What a handsome dog I hope he’s just lost and not dumped. I have two Rescue pities and they mean the world to me.

The Animal Shelter of Sullivan County is the vaccine clinic still happening May 15th? What times? I couldn't find it on the website so I wasn't sure.
As inexpensive as our vaccines are to community, this is sad it continues to cause problems for a dogs. Please vaccinate your animals. Next clinic is May 15th, or can do vaccines by appt if you don't need a rabies.

These sweet kitties are 2 years old and lost their human unexpectedly. 😢 These girls were scared at first, but have blossomed into their personalities. 🌸
They spent some time at Petsmart, Kingsport and have taken a few days at one of our fosters home to relax and enjoy "real cat life" again. They've settled in GREAT. 🐈😸
We'd love for them to be adopted and settle into their OWN homes. They can be adopted together with sponsored fee or separate. 🏡
They will return to Petsmart, Kingsport but would LOVE for them to be adopted and not have to go back but head to their OWN homes. 💜
Comment for details and we will set up a time to meet them. Give them a second chance at a forever family.
