Yesterday was a good one! ❤️

We spent some time at Limestone Nursing & Rehab playing bingo with the residents, helping with their cards, handing out prizes, and most importantly, enjoying some great company.

We had an absolute blast getting to spend the afternoon with everyone. Thank you to Limestone Health Facility for having us and letting us join in on the fun!

We’re already looking forward to the next bingo game. 🥰

❤️ Happy International Dog Day! 🐾

Today we're celebrating our four legged friends, and we've got exciting news to share: Limestone County has approved a new animal shelter right here in Athens! The county purchased 3.55 acres to build a larger, modern facility that will replace the current shelter and give our growing community the space it needs to care for even more dogs and cats in need.

We can't wait to see this project come to life and give our furry neighbors an even better place to land.

❤️ In the meantime, Limestone County Animal Care & Control is still hard at work finding loving homes for thousands of pets each year. Consider adopting, fostering, or donating to support their mission!
