🌟A notice from one of the administrators of this page🌟

🌟Every day, I find myself sharing heartwarming images of these sweet dogs, all longing for a place to call home. It's a challenge to find the right words that will catch your eye and inspire you to take action. The truth is, the weight of overcrowded shelters sits heavy on my heart. 💔
If adopting isn't possible for you right now, would you consider giving them a brief escape, just for a day or even a night? Imagine the JOY you could bring into their lives by taking them out of the shelter environment, showering them with love, treating them to a delicious pup cup, or enjoying a tranquil walk in the park. Picture a day where they can relax in your home, feeling the soft touch of a gentle hand and the peace of a quiet space. Just one day—that's all we're asking. One day away from the daily confines of a shelter where they spend their every moment.
We all recognize the importance of a mental health day, and these dogs truly deserve a break from the constant noise and stress surrounding them. Can you find it in your heart to spare a day of your time to brighten their world and show them that there are humans out there who care?🙏♥️

Free concerts at our local libraries in September and October! All concerts begin at 6 PM.
