🌟💙 Giving Tuesday is almost here! 💙🌟
This season, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve expanded our reach to include two incredible smaller rescues who are making a BIG difference: Fix and Feed and Harley’s Animal Haven 🐾. Alongside our ongoing efforts, these organizations are working tirelessly to give animals the love, care, and second chances they deserve.
✨ The best part? Even the smallest gift can make a huge impact.
• A $5 donation helps provide food, medicine, and comfort.
• A single item from our Chewy Wish List brings joy and relief to animals waiting for their forever homes.
Together, we’re supporting three amazing organizations this month, and with your help, we can spread kindness even further. 💕
👉 Join us in celebrating Giving Tuesday by giving what you can — because every act of generosity counts, and every paw deserves hope. 🐶🐱

To our incredible Volunteers, our dedicated Animal Control Officers at Wallingford Animal Control, our partners at the Wallingford Public Library, Soul Friends, Inc, the The DooWop Cruisers, Dragonfly Wine & Spirits , Deb Jaffe Realtor, Catalyst Art Studio—and to every single one of YOU who has shared our posts, attended our events, adopted from the shelter, or simply asked, “How can we help?”

Thank you.

This group came together with one purpose: to be the voice for the animals the world has too often disregarded. Because of your compassion, your time, your generosity, and your willingness to stand with us, we are able to help them, and countless other animals throughout our community.

Every share.
Every donation.
Every adoption.
Every moment you’ve shown up…
It all matters more than you know.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for helping us help them. Together, we are changing lives.

Happy Thanksgiving

🐾 Paws for Reading Has a VIP (Very Important Pup) Coming! 🐾

We are so excited to announce that Ellie—a big, snuggly English Mastiff and amazing service dog—will be joining us as our special guest listener for the December 13th reading session!

Ellie loves stories, calm voices, and making new friends. Kids are invited to bring a short story to read to her during a cozy 15-minute session. Up to three children can join each reading time, making it the perfect chance to practice reading out loud with a gentle giant who’s all ears… literally!

Get ready for wiggles, wags, and wonderful reading fun. Don’t miss your chance to meet Ellie the lovable service dog and share a story with her! 🐶💙📖
