🐾 It’s National Dog Day! What better day to highlight some of our longest-stay dogs are still waiting for a home. 💛

Today is a day to celebrate the dogs we love and the joy they bring to our lives. For these dogs, we’re hoping this is the year they finally find their person.

🐶 Harnette: 300 days in rescue and cleared for adoption
🐶 Eva: 412 days in rescue and cleared for adoption
🐶 Bebe: 677 days in rescue and cleared for adoption
🐶 Zena: 1,947 days in rescue and cleared for adoption
🐶 Theo: 91 days in shelter and still waiting for a foster home in order to be cleared for adoption

Zena has spent more than five years waiting for a family. Bebe has been waiting nearly two years. Eva, Harnette and Theo are also still waiting for someone to give them a chance.

These dogs deserve a home, a family and the opportunity to be loved.

If you’re able to adopt, foster or even share this post, you could help one of these dogs get one step closer to finding their forever home. 🏡🐾

It's a full house! 🐾🚐🏠Yesterday we welcomed 20 new cats into our care. All with the help of our friends at KBB Transport who transported our newest furry friends.
