As the leaves fall and the holidays get closer, we’re getting our four-legged family ready for cozy season! We're hosting another FREE vaccine clinic for dogs and cats, so everyone can stay healthy and happy through the Thanksgiving festivities. 🧡🦃

📅 Saturday, November 21
🕑 11am-1pm
📍 The Church of The Holy Trinity (1904 Walnut St)

A few helpful reminders before you come:
- Dogs need to be on a collar or harness with a leash, or in a travel carrier or wire crate.
- Cats need to be in an approved carrier: wire crates, cardboard pet carriers, or plastic travel carriers only. Unfortunately, we can’t accept cardboard boxes, plastic totes, cats on leashes or harnesses, or uncontained cats.
- We can’t vaccinate puppies under 6 weeks or kittens under 4 weeks.
- Two pets per adult, please!

Healthy pets make for happy homes, and we’re thankful for every person who helps keep their animals safe and protected.

Pet of the Week: Meet Chunky! 🐱

Chunky is a handsome black and white cat who is 13 years young and ready to celebrate new beginnings. At his age, he’s not afraid to start over and find his place, and he’s bringing a whole lot of personality along with him. 💛

This guy is silly, affectionate, and his love is just like his size: abundant! Chunky is ready to crawl right into your lap at any moment he can, and once he’s there, he’s happy to stay all day.

His wish list is short and sweet. A place to stretch his legs, a cozy life as a spoiled senior, and, if it’s not too much to ask, a sunny spot to sit in.☀️

His adoption fee is also fully sponsored by Arm & Hammer!

If you can picture this lovable guy dozing on your couch (or on you!), come meet him today!🌟

Happy Tails for Lovie! 🐾💕

Lovie was adopted back in September, and her forever family said her name stayed because it fit her so well, and we couldn’t agree more.

She’s settled in beautifully and is a little ball of energy who keeps her people cracking up with her antics. She loves chirping at the birds and squirrels outside, is always ready to play, and has warmed up to her resident cat sister, Ruby. The two are now cohabitating peacefully!🐱

Stories like Lovie’s are why we do what we do! And there are so many more pets waiting for their own happy tails. Could you be the reason one of them gets a happy ending? See all of our adoptable animals on our website and stop by during our adoption hours to meet all the pets looking for their person!🏡

Happy Caturday! Meet Star and Galaxy, two 3-month-old brothers who are almost too cute to handle.🐱✨

Both boys have cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), sometimes called “wobbly cat syndrome.” It means their brains developed a little differently, so they’re wobbly and a bit clumsy. CH isn’t painful and it doesn’t get worse over time. These guys eat, drink, use the litterbox, and play just like any other kitten. They might take a little longer to get where they’re going, but everyone knows it’s about the journey anyway!

Star has a sweet, shining personality that dazzles everyone he meets. Picture a tiny, fluffy-footed wobble heading your way, giving it his all, and arriving with the sweetest face. Zero chance you’ll be able to resist.🌟

Galaxy is a truly out-of-this-world kitten and one of a kind in every way. Between the wobbly zoomies and the adorable little stumbles, he’ll have you hooked in about two seconds and ready to make him the center of your universe.💫

They’re living with their foster family while they wait for their forever one. Want to set up a meet and greet or learn more about CH? Email us at [email protected] 💌

We’ve got three pint-sized pups who are ready to smake you laugh and claim their spot on your couch. They’re small in size, huge in personality, and they’re all hoping YOU are their person. Meet the three guys ready to steal your heart:

🍝 Alfredo (2 yrs): This sweet, curious goofball has a puppy face you can’t say no to. He’s equal parts playtime and chill time, and he lives for being as close as possible to his people.

🐰 Zippy (3 yrs): Aptly named and always down to clown! Zippy’s signature bunny hops while chasing his toys will keep you giggling, and he’s just as happy to wind down with a cuddle!

🍬 Twizzler (8 yrs): Sweet like candy and the chilliest Terrier you’ll ever meet. Don’t let the age fool you, he still loves a good walk and play session. Just picture those big, beautiful eyes greeting you at the door every single day.

Come say hi to these guys anytime during our adoption hours!

Pet of the Week: Sylvester! 🐱

Sylvester is a 1-year-old gentleman who always has a lot on his mind, and he’s not afraid to tell you all about it! His main complaint in life? That you aren’t currently petting him!

This chatty guy loves to keep up a lively conversation and follow you around to see what you’re up to, so you’ll never lose track of him. At his core, Sylvester is a total sweetheart who just wants your love, attention, and a steady stream of pets.💛

His adoption fee is also fully sponsored by Arm & Hammer!

Could you be the cozy home he’s been waiting for? Stop by and say hello! 🛏️

Spike, formerly known as Offset, was a bubbly pocket pittie when he was staying with us at the shelter, and now he continues to be his expressive-self as he lives his best life with his new family!🏠🐾

He quickly took to his new name, found an inseparable best friend in his brother Cannoli, and is obsessed with stealing dish towels and running laps around the house with them.

His family says he’s “the most sweetest loving ball of energy,” and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you to Spike’s family for giving him the home he deserved! 💛
