Just a friendly reminder, from Duke the donut dog, that when you buy donuts this month, you help financially assist countless families with the cost of spay/neuter/vaccine services.

Today before 10am, we got 2 calls from people asking if they could buy Easter bunnies for their grandkids.

We kindly explained that rabbits aren’t toys and why it’s really not a good idea. One hung up on us and the other responded with a sarcastic “Geez thanks a lot,” before hanging up on us.

So as we approach Easter, we feel it’s important to remind everyone that pets - bunnies specifically - aren’t gifts.

Here are some facts:

Cages are too small for them.

They can spray p*e.

Bunnies live 8-12 years.

They bite to deglove.

They are a separate species than cottontails and cannot live outdoors.

Bunnies are prey animals and typically do not like to be picked up or snuggled.

80% of unspayed females get uterine cancer.

They are considered exotic animals due to the care they require.

Buns p**p 200-300 times a day.

80% of their diet is hay, which doesn’t go well for people with allergies.

Bunnies make wonderful pets, but they're a lot more work than people expect.

If you think you might consider adopting, know you’re going to wind up purchasing a bunny as an Easter gift, or just like bunnies, please take our free virtual education course here: https://forms.gle/rNTYqNijXz9Qc65i8. ANYONE is welcome to join!

This is why we exist, in hopes that we can lessen these heartbreaking decisions. 💔🐶🐱

Today was a stark reminder of the heartbreaking realities of homelessness. We assisted two different individuals forced to surrender their beloved dogs due to their own circumstances. One gentleman, homeless since his house burned down in December, tearfully gave up Dingo, his mother's dog he promised to care for. Hours later, a woman living in her car with her daughter and cat made the agonizing decision to surrender her dog, Bubby of ten years.
Our shelter was at capacity, and Dingo showed signs of loyal aggression, requiring a transfer to the K9 Center. Our Executive Director made sure both owners reached safety and support with driving the gentleman to Christ’s Table for resources. These weren't easy choices, but survival demanded them. Reclaiming is not an option for either individual. They have very limited financial resources & cannot afford the additional costs associated with housing with pets.
Financial restrictions are just one issue associated with pet ownership.
There is no shame in homelessness or in loving an animal so much that you prioritize their well-being, even through surrender. The true shame lies in a system that forces such painful separations. Tonight, two heartbroken owners are without their companions, and two confused, scared dogs are missing their families. Animals feel deeply. Let's remember the love and loss on both sides of this difficult equation. Tonight, hearts are broken on both ends of the leash. We must do better. 🐾💔
