🐾 We need our community now more than ever.

On March 19th, our shelter received 25 dogs as part of a seizure case. Joining the 18 already in our care, that's 43 dogs depending on us every single day. Our incredible staff has been working extra-long hours to make sure every one of them is fed, walked, loved, and medically cared for — and we are so proud of each and every one of them.

In the nearly two weeks since the dogs arrived, we have already spent thousands of dollars treating internal parasites, providing flea medications, and covering the daily cost of care. There is no reimbursement mechanism for these expenses — it comes entirely out of our resources.

We are asking for your help. Every dollar, every donated supply, and every foster home makes a real difference right now.

Here's how you can help:
💛 Donate — financial contributions go directly to medical care and daily needs
🏠 Foster — open your home temporarily to one of our dogs
📦 Donate supplies — food, towels, leashes, beds, and more
📢 Share this post — help us reach more of our amazing community

We are endlessly grateful for the support this community shows us and the animals we are entrusted to care for. Thank you for whatever help you can provide. 🐶❤️
