Just wanted to send in an update about Ethel. We have fallen completely in love with this sweet girl!!! She took to me right away. She was a bit leery of my Husband but a piece of cheese soon helped her trust him more. Our 3 year old LOVES her and has renamed her “Nutkin”.

Thank you for taking such good care of her until we found her! Someone truly lost a great friend when they gave “Ethel” up! -Patty Manion

The Shankwiler family stopped by Petsmart when we were there with adoptable dogs and noticed Buford (tan shepherd). They were impressed with his calm demeanor and even though they weren’t in the market for a new dog, thought he might make a good friend for their dog Bella who has some anxiety issues. Bella met…
I just wanted to post an update on two adorable kittens (Sonoma and Napa) I adopted in June. They are growing so quickly. They are now known as Morticia and Gomez. They are so much fun. A couple weeks after they came home, I was making iced coffee and accidentally dropped an ice cube on…
