Friends!

We are in need of some items for the dogs and cats calling Ayres home!

From essentials and fun stuff like yummy treats for the dogs, canned food and churos for the cats, to the not fun stuff like cat litter and everything in between it seems!

Our greatest needs right now are laundry soap and clumping cat litter, and both cat and dog canned food - we aren't stuck on any certain brands - anything gets the job done! The only thing we are particular on is kinds of kibble we give - so kitties do best with Purina Complete Cat Chow and thanks to lots of amazing people - or main dog population is stacked with the food the majority uses to keep their bellies full. ♥

Meet Luca 🐾

Around 2 years old, Luca is a pittie mix with a goofy personality, a heart full of love, and a smile that could most definitely cure bad days.

Luca loves people, enjoys hanging out with other dogs, has lived with cats, and does well with kids too. While he can occasionally be a little shy when first meeting someone new, it doesn’t take long before his silly, lovable side comes bursting out.

He’s the kind of dog who’s happiest just being included in life — whether that means car rides, outdoor adventures, lazy afternoons, or simply following his favorite people around with that big happy grin on his face.

Honestly, Luca is just a go-with-the-flow kinda guy. A sweet, goofy ding d**g who wants to love everyone and enjoy every moment along the way. 💛

🐾 Luca’s Facts
• Around 2 years old
• Pit mix
• Loves people
• Good with other dogs
• Has lived with cats
• Good with kids
• Rides great in the car
• Award for best smile

If you’re looking for a best friend who will make you laugh, join you on adventures, and love you with his whole heart — Luca is waiting. ❤️

Meet Thistle.

This sweet 5-year-old Beagle girl came to us as a stray after clearly having a rough time on her own — arriving with porcupine quills stuck in her face and legs. But even through all of that discomfort and uncertainty, Thistle remained the gentle, sensitive soul she is today.

At around 25 pounds, Thistle is the perfect little size and has such a quiet, loving presence about her. She does well with other dogs and absolutely comes alive when she’s outside, especially if she gets to run through the grass with her ears flapping in the breeze.

She’s the kind of dog who may take a moment to fully open up, but once she does, you can see just how special she really is. 💛

🐾 Thistle’s Facts
• 5 years old
• Beagle
• Around 25 lbs
• Good with other dogs
• Sweet & sensitive personality
• Loves running in the grass

After everything she’s been through, Thistle deserves a soft place to land and people who will never let her face the world alone again.

Meet Buck!

This handsome 6–7-year-old Shepherd mix has been through more than most dogs ever should. When Buck first arrived, he was so weak he had to lay down just to be weighed. Watching him now, though? You would never believe it.

Because these days, there’s no stopping Buck.
Buck has rediscovered how good life can be — sunshine on his face, walks with his people, car rides with the windows cracked, and most importantly… TOYS. Lots and lots of toys. This boy absolutely lights up when he gets one, and seeing his playful side come out after everything he’s overcome is something really special.

He loves people, enjoys the company of some other dogs, and would do best with older kids who can respect his space and excitement. He’s also housebroken and rides great in the car, making him the perfect adventure buddy.

More than anything, Buck deserves a family who sees him the way we do: resilient, loving, goofy, and so incredibly worthy of a happy ending. 🥺

🐾 Buck’s Facts
• 6–7 years old
• Shepherd mix
• 55–60 lbs
• Housebroken
• Rides great in the car
• Loves toys
• Loves people
• Good with some dogs
• Best with older kids
• Enjoys walks & sunshine

Buck fought hard for his second chance. Now he just needs someone to share it with. ❤️
