Rolling right along as we are placing 7 furbabies with their furever families in 5 days! Yepper, we are kicking it. Today, two more furkids continued their journey to their furever home and were welcomed by their furever families. Ruth, recently released from breeding, settled right in with her family and enjoyed all the comforts

Our second adoption of the day took us just a few miles down the road, across a couple of interchanges and bridges and right into the heart of a quiet, quaint neighborhood. This is Casper’s new turf. Casper, an unusual cream colored Pug made his way into the hearts and home of his furever family,
