If you give a shelter dog a home… ❤️

If you give a shelter dog a home,
they’ll probably need a little time to settle in.

Then they’ll find their favorite spot on your couch…
and maybe your bed too. 🐶

They’ll learn the sound of your voice,
the routine of your mornings,
and the way you reach down to pet them when you walk by.

Before long, they’ll be waiting at the door for you,
following you from room to room,
and looking at you like you hung the moon.

If you give a shelter dog a home,
they’ll give you their trust.

Then their love.

Then their whole heart.

And somewhere along the way,
without even realizing it,
they’ll become part of your family.

A shelter dog may come to you looking for a home…
but what they’re really hoping for is a person to love forever. 🏡❤️

Come meet your new best friend at Lauderdale County Animal Control.
A simple share could help one of our dogs find the home they’ve been waiting for. 🐾

🌿💙 MEET ROWAN — THE ONLY BOY IN THE FLOWER PATCH! 💙🌿

Every flower garden needs a little variety, right? 😂🌸

When we had a whole group of little girls to name, we decided to stick with our flower theme. But then there was Rowan… the ONLY boy in a garden full of girls! 🌷🤣

So we named him after the Rowan tree, and we think it fits our sweet little gentleman perfectly! 🌿💙

🐾 THE ROWAN FILES 🐾

💙 Gender: Male
🎂 Age: Approximately 1 year old
⚖️ Weight: 11 pounds
🐶 Breed: Possibly Shih Tzu/Terrier mix
📏 Size: Fully grown! He may fill out a little, but won’t get any taller.
❤️ Heartworm: NEGATIVE!
💉 Vaccinations: Received his 5-in-1 shot
🪱 Deworming: Completed 5 consecutive days
🏡 Status: AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ADOPTION!

🌿💕 LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR LITTLE GENTLEMAN!

Unlike some of his outgoing sisters, Rowan prefers to take life at his own pace! 🥹💙

He’s a sweet little boy, but the busy shelter environment just isn’t his cup of tea. He needs a little patience, reassurance, and someone willing to let him come out of his shell on his own time.

We believe that in a quieter home with the right family, Rowan could truly blossom! 🌸💕

And let’s be clear about one thing…

This little man is already a spoiled baby, and we fully expect his future family to continue that tradition! 🤣💙

🌸🐾 LET’S TALK PRE-ADOPTION!

Rowan is available for PRE-ADOPTION! This means you can come meet him and fill out the paperwork to reserve him!

Before heading home, he’ll need:

✂️ Neuter surgery
💉 Rabies vaccination
🐾 First 30 days of flea/tick prevention

💰 ADOPTION FEE: $125

💕 His required adoption vetting is INCLUDED in the $125 adoption fee!

And the best part? You don’t pay until pickup day! 🙌

🌿🏡 WHO’S READY TO HELP ROWAN BLOOM? 🏡🌿

Rowan doesn’t need a perfect family. He just needs a patient one. 🥹💙

📍 Lauderdale County Animal Control
📞 731-836-7387

🌸💙 PLEASE SHARE OUR SWEET ROWAN! 💙🌸

Every garden needs a little Rowan, and this sweet boy is ready to put down roots in his forever home! 🌿🐶💕

🌸💕 NOT EVERY FLOWER BLOOMS AT THE SAME TIME… AND THAT’S PERFECTLY OKAY! 💕🌸

Some flowers love the sunshine, some love the spotlight, and some just need a little extra love before they’re ready to bloom! 🥹🌷

✨🌸 INTRODUCING MISS PETUNIA! 🌸✨

Now, if you’ve been following our little flower garden, you’ve already met some of Petunia’s sisters! And while some of those girls are ready to steal the spotlight and put on a whole show, Miss Petunia is perfectly happy letting her sisters take center stage! 😂💕

And honestly? We love a little lady who prefers the quieter side of life! 🌷💗

Petunia is our sweet, gentle little flower who just needs a little extra time to show the world how wonderful she really is. ❤️

🌷 THE PETUNIA FILES 🌷

🎀 Gender: Female
🎂 Age: Approximately 1 year old
📏 Size: Fully grown! She may fill out a little more, but she isn’t expected to get any taller.
❤️ Heartworm: NEGATIVE!
💉 Vaccinations: Received her 5-in-1 shot
🪱 Deworming: Completed 5 consecutive days
🏡 Status: AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ADOPTION! 💕

🌸 NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR SWEET LITTLE WALLFLOWER! 🌸

Petunia is the complete opposite of some of her outgoing sisters, and that’s what makes her special! 💗

She’s a little more reserved and prefers to take her time getting comfortable with new people and surroundings.

But don’t mistake her quiet personality for a lack of love!

This little girl LOVES to be held, LOVES affection, and absolutely melts when you give her some reassurance and gentle attention. 🥹💕

The busy shelter environment just isn’t her favorite place, and honestly, we believe she would do so much better in a quieter home where she can relax and learn that she’s finally right where she belongs. 🏡❤️

Petunia doesn’t need somebody to rush her.

She needs somebody who understands that trust takes time, patience goes a long way, and sometimes the sweetest little flowers just need a little extra sunshine. ☀️🌷

She’s not asking for the world. Just someone willing to give her a little time, a safe place to land, and plenty of love along the way. 💕

🌸🐾 LET’S TALK PRE-ADOPTION! 🐾🌸

Petunia is officially available for PRE-ADOPTION! 🎉

That means you can come meet this sweet little lady and fill out the paperwork to reserve her for your family!

Before heading to her forever home, she will need:

✂️ Spay surgery
💉 Rabies vaccination
🐾 First 30 days of flea and tick prevention

💰🌸 ADOPTION FEE: $125 🌸💰

💕 Her required adoption vetting is INCLUDED in her $125 adoption fee!

And you don’t pay until pickup day! 🙌

🌷🏡 WHO’S READY TO HELP PETUNIA BLOOM? 🏡🌷

She may not be the loudest flower in our garden, but that doesn’t mean she has any less love to give. ❤️

Sometimes the most beautiful things in life are worth waiting for, and we believe Petunia is one of them. 🥹💕

Not every flower blooms at the same time. Some just need a little more love, a little more patience, and someone who believes they’re worth the wait. 🌷🐶❤️

🌸💖 WELL, WELL, WELL… LOOKS LIKE OUR LITTLE FLOWER GARDEN HAS ANOTHER BLOOMING BEAUTY! 💖🌸

And apparently, being ridiculously adorable runs in the family! 😂💕

✨🌷 INTRODUCING MISS ZINNIA! 🌷✨

If you’ve already met her sister Magnolia, then you know this little flower patch is FULL of personality! 🌸🤣

But every flower blooms a little differently, and Miss Zinnia has her own special kind of sunshine to share! ☀️💗

Zinnia is one of those little dogs who can brighten your entire day without even trying! She’s outgoing, playful, affectionate, and an absolute ball of joy!

She’s got the sweetness of a flower, the personality of a social butterfly, and 13 pounds of PURE LOVE to give! 🦋🌸💕

💕 LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS LITTLE LADY!

If Magnolia is the main character, Zinnia is the sweetheart everybody falls in love with by the end of the movie! 🎬🤣

She’s loving, outgoing, playful, and just an all-around WONDERFUL little girl!

She’s always ready for some attention, a little playtime, or somebody willing to love on her!

And let’s be serious… with a face that cute, we don’t think she’ll have much trouble finding somebody willing to spoil her! 😂💗

🌸🐾 LET’S TALK PRE-ADOPTION! 🐾🌸

Zinnia is officially available for PRE-ADOPTION! 🎉

What does that mean? 🤔

✂️ Spay surgery
💉 Rabies vaccination
🐾 Her first 30 days of flea and tick prevention

🌸💗 STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS… BECAUSE THIS LITTLE MAGNOLIA IS BLOOMING WITH PERSONALITY! 💗🌸

And somebody better tell this little lady she’s a dog and not the main character in a Southern soap opera! 💅🤣

✨🌸 INTRODUCING MISS MAGNOLIA! 🌸✨

She may be named after a delicate Southern flower, but DON’T let that fool you! This little girl has enough personality to run the entire flower garden, and we’re pretty sure she’d appoint herself QUEEN! 👑🌸😂

Magnolia is believed to be a Shih Tzu/Terrier mix, but we can’t say for certain! Whatever her breed may be, we’re pretty sure somebody mixed a little sunshine, a whole lot of personality, and 13 pounds of PURE HAPPINESS together! ☀️💕

🌸 THE MAGNOLIA FILES 🌸
