SWEET BULLET is another long-stay pup with us! He's such a joy, and clearly had a blast with his 'Doggie Day Out' volunteer!!! Bullet is patiently awaiting his forever home, but would love that to be sooner than later! APPLY TO ADOPT HIM on our website (which is back up!) and come visit him at the shelter!

Long Stay Alert! Punch Buggy has been with us MARCH with virtually no interest despite Doggie Day Outs with volunteers, promotions, etc. He was adopted as a pup back in 2023 after less than a month in the shelter, but finds himself looking for yet another forever home when that family moved and couldn't bring him with them. Now he's 4 y/o and no one expected he'd be here for 6 more months. Poor Punchy. 💔💔💔

If you're looking for a dog of dogs who just wants a warm bed and to help be your garden buddy, COME VISIT PUNCH BUGGY IN THE SHELTER any time we're open, Monday-Saturday, 11am-4pm. Visit our website to APPLY TO ADOPT! https://svasc.net
