Darcy's Heart

Just look at that sweet senior face 🥹

"I'm changing my name to ."🥤 Folks will stand in line and fist fight over a starbies cup, but won't give me a second look and I'm WAY cuter. Why?!

If I use the right , will that work? If I change my name? We already reduced my adoption fee to just $21. I've been available for adoption about a YEAR AND A HALF...

And still, nobody wants me. 🥺

What do I have to do??

I'm a 13 year old husky mix, am 100% deaf, and have been treated for heartworms.

But I PROMISE I'm worthy of a loving family!

I really enjoy my outside time, and would even like being an indoor/outdoor dog. Just make sure the fencing is secure, because .... Did I mention Imma husky mix? 😂😜

Seriously. I don't know how else to find a home. I've been on television. I've been on radio. I've been so social media and websites. I've been to adoption events... Even two Christmases in a row.

WHAT MORE CAN I DO?! 😭

I guess... Just . Maybe that will work...

😮‍💨

‼️🚨 Potato ‼️🚨 You have likely seen Potato’s little face on our social media before because we have tried and tried to get him and his sister Polly adopted with no luck. Long term residences happen in rescues often and it’s heartbreaking. He has been raised at RTA coming in as a puppy in 2022. Recently Potato started to lose weight but test and bloodwork have determined he is healthy 🙌🏻 the weight loss is due to stress! 🥺 PLEASE help us find Potato a home! His adoption could just start as a Foster agreement so there isn’t any pressure. If you are willing to give him a chance it would be life changing for this sweet boy. He has never lived in a home before so patience on a routine would be needed. We have never had a problem with him not getting along with other dogs. He’s been mostly with his sister. Has not been around cats. He is roughly a year and a half old. Boxer Mix. Fixed Male. Current on all Vaccinations.
🚨🚨 Please Share 🚨🚨 There has to be a home out there for this sweet boy!

Sometimes Bandit is just plain weird. 😂❤️

Please, please foster if at all possible. You will literally be saving a life. If we didn’t have six dogs we wouldn’t hesitate to be a foster. 🐶❤️

Never give a pet as a gift unless you are willing to be responsible for that animal for its entire life, no matter what.

They're some"one", not some"thing"!

Sponsor a Spay! What a great way to help out the overpopulation of animals in town and to keep unwanted litters off the streets and out of the shelter.

This holiday season, we are thrilled to introduce our "Sponsor a Spay" initiative to make a purr-poseful difference in the lives of our community cats.

Your generous donations will directly contribute to our community cat program, specifically supporting spay/neuter appointments for our beloved feline friends in Abilene.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the kindness of our community to sustain our mission, and your support means the world to us. The Community Cat Program is entirely free to the public, ensuring that caring for our stray kitties remains accessible to all.

To express our gratitude, each donor will receive a special Community Cat Program sticker and a festive ornament featuring a picture of one of the cats you've helped save.

Let's join paws and hearts to give the gift of a brighter future for our community cats. Your generosity makes a significant impact, and we are endlessly thankful for your support.

🎉 Exciting News! 🐾 Patton and Reagan, our dynamic Papillon duo, have officially found their forever homes! 🏡💕

After coming from a challenging situation, these resilient 12-year-olds captured the hearts of their new families with their love and charm. 🌟 It's a beautiful tale of second chances and the power of adoption.

Patton, with his heartwarming spirit despite a discovered heart murmur, and Reagan, with her undeniable sweetness, have now stepped into a world filled with love, warmth, and the promise of a joyful future. 🐕❤️🐕

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who shared their story, offered support, and helped make this happy ending possible. 🙌 Your kindness and compassion continue to make a difference in the lives of our furry friends.

Wishing Patton and Reagan endless tail wags, belly rubs, and a lifetime of love in their new homes! 🐾🏡✨ 🐾🎊

Our couch cover is in shreds, which is fine as it was super cheap and Sherry didn’t like the color anyway. But Bandit has made it his emotional support shredded couch cover. Every time he gets up there, he roots around until he’s wrapped up in it and then promptly falls asleep. I would love to know what goes on in that boy’s brain. 😂🐾❤️
