As he and his sister Pillar huddled, hiding in the undercarriage of the mobile home, Timmy knew that he should be the brave, manly brother. Still, as a baby, it was hard to be manly. Still, both kittens expected Mama to be back any minute. After all, she’d always stayed close. She’d always fed them, […]
Pillar is a perfect, pretty, 10-week-old miracle. The little girl is rare because she’s golden. Most golden cats are male. But that’s not why she’s miraculous. Pillar and her brother Timmy survived alone in the belly of a mobile home, after their mama was taken away. For a week, the nursing babies waited for mama […]

Her people abandoned Stormy. And it was, as so many sad songs say, just when she needed them most. Her people didn’t protect Stormy by spaying her. So, […]
When Raja hears, “I’ll be home for Christmas”, the easy-to-love, 18-month-old, beautifully brindled, Boxer-mix pup thinks of the Shelter. That’s partially because she’s been there since September, nearly one-fourth of her life.

The seven-month-old, 27-pound, Australian Shepherd/Border Collie puppy is too young, too trusting and too little to be out straying on his own. But eye-catching, tri-colored Beef Cake was. Then, Beef Cake must have bounced up to strangers. After all, that’s what he does in the shelter. The little guy loves humans and other dogs. Beef […]
Their owner went to a care facility. Someone was to care for the man’s beloved Australian Shepherds, Jack and Mack. That person said that, even though the dogs were left in an empty home, someone had fed them. That was hard to believe when the shelter staff saw the emaciated Australian Shepherds. It was impossible […]
