🐾 Doggy Day Outs = Big Smiles & Wagging Tails! 🐾

Sometimes a few hours out of the shelter can make all the difference!
Our pups, like Ella, love a little adventure — whether it’s a walk in the park, a car ride with the windows down, or a cozy nap on your couch. ☀️🚗🐶

Doggy Day Outs give our adoptable dogs a break, a taste of love, and a chance to show their true, wonderful selves outside the kennel. 💕

Want to make a dog’s day? Sign up to be a Doggy Day Out volunteer and help us give these sweet pups the joy they deserve — even if just for a day! 🦮🌳✨

📸 Don’t forget to snap a few pics — nothing beats seeing those happy faces!

🙏Huge THANK YOU to our community for coming together, supporting us and helping save Phoenix. 🙏

His first vet bill has been covered! Because of your incredible generosity, we were able to completely cover his first vet bill and all of the necessary medications he's currently on. He's feeling a little better after getting a much-needed bath, but he will likely need to go back to the vet later this week to receive more fluids. We will keep everyone updated on his progress!

You guys are our rock. We truly could not save these lives without you. When a kitty like Phoenix or Moses is brought in, we always fear the worst - that we won’t be able help them heal, to protect them, to save them. Especially with cases as bad as Phoenix, the odds are often against us. Against them.

But you, our compassionate community, somehow manage to come together to support them. Every. Time. You give us strength. You give us hope. You give them a second chance. And that’s what it’s all about.

We truly appreciate your generosity and cherish your kindness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🥹

****Courtesy Post****

2 females, both one year.

They are friendly with cats and dogs, kids they’ve only been around ages 13 and up. Both crate trained and house trained and have been around livestock. They are both fixed, sisters, and vaccinated.

Would likely be best in homes with no other dogs.

If interested, please let us know and we will put you in contact with the surrender.
