Paws For Thought

“There’s nothing more comforting than a cold nose nudging you, as if to say: I’m here, and I love you.”

Strawberry Smile
A Juicy Tip For Clean Teeth!

Looking for an easy way to whiten up your dog’s smile?

Cut a strawberry 🍓 in half and gently rub it on your dog’s teeth. The malic acid in strawberries can help lift light stains and freshen things up. It’s not a substitute for brushing, but it’s a fun little helper now and then. Just don’t overdo it - strawberries have natural sugars, so think of it as an occasional treat with a smile.

Take Me Home!
Change A Life Today

Meet Emma - a spirited sweetheart who’s been waiting patiently for her forever home. Found as a stray in Dec. 2023, she’s spent the past year charming everyone in her foster home. While she couldn't stay (turns out she's not a fan of tortoises🐢), Emma's playful energy and loving nature shine bright.

She’s housebroken, knows commands like sit, paw, down, and rollover, and gives the best energetic hugs. Emma loves people and thrives on 🥰 affection, but she’d do best as the only pet in a home without small kids - so she can be the center of attention. If you're ready for a loyal, playful companion, Emma’s your girl.
