help her build confidence. Because her past is a mystery, she'll need someone who understands that trust takes time and is committed to helping her succeed. Could you be the one to show Polly Pocket that she's finally home? 🐾

Contact us to learn more about Polly Pocket and arrange a meet-and-greet!
