Dreams really do come true, and sometimes they happen twice in one month. We are thrilled to share that sweet little Blarney has officially been adopted. This wonderful family loved their first adoption experience so much that they decided to come back and open their hearts to a second kitten this May.
There is nothing quite like watching our shelter residents find their forever homes and seeing families grow. Thank you for choosing to adopt and for giving Blarney the perfect place to grow up alongside his new sibling.

Nothing warms the heart or calms the nerves quite like a visit from a therapy dog. Jasper and Leslie stopped by CV High School’s Health Academy class and blood drive today, offering some extra comfort, steady support, and plenty of tail wags for the students stepping up to give back.
We are incredibly proud of our therapy teams for bringing smiles, reassurance, and a little extra love to our community's future healthcare leaders. Thank you to everyone at CV High School who welcomed us and supported the drive today.
