Elle and Chippy are here and ready to meet you!
Stop by, say hi, and maybe even take one home 💛

Meet Elle
Elle is the total package. She’s house trained, does great with cats, dogs, and kids, and brings the perfect mix of sweet and playful energy. She’s always ready for fun and yes… the zoomies are very much included.

Meet Chippy

Both are here today at the front desk, so this is your chance to meet them without an appointment.

And if that’s not enough…
Tomorrow we’ll have a whole group of foster husky puppies popping in for the day 😍 so don’t miss your chance to meet them!

Hammy is popping back in today and hanging out at Hammy is popping back in today and hanging out at the front desk! If you missed your chance to meet him last week when he stopped by, now’s your chance 💛

Hammy is here today as part of our foster pet pop-in, so this is your chance to meet him without an appointment. He’s also officially back from foster and will be staying with us in the kennels, so even if you don’t make it in today, you’ll still have more chances to stop by and meet him.

This 6-month-old tripod pup may only have three legs, but he hasn’t let that slow him down for a second. Hammy keeps up with all the fun, all the zoomies, and all the excitement like it’s no big deal… because to him, it isn’t.

He’s playful, happy, and completely unbothered by the fact that he does life a little differently. If anything, it just makes him that much more special.

Come meet this goofy, joyful little guy and see just how much personality fits into three legs and one very good heart 🐾

It’s nice to give a treat to your rabbits from tim It’s nice to give a treat to your rabbits from time to time—but make sure you provide a balanced diet for them to stay happy and healthy! We recommend limiting treats like carrots and providing hay for most of their diet.

Last week we had an incredible group from LexisNex Last week we had an incredible group from LexisNexis volunteer with us, and we are so grateful for the time and support they gave to help keep our shelter clean and our animals well cared for.

While posing for their  group photo, a sweet dog named Stormie was brought out to meet and thank the team for their hard work. For most, it was a meaningful moment capturing a day of teamwork, support, and love, but for one volunteer, it became the start of a connection she just couldn’t shake.

After the group left for the day, Stormie stayed on that volunteer's mind.

She couldn’t stop thinking about her… she came back later with her family to see Stormie again. but this time, Stormie got to go home!

Sometimes a simple act of kindness can turn into a forever home for a shelter animal.

A big thank you to the LexisNexis group for supporting our mission and showing up for the animals in our care. Your time made a real difference in more ways than one! 💕

This stunning 2-year-old red husky mix is everything you’d expect and then some. Playful, energetic, and full of personality, Kodiak is always on the move and ready to turn any moment into an adventure!

He’s got that fun-loving, carefree outlook on life and doesn’t waste time overthinking… he just goes for it. Including making absolutely sure he marked that tree… and then double checking… and maybe checking again just to be safe 😂

Kodiak is here today as part of our foster pet pop-in, so this is your chance to meet him without an appointment. He’s also officially back from foster and will be staying with us in kennels, so if you don’t make it in today, you’ll still have a chance to stop by and meet him.
