People were wondering how Legend had settled into his new home 🏠 . .. as you can see he is quite relaxed with his new family! Legend had been waiting since 2023 for a permanent home of his own-we are so happy that he now has the home he deserves!

We knew Jagger would be a rock star 🎸 at his new home, and he didn't disappoint us!

From his new family, here is an update on Jagger:
Jagger is now Huey and he has been adjusting extremely well. He has learned a whole lot of new tricks and mannerisms in just a few days. We couldn't thank Richie more for the time he took with him, as he had so much knowledge already upon coming home!! He has made it easier for us to teach him new things as well. We will reach out to Richie and tell him as well!!

Henney stole everyone's heart here at the shelter ❤ We miss seeing him around the shelter but he as been thriving for the past 3 months in foster care!

We are so grateful to his foster family for giving him a chance outside the shelter.

Here is an update on how he is doing :

Hello, we've been fostering Henney for the last 3 months.

Here is an evaluation of Henney:
Henney is a very smart and sweet senior dog who understands everything and loves companionship. He is generally very quiet and does not bark much. He follows you around like a shadow and doesn't like being left alone. He is a total couch potato, tires easily, and is not a candidate for long walks. He also cannot go up or down stairs, so he needs a home with an elevator or a ground-floor layout.

Henney requires strict management for his health and behavior:
• He has no patience for small children. He needs a quiet home with no young children.
• Good with cats: He does very well with cats and is highly patient around them (he currently lives comfortably with a resident cat).
• Medical care: He needs daily thyroid medication.
• Special diet: He requires a strict, specialized diet. Any deviation from his food causes immediate digestive issues.

We love Henney and have no problem continuing to foster and care for him for as long as you need. We know he is senior, approaching the end of his life, and does not have much time left. We have no problem looking after him as a foster for the remainder of his life or until you find him a perfect place.

This update on Nora is so precious that we just had to share! 🐈❤

From Nora's family:
I wanted to send in a few photos and a video update of my adopted kitten !

This our newest family member, Nora (37466)! We cannot believe how amazing she is and how quickly she has grown comfortable in our home! We have Nayah, a 6yo American Bully, and now baby Nora. Nora has quickly shown us exactly how not-shy she is! She follows us everywhere and comes to find us when we call her. We are absolutely in love with her! "
