🍎🧡 APPLE C***R IS ON TAP AND READY TO POUR HERSELF RIGHT INTO YOUR HEART! 🧡🍎

Fall may be here, but this Apple C***r is available year-round! 😍🍂

🐾 Just 1 year old and full of fun
🐾 Gorgeous red Coonhound/Doberman mix ❤️
🐾 Dog friendly and loves making canine companions 🐕
🐾 Loves every person she meets and is convinced everyone is her new best friend 🥰
🐾 Smart, playful, and eager to learn 🎓
🐾 Ready for adventures, couch cuddles, and everything in between 🏡

🍎 Fun fact: This Apple C***r is sweet, refreshing, and way better than anything you'll find at the farmers market! 😉

When Apple C***r arrived, she was extremely underweight. Thanks to lots of care and a slow refeeding plan, she's gaining healthy weight and looking better every day! 💪❤️ She still gets very excited about meals because she's learning that food will always be there for her.

🐱 We believe she may be a little too interested in cats, so a cat-free home may be her best fit.

✅ Adopters must have an established relationship with a veterinarian.

🍂 Apple C***r is overflowing with love, tail wags, and goofy energy. The only thing missing from her recipe is a forever family!

🥤 Warning: Side effects of adopting Apple C***r may include: 🍎 Excessive smiling 🍎 Constant companionship 🍎 Increased laughter 🍎 Random bursts of zoomies 🍎 Falling completely in love

📱 Interested in meeting this sweet girl? Text the Shelter Manager at 757-709-8103.

🍁🧡 Adopt Apple C***r today before someone else drinks up all this sweetness! 🍎🐾

🌟 Behind the Badge & Beyond the Kennels: Ask Your ACO and local shelter manager 🌟

Welcome to Friends of Animal Control Eastern Shore open discussion

Every Monday we’ll open a discussion thread where you can ask your local ACO officer and shelter manager the questions you’ve always wondered about:

- Shelter operations — how do things really work behind the scenes?
- Animal control procedures — what happens when officers respond in the field?
- Local laws — curious about ordinances and regulations?
- Community resources — want to know what support is available?

👉 On Monday, we’ll pick one comment to answer openly and honestly on Tuesday. So drop your questions below and join the conversation!

🐾👑 MEET ANDRE THE GIANT! 👑🐾

Looking for a dog with a giant head, a giant heart, and an even bigger personality? ❤️ Andre might just be your perfect match!

✨ Andre at a Glance: 🐶 2 years old
🐶 Akita/Mastiff mix
🐶 Dog-friendly with the right match
🐶 Children: Unknown
🐶 Loves people and attention
🐶 Ball-chasing enthusiast 🎾
🐶 Would thrive with a fenced yard 🏡
🐶 Larger breed experience preferred

❤️ Why Everyone Loves Andre: • This gentle giant has absolutely no idea how big he is! 😆
• He loves running around the yard and chasing his favorite ball. 🎾
• He thrives on human companionship and wants nothing more than to be near his people. 🥰
• While he can be a little excited at first, he settles down nicely and enjoys spending time with those he trusts. 🐾
• He's happiest when he's outside soaking up attention and being part of the action. ☀️❤️

🚫 Cats Need Not Apply • Andre is a hard no for cats. 🐱❌
• He has a history of chasing cats, and the facility does not believe he will ever be a safe fit for a home with feline friends.

💔 Why He's Here • Andre previously lived in a home and never expected to find himself in a shelter.
• He was surrendered after someone took him from a rehoming situation without realizing he wasn't cat-friendly.
• Shelter life has been a huge adjustment for this boy, and he'd much rather be out with people than waiting in a kennel.

🌟 The Perfect Home for Andre 🏡 A securely fenced yard where he can run and play
🐾 An adopter familiar with larger breeds
❤️ A family ready to give this lovable giant the life he deserves

Andre is ready to trade shelter life for a couch, a yard, and a family to call his own. Could that family be yours? 🥰🐾

📱 Interested in meeting Andre? Text the Shelter Manager at 757-709-8103

🐾💕 Please share and help Andre the Giant find the forever home he deserves! 💕🐾

🐾💙 A Huge Thank You to Volunteer Mary! 💙🐾

A special thank you goes out to Mary, a dedicated volunteer with Eastern Shore Animal Control, for taking on an exciting new project at Eastern Shore Animal Hospital! 🎉

When the hospital had a blank bulletin board available, they generously offered the space to help promote the animals at the shelter and support the mission of the nonprofit. Thanks to Mary's hard work and creativity, that space is now filled with valuable information for the community and opportunities to learn how they can help local pets in need. 🐶🐱

The bulletin board will be updated regularly with shelter information, adoptable pets, upcoming opportunities, and resources for the public. You'll also find information and business cards for the Brave Buddies Program, helping spread awareness about this wonderful initiative and the positive impact it has on both children and shelter animals. ❤️

Community partnerships like these help connect more people with the animals and programs that need support, and we're incredibly grateful to both Mary and Eastern Shore Animal Hospital for making it happen.

Be sure to check it out during your next visit! 🐾✨
