Zoe’s foster was a success!

Zoe was in our care for months before she found her best friend! Zoe was adopted from us as a puppy and a few years later she was surrendered to a small shelter nearby. When we found out she was there we went over to pick her up. She was a bit shy but we were confident that could be managed. Unfortunately her anxiety only got worse the longer she was here and people were hindered by her size and nervousness, so she was here much longer than we expected.

It’s when we began to worry for her when her saving grace came out of the wood work! Like many people’s concern who had visited Zoe before, staff member Taylor wasn’t sure if she’d have room in her home for Zoe having two dogs already. But she loved her, and wanted to give her a fair chance so she took her home and introduced her to her gang! It started our as weekend trips away from the shelter, then slowly became more. She didn’t intend on keeping her, just giving her decompression time, a warm place to rest and to help her find a home. But fate had other plans. Last week she made the final decision to adopt Zoe and officially make her a part of the family.

Thank you Taylor for giving Zoe the life she deserves and thank you Petco Love for being this month’s banner sponsor.

After 2 months on the run, Shy Guy is finally home!

Recognize this boy? Shy Guy, who was on the run for several months and was saved by two incredibly dedicated community members, spent the last month decompressing, went on a weekend stay with his rescuers for a slow reintroduction to home life, and then he was officially put up for adoption last week! Spoiler alert…Shy Guy is NOT so shy! This sweet boy immediately fell into a rhythm, and with consistency and routine in his new home, he will be more secure and confident than ever!

Thank you so much to his new family for giving this boy a shot. He’s headed home with a new sister so we know he’ll be loving his new life!! Shout out to Petco Love for being this month’s banner sponsors.

Miss Ivy is Home!!

It finally happened. After nearly a year in the shelter, FeLV+ kitty Miss Ivy was finally adopted this weekend!
Miss Ivy was surrendered to us when her owners had to move, and while she was very happy and healthy, we discovered through routine testing that she was FeLV+. She has lived in our Blue Sunroom ever since and has watched as all the other FeLV cats get adopted one after the other. Until last week. We shared her on socials and explained that while she may not be as outwardly social or melodramatic as other cats, she is still affectionate and sweet and deserves a good home.

And thankfully someone saw it and took her home. They have already shared an update on her about how much she is cherished. Here is a word from them: “Thank you so much for letting my family adopt Miss Ivy! She loves to cuddle up in the blanket while listening to tv. She loves when it’s bedtime more cuddles with her human mom. She loves sitting on her new cat condo toy like a princess.”

We are so happy for Miss Ivy and appreciate her new family for giving her a good home! Thank you so much to Petco Love for being this month’s sponsor!

Our kennels were FULL last week, but not any more!!

Mid last week, we were already struggling with our dog population levels, and then we got word that Animal Control would be bringing in 10 dogs from one home for housing. We were forced to double up the rest of our kennels. We immediately launched an adoption special to make room for these dogs to live comfortably and get our longer-stay dogs into homes! We discounted all dog adoption fees to $20 and made all VIP pets half off. For the 250th birthday of America, we had a pretty good turnout with many long-stay and big dogs going home, including Macaroni, Marshall, Flex, Notorious, Archer, and more not pictured!

Thank you so much to everyone who adopted this weekend ahead of the 4th of July. We have many more adoptions to come, but we’re so happy for the ones who got to be out of the shelter when the fireworks went off!
