🌟MEET COLLEEN!🌟

Colleen knows exactly who she is and honestly, that is something to respect. 2 year old Colleen will absolutely love you, just not all the time and strictly on her own terms. Her affection is the kind that is appointment only and there is a very limited window of availability. We don't mean any of this in a negative way - Colleen is a wonderful, vibrant, friendly, and social girl! But we aren't sure if she will ever be a lap cat and want to be honest about that (for both yours and Colleen's sake.) It is part of her charm and we love her for it!

Colleen is up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, current on prevention, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She is independent, emotionally in-tune with her own needs, and feels that love is earned and not expected. For the right person, Colleen would be a calm presence, a respectful companion, and the most beautiful little bestie.

All pets are behaviorally and medically evaluated prior to being placed up for adoption. The adoption fee is $77.

We are so pleased to share that the final remaining pets of the 𝟓𝟓 dog hoarding case have moved to rescue transfer placements. These pups came in to us very neglected and unsocialized. We are extremely appreciative to BISSELL Pet Foundation for partnering with us to coordinate transferring these dogs to rescues with fosters that were prepared to take on the continued medical treatment and socialization that they will require for rehabilitation. We would like to recognize the rescues that partnered with Bissell and our shelter to make this lifesaving mission happen.

MEET SHIRLEY!

STATS: 1 Year Old, spayed, American Staff Mix, 37 lbs
AFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: Look out world – Shirley has arrived! I am a boisterous, playful, and energetic little lady with a whole lot of s***k and personality! I am super playful, especially with other dogs. I could run and play all day!
WHAT I LOVE: I love to play and hang out with my dog friends. I love people, to, and walk time is one of my favorite times of the day. I have a lot of puppy energy, so getting some energy out is essential.
KIDS: While I haven’t been formally tested with kids at the shelter, the staff thinks I would do well with kids that are kind and respectful towards me.
HER MATCH: I would do wonderfully in a home with a family willing to give me the time, love, and enrichment I need. Since I am still a puppy, I am learning all these new things every day – I would love someone to learn with! I would do wonderfully with another dog, but that definitely isn’ t necessary. I just want someone to love me!

BRONTE ENJOYED A DOGGY DAY OUT

Bronte's Doogy Day Out ambassador, Renee, tells us all about their excellent day together~

"Brontë is the sweetest little lady and she just wants to hang out and be BFFs! She is very easy to walk on a leash and is athletic and up for anything but also likes to sit and people watch. She is content just being by your side.

Brontë is a small girl and very easy to handle. She is friendly, social, sweet and quiet (she didn’t bark at all during our day out and we passed by several dogs). She is easy-going and gentle. She accepts kisses and hugs but does not lick or kiss back.

Everyone who met Brontë fell in love with her. She is very easy to bond with.

She shakes in the car and may need reassurance that the car is safe and she’s going to fun outings!

Brontë is a GREAT dog!! "

Thank you to Renee for showing everyone what a sweet girl Brontë was on her ❤️

Have we ever told you how amazing our Medical Techs are?

Each day these 3 amazing women come to work ready to face a shelter full of challenges. Most of the animals we take in are in poor medical condition. Through the extraordinary efforts of our Techs, the souls in our care are slowly nursed back to health. It is no small feat with approximately 300 animals to care for each day.

Please join us in celebrating our Medical Techs: Steph, Heather, and Hannah this National Vet Tech Appreciation Week!

You are amazing and we are thankful we have you! ❤️🐶🐱🐹🦜🐾
