Looking for a home: Boss, an adorable Catahoula-pit mix, is four years old. He is so cute and loves to play ball so much that he plays by himself. Boss needs a home with no other pets or children. If you can throw a ball, come out and play a game with him.
Watson here, and I would like to share my experience of being a CAPS guest. I was dropped off at the pound by my family for reasons I don’t know. My friend Pauline found me and brought me to CAPS. Phew! That was a close call!
CAPS is a great place, and the folks work hard to find happy-ever-after homes for everyone.
One of the real perks of CAPS is going to Maggie’s Playhouse. Maggie was Shannon Miller’s beloved dog who has gone over the rainbow. Shannon established a safe, fun place for dogs to stay during the day and named it in honor of Maggie. She teaches everyone to behave and get along. Nobody barks crazy wild either.
Shannon is wonderful and works endlessly to find homes for dogs in the pound. She has a soft spot in her heart for older dogs and tenderly takes care of them until their final days. Shannon has taken many dogs who have been abandoned by their families because they have been old, tired and needing care. She is a hero for the helpless.
I am proud of how Shannon handled the recent flu epidemic. She closed Maggie’s, informed the community, and spent endless hours cleaning/disinfecting the playhouse. She also established a policy that dog’s must have a flu vaccine to return.
My friend Rogue told me she’s bored spitless staying at home and is looking forward to Maggie’s reopening. Maggie’s is her home away from home.
XO Watson
