20 dogs and our last FeLV+ cat went home this weekend!!

This weekend we had an emergency Howl-O-Ween special after an emergency surrender of 5 dogs sent us over max capacity. Not only did so many dogs find their matches this weekend, but Tau, our only FeLv+ went home too!

We went from having a room full of FeLv+ kitties in the beginning of the year to an empty room, after our last FeLv+ cat, Endora, went into foster care a few months ago. Once Tau was surrendered, we made sure to share him on social media so he wouldn’t be here long, and sure enough, he was adopted a few days later!

We’ve also been pushing hard to work against “black dog syndrome”. It isn’t only black cats who are sometimes looked over by prospective adopters. Whether the black coats are just less visible in the kennels or they are seen as “bland”, black dogs tend to spend more time in the shelter. We had over 10 black dogs in our care at one time, but after posts on social media, 4 went home during our special!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to adopt their new best friend and giving our pets a chance to show you their individually unique personalities. Thank you to our very close friends at Terry Subaru for being our October sponsor for #SubaruLovesPets.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s come out so far to support us during #SubaruLovesPets month!!

We are so thrilled for all the pets who found loving homes during our last sponsored adoption event on National Make A Dog’s Day. Terry Subaru has already raised so much money and a hefty pet food collection from Subaru sales and test drives but you still have 4 days to get out there to do your part! For every test drive through the end of October, Terry Subaru will donate a bag a of pet food, and for every purchase of a Subaru they will donate $100 toward the pets!

Thank you so much Terry Subaru for hosting us and ASPCA for organizing this national wide event for good.

What’s better than one rescue…?

One day a family is at the shelter looking at young dogs and the next thing we know, little Ray is going home. But that family met so many awesome dogs. So many dogs who need homes. And they have the room. So they came back the next day and before we knew it, little Simba was going home.

Ray even got to meet and approve her new sibling.

Thank you so much to the adopters of these two girls and thank you Terry Subaru for being our sponsor and making stories like this possible!

Thank you for adopting over 150 pets this week!!

Autumn is here and with it so many wonderful adoptions! It’s not too hot and not too cold the perfect weather for our pets to go home and enjoy their new lives.

Once of the lucky pets to go home this week was Loki. Loki was surrendered to us a few weeks ago after living in a home his whole life. Loki is almost 12 years old and as far as we understand it he started to get a little overwhelmed with the young children in the home. But last week a gentleman with all the time in the world for a new best friend, and no young children came in to adopt Loki. We’re glad he didn’t have to spend any unnecessary time in the shelter. Thank you to Loki’s amazing adopter.

Our longest stay Jacklyn is HOME!!

Jacklyn has been in our care since June of 2025 after her owner sadly passed away. Jacklyn is 8 years old and has only 2 teeth, and out of all the cats she came in with, Jacklyn has always been the most shy. One by one, they were adopted while Jacklyn stayed behind. After spending quite a while in a temporary foster home and then coming back to the shelter this year, we really wanted to get some more eyes on Jacklyn. We started a social media campaign, and also decided to move her from the condos where she lived by herself to the front of our building, to the quiet and calm Green Sunroom.

Out of the 7 cats she came in with, Jacklyn has been the most shy, so even though she is so fun and beautiful and loves to chat, the general public never seemed to ask about her.

But then a few weeks ago, a woman started browsing around the shelter. Her own senior cat had recently passed away, so she wasn’t sure if she was even prepared to adopt, but she still found joy being around the cats in the shelter. Then she met Jacklyn. She couldn’t stop thinking about her. One day at her own vet, she was telling a tech about her, and by some crazy coincidence the tech had previously known Jacklyn!! She told her how she was, of course, shy and nervous, but she truly believed Jacklyn would be perfect for her. So she came early this week to adopt.

She was so excited to take Jacklyn home, and because she knows just how much we’ve been rooting for Jacklyn, she has already sent us an update.

Her adopter shared the following along with some photos of them getting to know each other:

“I am so thrilled with how it’s going so far! She did spend the first couple of hours hiding in the bathroom… but this morning I put her food in the kitchen where I’ve fed my other cats in the past, and she found it really quickly after I walked away. From looking at cameras, I see that after I went to bed, she spent a few hours exploring all over.” “I gave her another Churu on a plate after breakfast today, and after that I offered her my hand, and she actually walked over and sniffed it! She probably was just hoping for another Churu, but I’m thrilled anyway. I’ll keep letting her decide when to come out and when to come to me, but I think this is such a good start! I love her already.”
