From a fluffy mop to coming out on top, our 12 week old mixed breed puppies have had an amazing makeover thanks to Katie's Divine K9s LLC! Katie donated her services to help get these two curly boys looking their best before they go up for adoption tomorrow. It is very important to help curly-coated dogs stay healthy and comfortable through regular professional grooming every 4-6 weeks and maintenance brushing in between. At their age, these puppies would do well to visit a professional groomer every other week to help them stay clean and develop a positive association with the groomer.

Do you have a curly coated dog? Share your pics of them looking their spiffiest in the comments below. Thanks Katie for your gift of grooming, we are sure these puppies, named Lowes and Tractor Supply, will be adopted as soon as they are available at 11am tomorrow! (pictured below is Tractor Supply before and after his glow-up)

Are you a fan of Baby Carrots? 🥕

No, not the conveniently sized, vitamin packed vegetable snack...Baby Carrots the adoptable cat!

Baby Carrots (whose nutritional expertise extends only as far as her obsession with the can opener's song) promises to fill your days with laughter and cat-naps. She did a wonderful job raising her kittens and now she is ready to find a home to call her own. If you're looking for a sweet, social and friendly as can be cat, ask to meet Baby Carrots today!

Are you looking for a barn cat? A ✨BARN CAT✨ to be specific. The kind of cat that makes an impression. A cat with a personality larger than his 9 lives. A cat that you will be telling stories about decades later. If yes, Manolo might just be the barn cat for you.

Manolo made it very clear that our standard accommodations at the shelter weren't going to be enough. He now has an entire catio to himself and loves lounging in the sun, pouncing on every shadow and chasing every breeze that dares enter his enclosure.

Manolo can be quite social and he knows he is a good looking cat. He likes to wait at the front of his kennel and lure you in with soft meows and adorable displays of his belly. Don't be fooled. He's just waiting to pounce on your head.

Once he is no longer entertained by his staff, Manolo likes to retreat to the top of his cat tower and judge our every movement, tail twitching. Is this quirky, full-of-life cat the barn cat for you? Manolo is ready to claim your barnyard as his own! Stop by the shelter and ask about him, we are open 11am-6pm, Monday-Sunday for adoptions.

-Cliff makes excellent biscuits and loves cuddles
-Cliff loves his wet food
-Cliff has great litterbox manners and is a perfect houseguest
-Cliff is a very friendly cat - I'm so excited for him to get adopted!

Are you ready to embark on a journey into the world of feline sophistication and charm? Meet Oliver, a cat whose refined demeanor and impeccable manners have earned him the title of "Most Distinguished Gentleman".

Oliver greets his guests with a polite meow and an elegant head bump to encourage pets. He enjoys having his gleaming fur brushed and will occasionally indulge if you offer him a crunchy snack or two. Oliver would never dare to overstay his welcome, after a delightful visit he is happy to retire to his cat tree for an afternoon nap.

Is this elegant cat the one to grace your home? Come meet Oliver today! We are open 11am-6pm for adoptions.

Max spent the long weekend hanging out in a foster home! His foster writes:

"Max was such a wonderful dog! He slept on his bed in the living room just fine without a peep! Didn’t get into a thing...He just wants to be near someone and know you are around.

Not one mess! No potty accidents! He walks toward the door when he wants to go. Loved all people and wants to go up to them to be pet. Loud noises do not bother him. Loud motorcycles? Big trucks? He just watches. He wanted to be close to the people and music during the live music at the village.

He loves ice cubes! He also had his first pup cup from Starbucks and enjoyed it! He is content with people watching for hours!"

Interested in meeting Max? Stop by during our adoption hours - we are open 11am-6pm for adoptions every day! No appointments needed!

Harriet beat the heat the other day on an early morning adventure with one of our volunteers! She headed to a local park to enjoy the trails and we learned that this silly pup loves to roll in the crunchy leaves! After a nice walk and a quick stop for a pup-cup at a nearby coffee shop, Harriet snoozed for the entire car ride back to the shelter!

Harriet is always making us laugh with her exuberant zoomies and non-stop tail wags. Is this burst of joy the dog for you? Stop by and see her! We are closed today, Monday, September 4th for the Labor Day Holiday, but will be open Tuesday - Sunday, 11am-6pm, this week for adoptions.

This kitty acts lost but looks too well cared for to be a stray. It’s been in my yard all day but now that it is dark and cold it cries to come inside. Just set her up in my garage with a can of tuna and blankets but we can’t let in house due to severe allergies. Needs to find owner ASAP. Catoctin Chase neighborhood in SW Leesburg.
Adopted my cat during the summer her name was Kitty, now her name is Roxy. She has a best friend and doing great. Thanks for all you do.
Louie (Buddy) is the light of my life. Thank you so much for taking good care of him in the shelter before we got to adopt him.
We celebrate our first of many gotcha days with Nestle (fka: Garfield). Our family would not be same without him
We have been trying to find a way to adopt a dog for a very long time; help.
Settling in nicely! Thank you!!
UPDATE: Miss Cheesus has been FOUND alive. A true Christmas Miracle!

Prayers are still needed as she is being taken to the ER, but we are optimistic that she will be ok.

Thank you all for sharing!

Miss Cheesus. 2 years old missing since 4pm 12/21/2020. She was spotted about an hour ago but took off again down the mountain. Last seen on Blue Ridge Mountain Road on Mt Weather. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you LCAS and Officer Powell for rescuing and caring for our “escapees.” We are grateful to Officer Powell for picking them up and all of you for caring for them during their self-imposed field trip. Needless to say they are worn out!
Hello my name is anna i'm currently miss Abilities Ambassador 2020 I was seeing if you guys were accepting blankets for cat's and dog's
The guys at my work were the ones who caught this guy and if the owner doesn’t reclaim him, please please let me know. One of our technicians would love to have him. Thank you!
