Summer of Second Chances 2022
June 1st is here and so is the start of our 2022 Summer of Second Chances Fundraiser. This is one of the biggest campaigns for our shelter, and we once again have a goal of raising $50,000 by the end of August. All donations made will go towards helping us give homeless pets in the community a second chance at finding their forever family. If you would like to help these pets, donate here: https://buff.ly/3N6OM9n. Thank you for your support!
Pets for the Elderly

Have you heard about our Pets for the Elderly Program yet? No? Well, now's the time! Pets for the Elderly allows us to be able to give adoption fee discounts to adopters over the age of 60. All you have to do to participate is take a picture with the pet when you adopt. That's it! If you are interested or know somebody who is interested, head over to https://buff.ly/3gCqJR1 to learn more and to apply!
Dogs' Day Out

Heads up! Our next Dogs' Day Out is June 26 from 1-3pm. You don't want to miss out on this chance to watch our dogs interact with each other outside their kennels. It's a great way to see a dog's personality blossom and it allows our dogs some extra playtime! Make sure to come out that day (no appointments required) to hang out and maybe meet your new forever friend!
Pet Tip of the Month: Keep Your Pets Off the Asphalt!
Walking your dog is ideal exercise, reinforces training, and helps you bond with your pet, and summer is a great time for long, rambling walks. If you are walking on hot asphalt and pavement, however, your dog may be getting something you didn’t bargain for – painful burns and blisters. A quick rule-of-thumb test is to put your hand down on the surface and hold it there for 7-10 seconds. If you are unable to keep your hand on the surface that long without discomfort, then it is too hot for your dog’s paws. Fortunately, it is easy to protect your dog’s paws from hot pavement without giving up summer walks. Try to keep them on the grass, walk during the cooler times, stay in the shade if possible, and consider possible footgear for your dog if the other options aren't viable.

Lonely Hearts Club Spotlight: Black Jack
This week's Lonely Hearts Spotlight is all about Black Jack! This handsome pup has been with us for over 290 days and is still searching for his perfect match. Here's what his foster dad has to say about him, ""Black Jack is just a really sweet and easy going dog. He is a major dreamer, you'll catch him sleep-wagging and snoring often. One of my favorite things about Black Jack is his early morning goofiness. He really loves helping you get ready in the morning and hop around trying to play. He loves going outside to romp around but isn't a needy dog by any means - his early morning energy crashes quick and then it's back off to the doggie dreams. He is afraid of furniture, so no worries about him jumping on your couch. He is also very trustworthy with food and won't search around for food to snag off counters/tables. My words to describe Black Jack are cute n cuddly, shy but super friendly, just a big baby, major muscles, unapologetic farter." Sound like the pup for you? Apply online today!
