There is so much to be grateful for, today and everyday. We’ll start by thanking our dedicated staff, who work passionately and tirelessly to support our mission. Their efforts are matched by our incredible volunteers who are deeply committed to seeing our programs succeed. And we simply could not handle the volume of animals we do each year without our fosters, who open their homes and hearts to cats and dogs in need and facilitate adoptions like total rockstars. Of course, we couldn’t do ANY of this impactful work without our unsung heroes, our donors. Shelter upkeep, community outreach, and animal care come with a hefty price tag, and our donors continue to show up for us, backing our direction. Thank you to each and every one of you, from the bottom of our hearts. We love what we do. Please enjoy the shelter pups’ special thanksgiving meal (ok, they’re getting a few 😆). We’ve really outdone ourselves with this one. 💀 #shelterdogs #happythanksgivng #givethanks #food #dogsofinstagram #adopt #foster #donate LINK IN BIO

‼️ It's time to clear your plate and more importantly, clear our shelter this week!

We are gearing up for Thanksgiving with the goal to clear our shelter before the holiday. This seasonal spin-off of our year-round Slumber Pawty Dog Program encourages families to foster over the holidays, which provides a much-needed break from the stress of the shelter in a home setting.

At this time, we have several dogs who are still looking for an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner. We will provide all the necessary supplies, including food, crate, medicine (if applicable) and more. We ask that all dogs are picked up on Wednesday, November 24 between 1-7pm. Participants are welcome and encouraged to host a dog through Monday, November 29 or longer. If a family decides to adopt their foster guest, we will waive the adoption fee 😁

Holiday chaos got you in a tizzy? Sounds like you could use some Harmony in your life. This gorgeous gal has a soft, chocolate coat and is just as sweet. She loves to stick right by her humans but promises not to throw you off balance. Harmony is perfect since she loves all people and pups, big or small. She's also already housebroken, crate trained, and knows basic commands. Adopt Harmony today and spend your holidays in perfect key!

She is about 4 years old and weighs 52 lbs. #gpgHarmony #adoptme

☝🏻☝🏻 Our actual faces when we realized our shelter is at 100% capacity, and we still have people calling hourly for our help. Sometimes it feels like only an early Christmas miracle will break the cycle. With so many locals up against unprecedented challenges and losing their housing left and right, as well as the inevitable cold weather influx, we see a storm a-brewin’. We try and keep it pretty light and breezy on our Instagram, page, but real talk, y’all, we’re starting to stress. The number one way to help us continue to answer our community’s calls right now is by raising your hand to foster. Space is finite, but with your help, the possibilities are endless. We’ll guide you through it! No experience necessary. Tap the link in our bio, and let’s do this thang. 👊🏻 #gpgFloyd #adoptme #fosteringsaveslives

Jack came here today for one reason and one reason only - to show off those spiffy moves. Okay actually maybe two reasons, also he would like to meet new people and go to his forever home. But I mean c’mon, check out those moves. This boy was meant for the big stage!!

When he’s not goofing around, this bundle of joy likes to spend his time playing with other pups and learning new things - he’s currently mastering the art of crating!

Blanche is dreaming about all of the places those Dumbo-sized ears could fly her if only they worked like his… ✈️🐘

I’ll be honest though, I think her first choice would be to fly right to your couch. This sweetie pie is still looking for her forever home, and she doesn’t have too many specific requests from you for it. She’d love a spot to snuggle on up and take a nap (rumor has it she’s a snorer), some love, and after that she’s not too picky. Put in your adoption form for this gal today before she flies away!

Help us settle this v important debate. Christmas decorations up on November 1st or December 1st? On one hand, we’re like, it’s a pandemic, and we can put our lights up in July if we damn well please. But on the other, it’s like, what about thanksgiving? Regardless of which side you sit and how you choose to celebrate, we hope you enjoy the upcoming holiday season. Falalalalala-tee-da! 🥧🎄🐾 Guess we should mention, this is Asia. She honestly doesn’t give a rat’s pa-tooty if you decorate at all, she just wants a home. Her family tragically lost their housing and had to give their girl up while they sorted their situation out, and we’re absolutely gutted for them and for her. In this season of giving, we hope you’ll consider fostering or adopting a homeless pet. Their gratitude is endless. #gpgAsia #adoptme

That feeing when the lady behind the big eye is making weird noises at you and asking you to sit your precious bum on the cold concrete… Umm, that’s gonna be a no from me. Does this count? I’d like to run and hop into the rolling crate that brought me here and get back to my foster home for snuggles and hot cocoa. My furry foster brothers 🐶 are waiting for me, and they’re a lot fuzzier and warmer than me. Can’t this lady see I’m missing fur?! Yeesh. #gpgRose #adoptme
