Lyric’s New Beginning: From Shelter Struggles to a Forever Home! 🏡🐾
We are thrilled to announce that Lyric, our 4-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix with a big personality, has found his forever home! 🏡✨
Lyric came to us with some challenges, including recurring ear infections caused by narrow ear canals and severe skin irritation, which required treatment. With time, care, and patience, he made a full recovery. While in the shelter, the stress of kennel life caused some behavioral challenges, but we weren’t about to give up on him.
Thanks to the dedication of our staff and the incredible support of Christine, a trainer who has worked wonders with some of our dogs, Lyric underwent weeks of training to build confidence, learn new skills, and cope with his stress. He made remarkable progress and was ready to thrive in a home that could provide him with structure, understanding, and lots of love.
Now, Lyric has found his perfect match—a family committed to continuing his training and giving him the life he deserves. We’re so proud of how far he’s come and can’t wait to see him shine in his new home. 🐾
Mischief and Miracles: Caesar’s Adoption Tale
After 233 days, Caesar has found his forever home! 🐾❤️
When Caesar first arrived as a stray, he didn’t trust humans and wanted nothing to do with us. He was nervous, untrusting, and kept his distance. But over time, this spirited boy began to show his true colors. Over the last few months, Caesar blossomed into a happy, friendly, and playful cat. He even became a bit of a star, attending cat yoga sessions and charming everyone with his antics.
Caesar was also quite the jokester. He loved to bother the staff while they worked, swatting at their legs, zooming around the shelter, and occasionally knocking things over just for fun. Despite his mischievous side, his personality made him impossible not to love.
Known as the "ladies’ man" of the shelter, Caesar got along well with kittens and female cats but liked to remind the male cats who was boss. He adored exploring, playing with toys, and getting attention on his own terms.
While we’ll miss his spirited presence and playful mischief, we’re overjoyed to announce that Caesar has been adopted! His journey from a scared stray to a confident, loving companion is a beautiful reminder of the power of patience and love. Cheers to Caesar and his new forever family! 💕
