✨ Hi, I’m Perdita! ✨
I’m a 2-year-old Coonhound/Terrier mix weighing 49 pounds, and I’m looking for a family to call my own.
If you’re looking for a walking buddy, I might be your girl! I love getting out and exploring, and I’ve been told I walk nicely on leash. I also ride well in the car, so I’d be happy to join you on errands, road trips, or any adventure in between.
One of my favorite things is spending time with people. I love making new friends and soaking up all the attention and affection I can get. I also happen to be a big fan of pup cups, so if your adventures include a drive-thru stop, I definitely won’t complain!
I’m a sweet girl with a lot of love to give, and I’m ready to share it with a family of my own.
I’ve got my bags packed—all I need now is a ride home. ❤️🐾

🎉 We heard it's Prime Day! 🎉

While you're stocking up on deals for yourself, why not pick up something for the animals, too? 🐾

Our dogs and cats rely on donated supplies every day, and Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to help us stock up on some of our most-needed items. From treats and toys to cleaning supplies and enrichment items, every donation makes a difference.

🐾 We’re in the home stretch of the Miles for Paws June Walking Challenge, and our participants are doing amazing! 🎉

Together, you’ve already logged nearly 300 miles and raised almost $1,000 for the homeless pets of Lighthouse Animal Shelter! 💙

The big question is… Can we make it to $2,000 before June ends? 🐕🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Cedar & Saffron think so!

Every dollar raised helps provide food, medical care, and a safe place for animals waiting for their forever homes.

🎁 Don’t forget: Every participant who raises $100 or more will be entered to win a prize! There’s still time to share your fundraising page, ask friends and family to support your efforts, and help us reach our goal.

🫶Thank you to everyone who has been walking, fundraising, donating, and cheering on our teams. Let’s finish strong and make these final days count!

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Lighthouse 🐾💙
Today we’re celebrating all the dads out there—the ones who guide, protect, teach, and show up with love every day. From everyone here at the shelter, including our dogs and cats who know a thing or two about unconditional love, we’re sending you a big thank you and lots of appreciation.
Whether you’re a dad, stepdad, grandfather, foster dad, or a father figure in someone’s life—you make a difference.
Wishing you a day filled with love, tail wags, purrs, and maybe a little well-deserved rest. 🐶🐱💙

Fun Friday! 🎉
We asked Lou and Blondie to share a fun fact about themselves.
Instead, they chose to discuss blue whales.🐳
At length.
With great enthusiasm.
And frankly, we’re still not sure we learned anything about either dog. 😂
If you’d like to learn actual facts about Lou, our 4-year-old Redbone Coonhound, or Blondie, our 3-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix, you can find their bios on LighthouseAnimalShelter.org
We promise they have interests beyond marine biology-including treats, toys, walks, belly rubs, and finding families of their own. ❤️🐾

🧺☀️ Happy National Picnic Day!
National Picnic Day is all about enjoying the sunshine, good company, and maybe a few snacks—and Lani and Paprika understood the assignment. 🐶🥪
National Picnic Day checklist:
🧺 Cute blanket
🥪 Snacks
🐶 Lani
🐶 Paprika
Perfect. 💛
We’re still getting to know these two sweet 2-year-olds, but one thing is already clear: they’re winning over volunteers left and right. Their full bios are coming soon, but for now they’re busy enjoying the picnic life and reminding us that everything is better with dogs.
Whether you’re having a picnic in the park, in your backyard, or just eating lunch outside, we hope your day is as sweet as Lani and Paprika. 🐾✨

🐞❤️ How Is Ladybird Still Waiting? ❤️🐞
Ladybird is a 1-year-old, 45-pound Foxhound mix with so much to love. She enjoys walks, loves playing with other dogs, and gets along well with dogs, kids, and cats!
This sweet girl would thrive with an active family. A fenced yard where she can stretch her legs, zoom around, and play would be a dream come true. And if there’s a canine sibling in the mix? Even better!
Ladybird can be a little shy when meeting new people, preferring to say hello on her own terms. But once she warms up, her playful, affectionate personality shines through. 🥰
🐶 Dog friendly
🐱 Cat friendly
👧 Kid friendly
🚶 Loves walks
🏡 Would love a fenced yard
🐾 Would enjoy a canine buddy
Ladybird has been waiting far too long for someone to see just how special she is. Could that someone be you? ❤️
