So it doesn’t confuse anyone, the name of the road is Ollis Bowers Hill Road.
I’m almost positive I seen this dog at Kroger yesterday (with owners) so he definitely belongs to someone!!

Poor baby. That's just wrong and the people who dumped her should be prosecuted.
Poor baby. I guess they could have done worse to the baby. Praying someone adopts and gives this baby a forever loving home. PEOPLE SPAY & NEUTER. This kind of treatment wouldn`t happen if people would spay and neuter. Don`t say I can`t afford it. There are groups out there to help you with that.
Sad people have no more love than that for an animal! Brighter days are ahead little one! Hang on tight!
Poor thing don't know what's going on

I know you guys have a dog food bank but do you guys ever give a bottle and milk replacement? We got a puppy and he's only 4 weeks old and I've been doing my research and it said he needs milk still.. I unexpectedly got him but we already love him so much and are committed to taking amazing care of him.. i don't get paid tell Friday and they only sent hard food with him.. any advice?? I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask since you guys have a program for dog food bank.

Foster found!!! Thank you!!!
✨Foster needed✨
Meet Nara, she is 8 years old! Nara has a rescue that is willing to take her in a couple weeks but needs a place to crash until then. She is very loving. The shelter isn’t the place for her 😞 picture on the left is when she first came into the shelter she is very sad, pictures on the right is her now, with lots of love from staff and volunteers. We are trying to make her feel as comfortable as possible as you can see she comes out of her shell with a little TLC! Can you help? Please come see her and fill out the foster application.

Update: Adopted🙂
🐈BARN KITTY ALERT🐈
Hi! My name is Church. My owners lied when they brought me in here. They said I’m an inside cat. Now they won’t come back and get me. The staff here are good to me but I hate being cooped up in this cage. It makes me grumpy sometimes but I can be a friendly cat. Really I can. Won’t someone please give me a nice barn with some hay or a garage with some old blankets for me to snuggle with when it’s cold? I promise to exterminate any mice or rats on your property. Please rescue me
My adoption fee is sponsored I just need a place to call home!

This kitty was adopted!
Is church still available?❤️
She can come here. Is she spayed? We have 3 indoor only cats, 1 outdoor cat, and 2 that come and go as they please, so one more kitty wont hurt
I could take her if dog friendly
If anyone can transport this kitty to duffield va, i want her. I dont drive but Im trying to get there
We could use a barn cat!
If we could get her in about 3 weeks, she’d be a perfect addition to our location. Pasture & a garage to hang out in. ❤️
best kitty !!💙
She’s a pretty girl. You can tell she’s scared. Poor thing. I pray she finds a good home.
I'll take him. That's just what I been looking for is an outside kitty for our mice problem.
David Barr this kitty would love it at your house.
How sad! The owners should not have lied about this poor kitty! 😡
Megan Johnson I saw you were looking for one!
Elaina Glynn need an outside kitty?
Deni O'Sullivan didn’t you say you need a barn kitty or two? lol
