SAVE THE DATE
The Paint Your Pet fundraiser through Painting with a Twist has been rescheduled for Sunday, Aug. 9.
PUPDATE – Ya’ll remember our sweet Clover?! We rescued him around St.Patrick’s Day, with severe injuries and we didn’t know what the road ahead would look like for him. His amazing foster, Ashley, gave him so much TLC and a safe place to heal. What a difference a month can make. Clover is healthy and super happy, because he just got adopted!! He even has a new brother, Harry. Go Clover!!

NAME MY BREED
Bella (FKA Kit) came to us with her sister Zeniba (FKA Dot) as the only surviving puppies of a litter found by a good samaritan. We were happy to have them in our program. We couldn’t guess what their breeds were, but now we know!!!From Bella’s family:
Bella’s full name is Isabella Luna Kemp. We have many nick names for her (Munchkin, Bellarina, Baby girl). She has a spunky personality and is sweet as sugar. She loves to run and play and gives her big sister kisses and grooming daily. She is a big time Daddy’s girl and runs to the door to wait for him the minute she hears the garage door open. She spends her day keeping Mommy company in her office while she works. All in all she is a blessing to our family and we can’t imagine our lives without her.
