🌟 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: LAURA MARCERO! 🌟
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Laura Marcero! ❤️
Laura has been volunteering with us for 6 years and has become a wonderful, reliable friend to our shelter dogs. She regularly takes dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels out for walks, helping them get exercise, build confidence, and experience the routine and stability that will help them thrive in their future homes. 🐾
Today, Laura came in to walk dogs, but when we asked if she could also help organize the cans in our dog food area, she didn’t hesitate. In fact, she stayed hours beyond her normal volunteer shift to take on the task! She organized, cleaned up, and completely cleared out the area—and did an incredible job.
We are so grateful for Laura’s flexibility, organization, and willingness to take on whatever needs to be done. Volunteers like her make such a difference for our animals and our shelter. ❤️
THANK YOU, LAURA, FOR SIX YEARS OF GIVING YOUR TIME, TALENT, AND HEART TO OUR SHELTER! 🐶🐾 ... See MoreSee Less

Mooney’s Happy Ending 🐾❤️
Remember Mooney? We shared his story a while back, hoping someone would see the special cat he was and give him the chance he deserved. We’re so happy to share that Mooney has found his forever home—and he is doing beautifully!
His new family shared that Mooney has been exploring, eating well, playing with his toys, and giving all the purrs, rubs, and “muffin” massages. He’s even letting them touch his paws and brush him, and he’s already comfortable being carried around. ❤️
If he gets startled, Mooney knows he can retreat to a safe spot, but he comes back out on his own to find his people. Overnight, he ventured out to eat, use his litter box, and pull toys out of his basket to play. And apparently, he was so excited about his adventures that he woke everyone up at 12:45 a.m. to share the news! 😂
We’re incredibly grateful to the foster families who helped Mooney along the way, as well as the team at State Farm, for giving him the time, patience, and love he needed to become the happy, loving cat he is today.
This is the kind of happy ending we love to see. Happy life, Mooney! We couldn’t be happier for you. 🥰🐱 ... See MoreSee Less
