Brittny’s dog, Kota, passed away almost a month ago and she’s been pretty upset about it. Her house has been far too quiet when she comes home from work. So she wandered up here and found a critter that will change that. Thank you to the Young’s for adopting the last puppy from the litter 🎉 Facebook meet Brock. Brock meet Facebook.

🚨 TRADING POST TUESDAY 🚨

Please read entire post!

We’ve been receiving a LOT of calls and messages about people needing to surrender their pets. Last week we had 14 different people reach out in one day asking us to take their animals. We really aren’t set up for that. Two days after that specific day, we picked up 6 dogs… in one day. Thankfully we found their people so they left quickly but imagine if they didn’t get reunited so fast….we would be overflowing and then some.

We do understand that things come up, though. So instead of just saying no, we’re trying something new!!

🐾 Trading Post Tuesday 🐾

Every Tuesday, you can post in the comments if you’re trying to rehome a pet.

If you’re posting, please include:

🐾 Name
🐾 Breed
🐾 Age
🐾 Location
🐾 If vaccines are UTD
🐾 Spayed/Neutered
🐾 Good with kids/other pets?
🐾 Housebroken?
🐾 Potty trained/uses litter box?
🐾 Crate trained?
🐾 Any behavior/medical information you know of
🐾 How to contact you

If these things are not listed your comment will be removed.

This is not just for cats and dogs! You can post birds, livestock, etc. Please just keep it within Clay County.

This is just a space for people to connect. We are NOT involved in the rehoming process, we do not screen the adopters, and we are not responsible for anything that happens. Please use your best judgement.

Our goal here is to help keep animals out of the shelter and get them into homes faster. It’s not that we don’t want to help! We have to keep space open for emergencies and stray animals we pick up.

Thanks for understanding and working with us! We hope this helps!

This gentle GIANT was found at a house just south of Wendelin on the Richland/Clay Co line. The first thing that comes to mind is “Whose horse is that?” 😂
He’s the biggest GP I think we’ve ever seen here.

Rudy the Collie!

We are estimating him to be around 2 years old. He can be a little rude when it comes to going back inside of his kennel (hence the name) and doesn’t want to go back in it but will if you offer him a can of wet food. He doesn’t make a mess in his kennel so we’re almost positive he is potty trained. He will whine at the door until you let him out. He gets along with the other dogs, we don’t know how he does with cats.

If you’re interested in him please message us on here so you can come see him. He will be ready to go on Monday
