Featured Animal of the Week

Meet Sweety-May

Sweetie-May came in as a stray, and looking pretty rough. Poor girl was skinny, looked like she had puppies in the recent past, hot spots all over her, covered in fleas. We got her in and she is already eating much better, more social, and happy to see people! We found out Sweetie-May whines when she needs to go potty, and other than that, she is very quiet. We haven’t heard a peep out of her other than the whine. She keeps her area very tidy and has no reaction to any other dogs. Cats are unknown at the moment. Sweetie-May knows how to sit, lay down, and LOVES her belly rubs – she definitely has a happy tail! She is the sweetest lady!
