Picture of the Week
While holding one of our mobile adoptions at PetSmart in Springfield recently, we ran into one of our "alumni", Sierra, who was looking for some yummy treats. Sierra is but one of our many former residents who have transitioned into their forever homes. 09/14/2021

PROTECT YOUR PETS!
People are urged not to leave their pets unattended for even a few minutes in their yard or any public place. Even dogs in fenced yards with locked gates are at risk, so keep a really close eye on your pet and, if you notice any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area, call your local law enforcement agency immediately.
