Overlooked to Overloved Adoption Event for Long-Stay Dogs
Overlooked… to Overloved 💛
Join us for a special adoption event dedicated to some of our most deserving dogs—those who have been waiting just a little longer for their perfect match.
On May 30th & 31st from 12PM–5PM, we’re shining a spotlight on our long-stay dogs—each one full of love, personality, and so ready for a home of their own. To help them take that next step, adoption fees will be waived for any dog who has been in our care 90 days or longer.
These dogs are here for all kinds of reasons—some simply just keep getting overlooked, while others may be looking for a home that fits them just right. But one thing they all have in common? They are absolutely worth it.
We’re also excited to have our partner trainer, Kirsten Watry from Wise Dogs Behavior and Training, onsite throughout the event! She will be available to chat and help answer questions, so you can feel confident finding the right fit for your home and lifestyle.
As we get closer to the event, we’ll be sharing which dogs will be participating—plus, some adopters will go home with sponsored training sessions from Kirsten, along with helpful gear like harnesses and more to help set everyone up for success.
Whether you’re ready to adopt or just want to learn more, we invite you to come meet these incredible dogs and see for yourself why they deserve a second look.
Sometimes the ones who wait the longest have the most love to give!
