Could you consider taking in one of these sweet pets? No fees today or tomorrow. Remember - an animal is a commitment for its whole life. Please only adopt if you can take care of the animal for its life.

Please repost and share to as many folks as you can. Each person who sees this can post to their friends and so on so that no one has to spend a cold night.

We’re all feeling it today—this cold is brutal. For our neighbors without a home, it’s even more dangerous.

This week, we’ve not only sheltered neighbors overnight but also opened daytime warming spaces to ensure their safety and warmth during these freezing temperatures. The need has been overwhelming, and we cannot do this without the support of our community.

Your generosity makes it possible to create space, provide warmth, and offer hope. Please consider donating to our emergency shelter fund today. Together, we can ensure no one is left out in the cold.

Thank you for standing with us and helping to keep our neighbors safe this winter.
