💕 Kietra sends a big THANK YOU to American Life for their partnership this year! Their financial support helps keep our pets fed, bellies full, and tails wagging while they wait for their new homes. Thank you, American Life! 💕

✨ Kietra is an adorable 1-year-old Pittie looking for her new home! She would thrive in an active home ready to keep her busy with plenty of toys and adventures. Can that be with you? ✨

Such an honor to be able to give back to our local organizations that do so much for our community! Keep doing what you’re doing Malachi Hopkins and team!! 👏🏼💙

We want to give a huge thank you to American Life Insurance for being a default sponsor of our 3rd Annual Champions Unleashed Gala.

We are truly grateful to partner with such an incredible company. In such a short amount of time, they have already contributed so much. Their team has a real passion for helping others, and that heart shows. Every dollar raised will go directly toward supporting our youth programs and rebuilding our scholarship fund so we can continue giving kids opportunities they may not otherwise have.

They also donated an amazing silent auction item. A round of golf for four with lunch at Wilderness Ridge Country Club. That alone is something you will not want to miss bidding on.

We are officially about two weeks away from the gala on February 13 at Embassy Suites, and the excitement is building. It is not too late to grab your tickets, donate a silent auction item, or become a sponsor.

If you want to be part of a night that changes lives and supports the next generation, reach out to us with any questions. Let’s make this one special.

The reason for the fight and why we support such an amazing organization ❤️

Today marks the one year anniversary since the passing of our namesake, Jack Hoffman. We miss him every day and honor his legacy by continuing the fight for children with brain cancer. We will never stop fighting.

🥰 Allie is excited to thank American Life for their partnership this year! Their generosity and kindness allows us to provide compassionate care to every pet who walks through our doors. 🥰

🩵🩵 Allie is a 5-year-old Siberian Husky and Australian Cattledog mix who enjoys playgroup with other dogs in the shelter, so if you have another dog at home, she’d love to meet them! She's pretty strong, so she would thrive with an experienced owner who can work on her leash pulling. 🩵🩵
