Proceed with caution: these shelter dogs are full of red flags and are guaranteed to steal your heart! 🚩🐶

Here is the truth about a few of our current residents:

Nova Nebula will definitely talk over the best parts of your movie.🍿
Catalina eats her pizza crust first without any shame.🍕
Scotland loves to sing at the top of his lungs, even though he is totally tone-deaf. 🎶
Maple Leaf is that person who claps the second the plane wheels touch the ground. ✈️

All jokes aside, these playful pups are looking for loving homes where their goofy quirks will be appreciated. Come visit the shelter this week to hang out with Nova Nebula, Catalina, Scotland, and Maple Leaf! 🐾💕

Thankful Thursday 🩷

This week, our hearts are filled with gratitude for a very special little girl, sweet Cayleigh, and her incredible family. 🥰

Cayleigh was a true animal lover who adored all things furry, feathered, and scaled. She always had a caring heart and a helping hand for animals in need. Though she is no longer with us, her family continues to honor her beautiful spirit by giving back in her memory.🪽🐾

Recently, Cayleigh's family came together to celebrate her birthday and created a donation table in her honor, donating food and supplies for the animals at our shelter. We feel incredibly privileged to have been chosen as the recipients of their kindness and generosity. 🎁🩷

We are so grateful to Cayleigh's family for helping keep her legacy of kindness alive and for making a difference in the lives of animals in need. Her loving spirit truly continues to make an impact. 🐕💐

Thank you for remembering Cayleigh in such a meaningful way. 🩷

❤️‼️ MISTY NEEDS OUR HELP‼️ ❤️

When Misty arrived at HSMC, she appeared to be a happy and healthy 1-year-old pup. But when our staff noticed she was slightly limping, we knew we needed to take a closer look.

X-rays revealed significant damage to her left hind leg, including bone-on-bone contact in her hip.

We’re doing everything in our power to give Misty every possible chance to keep her leg and remain the four-legged pup she deserves to be. 🐾❤️

We reached out to our friends at Dunnellon Animal Hospital, who have successfully performed this specialized surgery for our shelter animals before. Misty will undergo an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) to address the painful damage in her hip and give her the best chance at comfortable use of her leg.

Her surgery and aftercare are estimated to cost up to $5,000, and we need our community’s help. Every donation goes directly toward Misty’s surgery and recovery.

To celebrate National Dog Day, help us give Misty the chance to run, play, and live the life she deserves on four legs. ❤️

We’re incredibly grateful to Dunnellon Animal Hospital and every supporter who helps us go above and beyond for animals like Misty.

Misty says thank you. 🐶❤️
