๐Ÿ˜ New week. New beginnings. Phoenix (aka Calisto) scored ๐Ÿ’ฏ % on his New Family Member report card. ๐Ÿ˜‰ And speaking of family, Phoenix found the very best. Way to go, sweet boy! You're home.

"We have not had to use a crate for him at all. He loves our cats and has not made one accident. He also does not chew. And the leash grabbing thing that he did at the shelter he does not do anymore. He is the best dog."

You've got this, Phoenix!
Make it amazing. ๐Ÿ ๐ŸŒณ

๐Ÿ“ท ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Ready for a photo reunion? Let's do it...When a pet arrives at Stray Haven, they become part of our Stray Haven family. Long after they've been adopted, we still think of each one and how thankful we are that you chose to give them a forever home.

๐Ÿ—ฃ In the comment section below, please share a photo and an update on your rescue pet. We miss those furry faces and would love to see pictures of them enjoying their new places! ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿค” We usually share photos of our shelter pets, hoping someone will see them and adopt them. Today, weโ€™re doing things a little differently. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Dot's been waiting 253 days for a home. So today, we have a questionโ€ฆ whatโ€™s keeping you from adopting Dotโ“

Dot's a 6-year-old grey-and-white tuxedo girl whoโ€™s ready to find her forever person. She may take some time to warm up, but once she feels comfortable, you'll definitely know it. She enjoys giving head bumps, getting kisses on the top of her head, and playing...all in her own time. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Dot would be happiest in a quiet home where she doesnโ€™t have to share her space with other pets. A home without young children would be best, too. Give her a little patience and a safe place to settle in, and she's all set. ๐Ÿ˜

We'd love to see Dot find her forever person. If you think she might be the girl for you, stop by Stray Haven to meet her. And if you can't adopt, please share the post. There's someone for everyone, and we want to find Dot's someone. Thank you! ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿงก When a shelter pet arrives at Stray Haven, we make sure they have everything they need. We make sure they're spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and so much more.

We make sure each one has food, a warm, comfortable place to sleep, toys, treats, and most of all, love they might not have known before. ๐“๐ก๐š๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ซ๐š๐ข๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ. ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ’› ๐Ÿ• Eight pups waiting for homes. Each one has their own personality. Some are a bit shy. Others are definitely NOT shy. ๐Ÿ˜„ Some are big; some of them just think they're big. ๐Ÿ˜„ Just like people, theyโ€™re all different and special in their own way. What they have in common is that they're all good dogs, really good dogs. And they all need homes.

๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ‘ฃ The public is always welcome to come and meet our pets. Maybe youโ€™d like to take one out for a walk, spend time with them in our play yard, or maybe youโ€™re thinking about adding a four-legged family member to your life. Whatever brings you in, weโ€™d love to see you. And so would our pets.

๐Ÿ‘‰ โ„น For more information about each of these pups, please check the comments on the original post. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! You can tag us in the comments below or message us through the Stray Haven page.

๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ And please share these faces. You never know who might see the one who was meant to be theirs. Letโ€™s help these pups find the people and places theyโ€™ve been waiting for. Thank you!

โค๏ธ Weโ€™d love to see these three get their chance. Meet Brisket, Dot, and Labubu. Theyโ€™re on our long-term resident list, and while they each have their own unique personalities, they have one thing in commonโ€ฆ theyโ€™re still waiting for their people to find them.

Sometimes the cats who have been here the longest just need the right person to meet them. So today, weโ€™re putting their sweet faces in front of you. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฑ

Please share the post. You never know who might see one of these photos, fall a little in love, and say, โ€œHeyโ€ฆ maybe thatโ€™s my cat."

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿก Letโ€™s help Brisket, Dot, and Labubu get a little closer to home.

โค๏ธ ๐Ÿš— Red has left the building! After 832 days at Stray Haven, today was Redโ€™s day; this boy has been adopted! Yes, adopted!

So many of you followed Redโ€™s story, watched him wait, cheered him on, shared his posts, and hoped right along with us that someone would see what weโ€™ve always seen in this good boy.

Today, someone did. ๐Ÿฅณ

Red's a great dog. He loves people of all agesโ€ฆyoung, old, and everyone in between. The only challenge was finding a home where he could be the only pet; Red's not a fan of cats or other dogs. Today was the day he found the home he needed.

๐Ÿก To Redโ€™s new family, thank you for seeing the treasure that he is and giving him the chance weโ€™ve all been waiting for.

And to our volunteers who never let Red feel forgottenโ€ฆ thank you. For the walks, the day trips, the special toys and treats, and all those little visits that made his 832 days a whole lot better.

๐Ÿ• Thank you to the donors who covered Red's adoption fee and provided several months' worth of food for him to take with him to his new home.

To our staff who cared for him, loved him like their own, and prepared him for this big day, thank you!

And to all of you who followed Redโ€™s story, shared his posts, asked about him, rooted for him, and never stopped hopingโ€ฆTHANK YOU. โค๏ธ

Today is one of those days that reminds us why we keep going.

Welcome home, Red.
Make it amazing. ๐Ÿซถ
