Story
💔 DESPERATE PLEA – SENIORS NEED A MIRACLE TOGETHER 💔 These two 7-year-old bonded seniors have lost everything. They spent their entire lives together with the only family they ever knew—until their owner passed away. Now, they are dumped, confused, and facing an uncertain future, through no fault of their own. They are sweet, gentle dogs who rely on each other for comfort and safety. Separating them would be heartbreaking—they are all each other has left. Important details: • Must be adopted together • No other pets in the home • Both are loving, calm, and well-mannered • Seniors who deserve peace, not another loss These dogs do not belong in a shelter. They deserve a quiet home, a soft place to land, and someone willing to give them dignity after such a tragic loss. 🙏 Please—be their miracle. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152

🚨 URGENT – Meet Sully 🚨 Sully came into the shelter as a stray and is currently underweight, but his gentle spirit and loving personality shine through.

He’s the kind of dog who just wants someone to notice him, care for him, and give him the chance to regain his strength in a loving home. ✨ He’s sweet, well-mannered, and ready to thrive — all he needs is a chance. ✨ PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152
