🧺 Towels
🧸 New or gently used animal toys
🛏️ New or gently used pet beds

Have items at home you’d like to donate? We’ll happily put them to good use!

Today is the big day! We saved sweet little Thumper this morning! She’s a fragile senior chi with big heart and lots of love! She spent the afternoon exploring and seeing the great outdoors. May have had a bite or several of our cheeseburger. We want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing ACOs at Shelton CT Animal Control! They not only do an outstanding job but go out of their way to make sure these animals get great homes and are very taken care of in the meantime and were a dream to work with! We are now on our way to the vet for her 2:00 appointment for a checkup. If you’d like to help Thumper we appreciate any help! And if you’d like to be a future foster get that application in!

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Today we celebrate the unconditional love, loyalty, and joy that dogs bring into our lives. ❤️

Shelters are filled with loving, special dogs who each have their own personality, needs, quirks, and story. Some need patience. Some need confidence-building. Some need an active family. Others simply need someone willing to give them the time and love they deserve.

But every single one deserves a chance. 🐶❤️

If you’re considering adding a pet to your family, please consider adoption. Your perfect match may be waiting for you at your local shelter—and by adopting, you’re not only changing one dog’s life, you’re making room for another dog in need.

Adopt. Love. Save a life.
