Our shelter lost a member of the team this week and our hearts are broken. Many of you have seen “Front Office Support “ , Rosie, sleeping under our receptionist desk. Rosie was 14yrs old, and came to work with her mom nearly every day for 6yrs. Rescued herself, Rosie helped foster countless puppies and kittens (bottle babies were her favorite), provided emotional support for office staff, and in her younger days she helped socialize and temperament test our adoptable dogs. When she retired from dog testing, she still wanted to come to work, so she moved into her retirement spot under the desk… still loving on everyone that came by. Thank you Rosie for a job well done, you are so missed by your mom and all of us.

Please keep our team in your thoughts as many of them loved Rosie as their own.

Also to add, Thank you to PetCare cremations in Kingsport for your excellent care with her.

Question...this next weekend we are supposed to get up to 7" of snow. Will the spay and neuter clinic still be happening on Monday if we get that much snow? I have a stray kitty I took on that's scheduled to be spayed, but if it snows that much I don't know if I'll be able to get her there. Should I just reschedule?

STAY Warm!
