Double the love, half the size: Meet Michaela & Christy 🐾❤️

Michaela and Christy recently went through the heartbreak of losing their beloved Mom, and right now, the only thing keeping their little worlds steady is each other.

At under 10 lbs each, these sweet girls are pint-sized companions who do everything together—from sharing cozy nap spots to giving gentle comfort when things feel unfamiliar. Because their bond is so deep, they must be adopted together as a bonded pair.

Quick Facts:
* Size: Under 10 lbs each (easy to scoop up both in one hug!)
* Vibe: Gentle, loving, and deeply devoted to one another
* Ideal Home: A patient, caring environment where they can decompress, heal, and share their golden hearts with a new family.

Losing their person has been tough, but with a warm lap and a kind voice, their spirits shine right through. If you have room in your home and heart for two tiny best friends who just want to love again, please send a message or stop by to meet them.
Please share to help Michaela and Christy find their forever soft place to land! 🐶🏡✨

LOST: ONE VERY GOOD BOY WITH VERY BAD GPS! 📡🐾

​"Ole Red" arrived wearing a top-of-the-line collar that indicates "I’m in training," but those eyes say, "I have absolutely no idea how I got here, but do you have snacks?"
​Ole Red is safe, sound, and ready to disconnect from shelter life and reconnect with his family.

​Found: Red hound wearing a training/e-collar
​Current status: Out of range, looking for home base

​If this wandering country boy belongs to you (or you know who holds the remote to his heart), call or stop by the shelter with proof of ownership so we can cancel his solo adventure!

​Please SHARE to help boost Ole Red's signal back home!

Why Senior Dogs are secretly the Best Roommates 🐾🤍

​Skipping the puppy chaos might just be the best decision you ever make. Here is why adopting a senior pet is pure magic:

​What you see is what you get: Their size, coat, and personality are already fully developed. No guessing games!

​Calm, gentle companions: Calm paces, quiet evenings, and zero hyperactive jumping.

​Heart-healthy routine: Gentle daily walks and soft pets naturally lower stress and boost daily happiness.

Minimal training required: Most senior pets arrive already knowing the house rules.

Give a golden oldie the retirement home they deserve. Stop by the shelter this week to meet our sweet seniors! 🐶🐱✨

Did you know? Most "stray" dogs are actually just down the street from home! 🐾
​Studies show that 70% of lost dogs are found less than a mile from their front door (and over 40% are within just 400 feet!).

​When we immediately load a roaming dog into a car or call animal control to take them to the shelter, it often makes it harder for their frantic family to find them. Shelters can quickly become overwhelmed, and keeping a healthy pet in their immediate community gives them the highest chance of a quick reunion.

​If you see a friendly, healthy dog wandering:

1-​Keep them local first: Walk the dog around the block and ask neighbors or mail carriers if they recognize them.

2-​Post online before moving them: Share a photo on local neighborhood groups, Nextdoor, and Facebook lost-and-found pages.

3-​Scan for a microchip: Take them to a nearby vet or shelter to scan for a chip without surrendering them.

4-​File a report: Call the shelter to file a found report.

​Let's keep pets close to home and help our neighbors reunite faster! ❤️

UPDATE!!! Fred aka Pongo at the shelter- has been reunited with his owners! Thank you so much for sharing and helping us reunite them!!!

This handsome, sweet guy actually lives on the other side of the county from where he was picked up by ACO. We're not sure how that happened in a days time, as dogs generally live within a mile from where they're found. It’s truly a small miracle we were able to reunite them- thanks to you all for sharing his post!

ATTENTION SPARTA, PUTNAM AND CUMBERLAND COUNTY
This sweet pup was found near the county line near Neverfail Rd and Glade Creek rd.
Judging by how well its been cared for, surely it has someone who's looking for it.
Please SHARE !!! Let's get this baby back home. If you recognize me please call 931-484-8525.

Animal Control responded to a call yesterday afternoon on a very remote stretch of Smith Mountain Rd, where this handsome guy was found lying by the side of the road with a pile of dog food nearby.

​We’ve named him Harvey! 🐶

​While the circumstances suggest he may have been left behind, we're hopeful there's more to this story than meets the eye. Harvey is already neutered, has a fantastic temperament, and is in great physical shape (clean coat, no fleas or ticks!). Because he’s so well-cared for, we are holding out hope that there’s another explanation and a loving family is searching for him right now.

​A massive thank you to Officer Grove for getting Harvey safely off the road and into warm, caring hands. 💙

​📍 Found Location:
​Area: Smith Mountain Rd (Remote section)
​Name given by shelter: Harvey
​Traits: Male, Neutered, friendly/great temperament, well-groomed

​PLEASE SHARE this post to help us reach his owners if they are out there!
​If you recognize Harvey or have any information, please call our office at 931-484-8525.
