💖 Piper Update! 💖

We’re happy to share some wonderful news about Piper! 🐾

After being diagnosed heartworm positive, our amazing and supportive community stepped up and donated toward her treatment — and because of you, Piper is thriving.

✨ Piper is doing very well and is now in her last phase of treatment!

🏡 She’s also on a foster-to-adopt journey with her forever humans and is already making herself right at home.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and cheered Piper on. Your kindness truly changed her life! 💕

🐾 Sirius & Neville Had a Big Day Out! 🐾

Sirius and Neville spent today out and about, enjoying some great socialization time! From meeting new people to taking in new sights and smells, both boys did a wonderful job staying curious, calm, and confident. Experiences like these help build positive behaviors and set them up for success in their forever homes.

We’re so proud of how well they did today—who wouldn’t love these two sweet faces? ❤️
