ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
🐾 Sully needs our help. 🐾
Sully came to us from Delaware County Dog Shelter with a very large mass growing on the side of his face. We’re incredibly grateful that, despite this, Sully has remained his happy, wiggly self since arriving at the shelter. ❤️
Our clinic will be removing the mass and sending it out for testing to determine whether or not it is cancerous. Regardless of the results, removing it will give Sully a better quality of life and one less thing standing in the way of him living his best life.
Medical care like this can be costly, but we believe every animal who comes through our doors deserves the care they need. Donations help us provide lifesaving and life-changing medical treatment for animals like Sully — and for the many others who need us every day.
If you’re able, please consider making a donation to help support Sully’s care and the medical needs of animals just like him. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. 🐾❤️

Thank you for helping us give animals like Sully the second chances they deserve.

Stories like this are why we do what we do. ❤️
Reading updates like this reminds us that adoption changes lives in ways we may never fully see. Naomi found her family when she needed one most—but it sounds like they found each other at exactly the right time.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey with Naomi and for giving her the love, patience, and forever home she deserves. Seeing our former shelter pets thriving with their families is the greatest reward.
Wishing you both many more years of deep breaths, unconditional love, and happy memories together. 🐾❤️

💚🐾Another successful doggy playgroup! 🐾💚
Yesterday, Gypsy and Prescott had the chance to spend some time together, and they were both all smiles! These two very adoptable pups had a blast running, playing, and socializing in our front yard.
Playgroups are a great way for dogs to burn off energy, build confidence, and show off their social skills—and Gypsy and Prescott did an amazing job! They got along wonderfully, enjoyed plenty of exercise, and had so much fun together.
If you're looking for a dog who enjoys canine companionship and is ready for a loving home, be sure to keep Gypsy and Prescott in mind. Could one of these happy pups be your new best friend?
🐶 Watch them in action below, and apply to adopt!
