🐾 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 🐾

It was a tight squeeze and a tough job, but our incredible Animal Services Officers never back down from a challenge! 💪✨

When we got the call about a mama dog and her newborn puppies trapped deep underneath a house, our team jumped straight into action. Slide through the photos to see the team in action, getting down in the dirt, navigating the crawlspaces, and safely retrieving every single precious pup.

After a lot of patience, skill, and gentle coaxing, our officers successfully and safely captured Mom, too! ❤️

Mom and her babies are doing absolutely amazing, getting all the love and rest they deserve.

We are so incredibly proud of our dedicated division. Day in and day out, these officers go above and beyond to protect the voiceless in our community. Please join us in thanking them for their hard work and big hearts in the comments below! 👇👇

👅 TONGUE OUT TUESDAY: ARWEN EDITION 👅

Exhibit A: Arwen.

She really said: 👁️👅👁️

Our girl Arwen is a whole mood today. She’s a female Husky mix who is officially fully vetted (no medical drama here, we love a responsible queen) and actively looking for her forever home.

Here is the 411 on Arwen:

The Aesthetics: 10/10. Gorgeous, stunning, no crumbs left.

Social Battery: Highly compatible. She is officially dog-friendly and ready to make besties.

Energy Level: She’s a mid-level energy girly pop. She’s down for a little hot girl walk, but she’s equally down to rot on the couch and binge-watch TikToks with you. Balance is key.

If you’re looking for a loyal, beautiful companion who matches your vibe perfectly, Arwen is it. Don't let her ghost you—come meet her!

Interested in Arwen? DM us for info or pull up to the shelter to meet her in person. Let’s get this girl her forever family! 🫶✨

Hayden has found her perfect match! 💙✨
