💕 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY — GRACIE 💕

When Gracie first came to us, she was in rough shape—weak, severely underweight, scared, and desperately in need of care. Looking at her then, it was hard to imagine the happy girl she would become.

Gracie was given the care she needed and then welcomed into a foster home, where she had time to heal, gain strength, and learn what it meant to feel safe and loved. ❤️

And look at her now! 🥹 Gracie has officially been ADOPTED and has a family who says they simply couldn’t imagine their home without her in it.

From surviving to thriving, Gracie’s transformation is a reminder of exactly why second chances matter.

Same dog. Different life. Forever loved. 🐾💗

🐾 DID YOU KNOW FRIDAY? 🐾

Matted fur is more than just a cosmetic issue—it can become painful and lead to serious health problems for your pet.

Severe matting can:
🐾 Pull tightly on the skin, causing pain and discomfort
🐾 Trap moisture, dirt, and bacteria, leading to sores and skin infections
🐾 Hide wounds, parasites, and other medical concerns
🐾 Make it harder for pets to regulate their body temperature
🐾 Restrict movement when mats form around the legs and joints

Regular brushing and grooming aren’t just about keeping your pet looking good—they’re an important part of keeping them healthy and comfortable. ❤️

The before-and-after photos on this week’s flyer are a great example of just how much of a difference proper grooming can make!

A healthy coat helps make a healthy, happy pet. 🐶🐾

🐾 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY — FRITZ 🐾

Fritz was found by a good person after breaking free, still carrying part of the chain that once held him and suffering from a severely embedded collar.

At the shelter, we removed the collar, treated his wounds, and discovered he was also heartworm positive. Through everything, Fritz remained the sweetest, friendliest pup. ❤️

Thankfully, one of our rescue partners stepped in, got Fritz the heartworm treatment he needed, and sent him on transport to his new life.

Today, Fritz has a loving home, comfy places to sleep, and even a four-legged friend of his own. Most importantly, he will never again have to worry about life on a chain or tether.

Same dog. Different life. Finally loved. 🐾❤️

A HUGE thank you to Carsons Farm & Garden Inc for their incredible donation to our shelter!

They donated 12 bags of cat food and 17 bags of dog food — that’s a whole lot of full bellies! 🐶🐱

Donations like this make such a difference for the animals in our care, and we are incredibly grateful for businesses in our community who continue to support our shelter and the animals we serve.

Thank you, Carson’s, for helping us keep our tails wagging and our bowls full!🩷🐾

🐾 DID YOU KNOW FRIDAY? 🐾

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition spread through the bite of an infected mosquito—but it is preventable!

❤️ Prevention is safer, easier and much cheaper than treatment. Treating heartworm disease can be costly, stressful and require months of restricted activity.

A simple monthly heartworm preventive can:

✅ Protect your dog from heartworm disease
✅ Help prevent several common intestinal parasites, depending on the product
✅ Protect your pup’s heart, lungs and overall health
✅ Save you from the expense and worry of heartworm treatment

Even indoor dogs are at risk because mosquitoes can easily get inside. Speak with your veterinarian about heartworm testing and the best year-round preventive for your pet.

One dose each month can provide protection all year long! 🐶❤️

Prevention is protection—and your pup is worth it!
