🐹🐇 Small Animal Enrichment & Puppy Pads Needed! W 🐹🐇 Small Animal Enrichment & Puppy Pads Needed!

We currently have over 100 small animals in our care, including guinea pigs, chinchillas, and rabbits. Many of these animals came to us through an ongoing investigation, which means they are not available for adoption or fostering yet. Until custody is decided, our dedicated staff is providing all the care they need. With so many animals, we are in dire need of small animal enrichment items to keep them happy, healthy, and engaged.

We’re also running low on puppy pads, which are essential for many of our animals and programs throughout the shelter.

📦 You can shop our Amazon Wishlist here: https://amzn.to/3VWFuTl
🏠 In-person donations are always welcome during our open hours: Tuesday-Friday 1-6 PM and Saturday 12-4 PM

Every donation, big or small, helps our team provide comfort, stimulation, and care for these animals while they wait for their forever chance at safety and stability. Thank you for supporting our animals and helping our staff give them the love and care they need 🐾

Buck has taken over front desk duty today… and let Buck has taken over front desk duty today… and let’s just say customer service has never been this adorable! 🐾

At just 7 months old, this Doberman mix is deep in his awkward teenage phase. All legs, oversized paws, and goofy energy, Buck is still growing into those feet of his. Every now and then he forgets where they all are and gives us a little clumsy moment… but honestly, that just makes him even more lovable.

He’s sweet, silly, a little shy, and very excited about his new role as today’s official greeter. If you stop by, don’t be surprised if you’re welcomed by a wiggly, big-pawed teenager who is very proud of himself for saying hello.

Buck is hanging out at the front desk greeting visitors today, so stop by during open hours to meet him! And who knows… you might just fall in love with this goofy growing boy. 🐶💙

That’s right… you can celebrate your big day surrounded by wagging tails and happy hearts!

Our most recent birthday crew had an absolute blast with a behind-the-scenes shelter tour, handmade pup cups, custom bracelets and bandanas, and the best part… meet-and-greets with four of our adoptable stars: Zinger, LilMama, Falcon, and Douglas. 🐶💛 Puppy kisses may or may not have stolen the spotlight.

There were smiles, laughter, and plenty of puppy kisses. It was a party with purpose and paws-itively unforgettable!
