❤️ Help Sully Get Back on His Feet!

Meet Sully, our big ole gentle giant who could really use a little extra help right now!

Sully came to us after Animal Control was unable to take him in due to an injury. He needs patella surgery, and the estimated cost of his procedure is $1,000. We’re hoping to raise the funds needed to get him the medical care he deserves and help him get back to feeling his best.

But surgery isn’t the only thing Sully needs. We’d absolutely love to find him a foster home!

Sully is a very sweet boy who loves people and gets along with other dogs. We’re not sure how he does with cats just yet. One thing we do know is that loud noises are especially frightening for him. Gunshots are unfortunately common in the area around our shelter, and Sully is absolutely terrified of them. A quiet, loving foster home would give him a much-needed break from the noise and stress.

We’re looking for donations toward his $1,000 surgery and, hopefully, someone willing to open their home to this big sweetheart while he recovers.

Can you help Sully get the second chance he deserves? Whether you donate, foster, or share his story, it all makes a difference. ❤️

Interested in fostering Sully? Send us a message or visit our website to learn more!

BARN HOME NEEDED! 🐭

Vecna has been in foster care since July 18th, and while we were hopeful that some time in a home environment might help her warm up to the idea of humans, she has made it clear that people just aren’t her thing. ❤️

Vecna came to us as part of the hoarding case, and despite everyone’s patience and efforts, she’s still not a fan of human interaction. And that’s okay! Not every cat is going to be a lap cat or want to be someone’s best friend.

Our hope now is to find Vecna a barn home where she can live comfortably, have the independence she prefers, and enjoy life on her own terms. We’d love to get her directly into a barn home rather than have her return to the shelter, where the stress of that environment could be difficult for her.

Do you have a safe barn or property where Vecna could call home? Or know someone who might? Please reach out! Let’s help this girl find a place where she can be happy, even if happiness doesn’t include people. 🐾
