Meet Olive. 🐰💚 Olive has been through a lot. Afte Meet Olive. 🐰💚 Olive has been through a lot. After her owner sadly passed away, this sweet girl found herself searching for a new place to call home. While she's a little shy at first, all she really needs is a little patience and kindness to let her true personality shine. Once she feels comfortable, Olive loves gentle pets and will happily soak up the attention. She's a quiet, affectionate bunny who enjoys spending time with the people she trusts. But don't let her sweet nature fool you. Olive has a wonderfully sassy side, too! When she's decided she's had enough cuddles, she'll make her opinion known by tossing her toys or rearranging her space. It's her funny little way of saying, "Okay, that's enough for today." We think it makes her even more lovable. Olive is looking for someone who understands that trust takes time and that every bunny has their own unique personality. If you're ready to give this gentle girl the fresh start she deserves, she just might be the perfect addition to your family.

🌡️ Heat Advisory: Protect Your Pets This Summer 🌡️ Heat Advisory: Protect Your Pets This Summer Extreme heat can be dangerous for pets, and they can overheat much faster than we do. A few simple precautions can make a big difference in keeping your furry family members safe. 💧 Keep water available at all times. Make sure pets always have access to fresh, cool water and a shaded place to rest. 🚶 Walk wisely. Hot pavement can burn sensitive paws in seconds. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Aim for early morning or late evening walks. 🚗 Never leave a pet in a parked car. Temperatures inside a vehicle can become deadly within minutes, even with the windows cracked. 🥵 Know the signs of heatstroke. Watch for excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, disorientation, or collapse. Move your pet to a cool area, offer cool (not ice) water, and seek veterinary care immediately. 🏡 Help them stay cool. Keep pets indoors during the hottest parts of the day when possible, or provide a cool, shaded area with good airflow. Remember: if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them. Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy your summer! ☀️💙 #HeatSafety #PetSafety #SummerSafety #HSDayton

If you're looking for an easygoing best friend, Ty If you're looking for an easygoing best friend, Tye Dye would love to meet you! 🐱💙 This handsome guy is currently hanging out in our open cat room, greeting visitors with his curious personality. He's friendly and social, but like many cats, he appreciates a little time to get comfortable before he's fully ready to soak up all the attention. Once he knows you, he's happy to accept pets and show off just how sweet he is. When he's not making new friends, you'll probably find him enjoying a tasty treat or watching birds outside through the window. Tye Dye has the perfect mix of curiosity, affection, and laid-back charm. If that sounds like your kind of companion, come meet him today!
