A few weeks ago, we posted all of these adorable cats and unfortunately, they are all still here with no adoption interest. 🥲

Butters, Knox and Saber are all friendly and looking for indoor homes! We are hoping that after this post, these cats will each find a home of their own!

Upon adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped!

If you’re interested in meeting one of these cuties, come by our shelter and do a meet and greet to see which would best fit your family!

Please share.

We would like to thank the Kiwanis Club of East St. Mary for having our director and the director of Deep South Dog Advocacy Group as guest speakers today!

We need some help with supplies!

We are running critically low on quite a few items, most importantly dewormer and more beds for our dogs to have a comfortable place to rest.

We would really appreciate anything! Our goal is to help make our shelter dogs and cats as comfortable as possible, we hope that we can receive some support to do so. 🙂❤️

11 DOGS. 11 PERSONALITIES. ONE URGENT NEED.

These 11 dogs have been waiting at the shelter for too long. 🥲

Their stay has been extended due to circumstances outside of the shelter’s control, and they’ve now spent far too long waiting for their chance to be able to move forward.

They are now considered urgent.

Not because they aren’t good dogs or don’t deserve homes, it’s simply because they’ve been here for too long. We are full.

These 11 need help the most.

We know 11 dogs is a lot, but we’re hoping 11 people or families will see one and fall in love.

Please don’t overlook them because of how long they’ve been waiting, let that be the reason you look closer.

If you can help, please contact the shelter directly. If you can’t adopt, SHARE THIS POST. You never know who might be looking for their next best friend.

Their adoption fees have been reduced. That still includes spay/neuter, vaccines and a microchip!

11 dogs. 11 chances. Let’s make something happen. 🐾❤️

Attention: Chihuahua Lovers!

Bea, Janis & Rita are three adorable chihuahua mixes that have landed at the shelter at no fault of their own!

All three girls are each looking for a home to call their own, a companion.

Upon adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

If you love chihuahuas and are ready to adopt, one of these ladies may be the right fit for your home! We welcome all potential adopters to come to the shelter and do a meet and greet prior to adoption.
