We will be posting updates on these pups when they arrive and are finally in safe hands. 🐾
Willie’s owner died & he’s been waiting for a new forever person since February! 😭 He’d love a person to spoil him, take him for car rides, and snuggle him for the rest of his days 💕🐾
On Jan. 8, a stray dog came to us. We scanned the pup for a microchip and found she had one. We contacted her mom, who was overjoyed because Lucy had been missing for 6 months! We were able to reunite these two and are so happy they get to live happily ever after 🥰
Ziggy is waiting patiently for Santa's arrival tonight 🎅🎄 Don't forget that we're closed to the public today and tomorrow. Have a relaxing and peaceful Christmas Eve!
