I wasn’t feeling well so mommy took me to the vet. I feel much better now but I found out my siblings are gone, so I am so very alone.

I loved it when she picked me up and talked to me so very sweet and cuddled me up real tight in her arms. I need a home please.

The shelter is busting at the seams and help is desperately needed! All adoption fees are only $55! Please come down and visit me today! [Read more…]

Wooly and Chase here…Aren’t we too cute, sitting here waiting on someone to promise forever?

You see, we got dumped here by our owners. How can they just walk away? It made us sad, but you know what? There are wonderful people like Miss Bev and Miss Maggie who just snatched us up lovingly in their arms and whisked us away. They are really nice and very special people who told us that there are humans who will promise to never let us go. Is that true?

Wayne—John Wayne, that is…”Life is tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid,” is what I like to say.

Well, doesn’t this prove it? I got busted straying around Oak Ridge and wound up here. I’m a perfect specimen of a very young adult boxer who is licking my chops thinking about being pulled from this calaboose! The folks at the shelter think I’m the bomb :). Please bail me out!
