Happy Valentine's Day!

Would you be our valentine?

We would like to wish all of your fuzzy loved ones a happy Valentine's Day!

February is Responsible Pet Owner Month! 

Keep a watch out for local fun and specials to celebrate this month!

Remember that there are several things involved in being a responsible pet owner, including; food, shelter, water, and veterinary care.

Snowy Dog Days

  Be sure to keep your pet safe in the snow!

After taking your dog or cat outside to play, be sure to wash their paws. The salt and ice will work in between the pads and be very irritating and harmful to their skin. 

        Also be sure that your fuzzy critter stays warm!

They need a soft, dry place where they can get in out of the snow and warm up.

Water bowls also have a tendency to freeze. This can be solved by purchasing a heated water bowl or by giving them fresh water in shorter intervals, about every 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature and size of the bowl.

Rescue Group

Currently, there are few animals listed on the website. We are sorry for this inconvenience, but a rescue group came and rescued most of our dogs this morning. Hopefully, these animals will have a better chance for finding their new families.
Thank you for all of your support and please check back soon. There are always loving animals needing homes.
