đź’” Not Every Dog Is a Looker... But Every Dog Deserves a Chance.

We know Bully isn't the dog most people stop scrolling for. He's a brown dog with an ambiguous breed mix and a serious face. We even tried getting new pictures, hoping to help people see him differently. But Bully is Bully, and we refuse to give up on him just because he isn't what people consider picture-perfect.

Meet Bully, a 5-year-old, 41-pound Pit mix who has already endured more than any dog should. He was seized by Animal Control due to neglect, suffering from severe ear infections, skin issues, and yeast infections. He's received treatment and is feeling better, but he'll need a family prepared to keep up with his ongoing veterinary care.

Despite his rough past, Bully is a loving, people-oriented boy who adores attention, enjoys walks, and has the softest, velvety ears. He's still learning that the world can be a safe place, and he needs someone willing to give him patience, kindness, and time.

Maybe his pictures won't stop you in your tracks. Maybe he doesn't have the face that gets hundreds of likes. But Bully has a heart that deserves to be loved just as much as any other dog.

After everything he's been through, we aren't giving up on him. We believe someone out there will look past his serious expression and see the sweet boy waiting for his chance.

Please be that person. ❤️

ON HOLD

đź’” After Over 13 Years of Love and Loyalty, Chopper Has Lost His Home at 14

Meet Chopper, a 14-year-old Husky mix who never imagined he would be starting over at this stage of his life. After 13 years with his family, his owner moved and couldn't take him along. Now, this sweet senior is left wondering where his family went and why he's suddenly living in a shelter.

At 14, Chopper should be spending his days resting on a soft bed, surrounded by familiar faces and the people he loves. Instead, he's facing a world of unfamiliar sounds, smells, and strangers when all he deserves is comfort and security.

Chopper knows sit, loves treats, and was reportedly potty trained and lived with children and other dogs. His coat needs extra care, too, and he'll need someone patient and gentle as it recovers.

Thirteen years is a lifetime of loyalty. Chopper gave his family so many years of companionship, and now he needs someone willing to give him a safe place to spend whatever time he has left.

Please don't let this sweet old boy spend his final years waiting in a shelter. He deserves a soft place to land, a loving hand to rest his head in, and a family who will make sure he never has to start over again. đź’”

Guess that breed mix! Can you guess Trixie's breeds?

Trixie was adopted into a loving home and her family just HAD to know what breeds made up her beautiful mix. She has 3 confirmed breeds in her with some supermutt! It can be pretty hard to guess all 3, but can you guess the top breed or two? Comment your guesses below. Bonus points for anyone who can guess the other breeds in her. Come back to our page later today to see the results posted.

Can we get 200 people to donate $25? Help Prevent Unwanted Litters!

Dogs like Valkyrie come to us all the time after clearly having litter after litter. Affordable spay and neuter services are essential to preventing unwanted litters and reducing the number of animals entering shelters.

Our $99 Spay and Neuter Program helps local families access this lifesaving care, but we need your help to keep it going!

With the support of Tree Top, our True Companion, we're raising $5,000 to support affordable spay and neuter services. Our goal is 200 people donating just $25 each!

We need YOU to make this happen! Please donate $25, share this post, and help us create a healthier, more humane community for pets and their families.

Every dollar counts!

Last week, we took in 83 animals and celebrated 79 success stories! From adoptions to transfers, it was a truly amazing week. Let's keep that good energy going!

Our website is full of wonderful animals looking for forever homes, including those who are often overlooked, like Bully. We know he might not be everyone's first choice, but he deserves a loving home just as much as any other animal.

Take a look at our adoptable animals and consider giving an overlooked friend like Bully a chance. His forever family is out there!

We love updates on our pups and are so happy Betty has had two good years and many more ahead of her!

An update on my adoption of Betty 2 years ago. When I lost my Boxer I realized I could not live without a dog. My niece viewed Betty on your website and was drawn to her immediately. We visited the same day and had a meet and greet. Honestly Betty chose me. She bounded into the room and sat next to me on the bench. I was greeted with slobbery kisses and it was all over. I took her home the same day. She has been a constant source of amusement and affection and devotion. She loves everyone. She is fearless, curious and very smart. Very eager to please. She has been a great addition to my family. If anyone is considering getting a new family member please consider adoption. Your life will be filled with gratitude and love. Thank you to the Shelter for caring for Betty until we met.
