Virtual Adoption

In usual times, the beginning of Spring calls for the Annual Doggie Adoption Days at our General Stores. We bring adoptable dogs into our stores in hopes to connect them with a new family.  Due to the national pandemic, we’ve decided to host this successful event virtually! We’ve partnered with our local shelters to share their adoptable dogs via our “Virtual Gallery.”  Please take a look and help these pups find their “Furever” home. We hope to return to an in-store event again by Fall 2021. 

SHOP FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

Not ready to adopt?  Purchase our "Rescued is my Favorite Breed" silicone bracelet online or in-store and we'll donate 100% of the proceeds to our local animal shelters!
