10/7 - We’re always advocating for our shelter friends, especially those who may seem stressed or anxious in their kennels. ❤️ Rosie is a great reminder that what you see in a kennel is only a small glimpse of a dog’s personality. Once they’re out and feeling comfortable, their true colors can really start to shine! 🐾 To learn more about Rosie, visit our website today: https://www.lollypop.org/animals/profile/214303028/

9/21 - Anubis may look like a little sausage-shaped pinto bean, but there’s a happy, wiggly pup hiding behind his shy side. 🩷 When Anubis first arrived at Lollypop Farm, kennel life was a lot for him. He was stressed and struggling to settle in, so our team worked to figure out what would help him feel more comfortable. And it’s working! Little by little, Anubis is coming out of his shell. He’s discovered toys, enjoys walks, and has started seeking out snuggles with our staff. His former family also shared that Anubis has lived happily with both dogs and children. We’re still getting to know how he feels about cats, but our Adoption team can help talk you through introductions if you have a feline friend at home. Now, this sweet boy is ready for the next step: a home where he can keep showing everyone the fun-loving dog we know he is! From now until the 30th, Anubis's adoption fee has been reduced to $70!🐾 To learn more about Anubis, visit our website: https://www.lollypop.org/animals/profile/214273791/

9/17 - Senior cats are some of the best companions you can find! 🐱❤️ With their personalities and preferences already established, there’s no need to guess what kind of feline friend might fit your lifestyle. You can get to know who they are and find a cat who’s the right match for you! Senior cats are often happiest enjoying the slower things in life, like relaxing in a cozy spot, spending time with their people, and soaking up plenty of love and attention. 🥰 They may be overlooked because of their age, but senior cats have so much love and companionship to give. Come meet some of our older friends today and see if your purr-fect match is waiting for you!
