Dusty came our way recently when his owner passed away and had no back up plan for his pets. At age12 and with severe hair loss due to flea infestation we were prepared to have Dusty with us good long while. Happily, fate intervened. This fantastic family saw Dusty at our mobile adoption event Saturday and couldn’t get him off their minds so showed up the next day too and brought the whole family, including dog Suzy, so everyone could welcome Dusty to his new home! His new mom got teary eyed several times as arrangements were made for Dusty to become theirs. <3 Dusty is already doing great in their home and settling into his new life. Mom is making him chicken and rice to mix in his food and dad already took him on a road trip (he sat in dad’s lap for 4 hours!) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADOPTING DUSTY! We’re so grateful you saw him and are giving him a great life in his golden years.

She’s very animated when chasing her favorite toy (a good old-fashioned string) and is very vocal when she’s ready to play. She’s funny in that she follows me around…

Brulee came into our program with his mama, Creme. He has gone from being babied by Creme to being babied by his new human family. Best wishes to the little guy! Thank you for adopting.
Published by Leanne Thomassen · June 14, 2016 · Creme captured my heart the first day I met her. I came to the shelter to photograph her and her puppy, Brulee. They were in the same cage. I took Brulee out first and went outside with him for his photo session. In the meantime, the…
