	Tippi the Therapy Dog


	We love to hear success stories, and Tippi's goes the extra mile. Tippi, a black lab, spent 45 days in the center last year before catching the eye of volunteer puppy paparazzi Suze Foote. To be honest, it wasn't love at first sight. "She didn't make that much of an impression on me, since she is a Lab and I'm a Chow Chow fanatic." But following the sad loss of their own dog, Tippi's calm energy seemed to be just what the family needed. Even though Tippi was tagged and micro-chipped, no family had come to claim her. The Foote household soon learned why: Tippi was constantly thirsty but also suffered from incontinence. Thanks to the patience of her new family (and the extensive plastic they laid down), Tippi now deals with her problem with the help of diapers. But this isn't just a successful adoption story. Tippi went on to earn her Canine Good Citizen certification and then passed her Therapy Dog certification with flying colors. Her good manners and training have allowed Suze to combine two of her favorite causes- dogs and the elderly. Suze hopes to start visiting assisted living facilities with Tippi soon, and maybe Tippi can provide comfort for others in need of her calm, gentle energy.

Featured Fosters


	Potential pets that have been taken into foster homes often get overlooked for adoption, but they need forever homes too!

Lilly

If you're looking for a laid-back walking partner, look no further than Lilly. This sweet girl loves to lounge around spend time with her people. She's house-trained and doesn't jump or bark, and since she's not a puppy you don't have to worry about her chewing up everything! If you need a friend to relax and unwind with, Lilly's looking for a new home.

Caroline


	June is "adopt a cat" month! How about Caroline, one of our many amazing cats who is available for adoption?

Caroline is a beautiful 10 month old tabby. She is incredibly sweet and enjoys playing fetch with her foster mom. Caroline is a loving kitty that enjoys attention, although she is a bit afraid of being picked up and carried around. She is loving to other cats as well.
Watch her play on YouTube!
