Your donations for our medical fund are going to pups like this sweet baby.
This girl was dumped in Horseshoe Bend with a bag of food and a bottle of water (with the cap on 🤦🏼♀️) she had a massive mammary tumor that was rupturing open. The tumor was removed today and she is on the mend. Recovery for an older dog is tough in the shelter. If you can foster please contact the shelter!

Ori is the 2 year old male cat version of a “Karen” He wants to be loved but not picked up…wants you to know he’s in the room but doesn’t want you to acknowledge him! He’s a fan of small dogs (lived with a Yorkie) in previous home but is very uppity towards other cats. We love Ori here but he needs to be in a home! He is litter boxed train and neutered already. Some please give him a good home! 😉

Toby (left) and Tig (right) just came in as owner surrenders
Toby is a 1 year old chihuahua that is good with dogs, kids and is housebroken. Adoption fee is $150
Tig is a 6 year old Maltese/chihuahua mix. Good with dogs, kids and is house broken.
They both have food aggression so will need to be feed separately from other animals and cautious with kids while eating.
