Still have yet to hear back from anyone where my dog went to almost a year ago....
Thank you to the Fort Henry Drive Walmart and Purina/Nestle for the wonderful Pack the Pallet event we had this past Friday! We took home 1.6k pounds of food for our furry (adoptable) friends at the shelter! We are so grateful to all of the people who donated and made this possible as well. #animalshelterofsullivancounty #walmart #nestle #purina - let’s do this again!

Hey Traci or Lori or someone. Those people are selling lab puppies Out on the street in this heat in front of the U-Haul place on Stone drive where the other guy sells the peaches and strawberries every year. I thought those weren't allowed. And I don't know who's responsible over there. 😞😤
Is that Colt getting adopted??❤️🥳
Petworks Animal Services Has anyone contacted you all about this???

Excellent advice! Be patient , their entire world has been turned upside down many times and they don’t know you’re “home” yet.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
