Take a look at what this community made possible!

Over the last few weeks, our School Supply Drive grew beyond what we imagined, and our Summer Picnic brought in even more generous donations. Together, we filled carts with school supplies that are now headed to Field Elementary School, helping local students walk into the school year with the tools they need to succeed.

We're so thankful to everyone who donated, shared our Amazon Wish List, and helped make this drive such a success. This is what community is all about, and we're grateful to be part of one that always shows up for its neighbors.

Thank you for helping us make a difference. 🍎📚

Every home has a story, and this one is especially meaningful to us.

7160 Maplewood Dr was home to Susan Bakken and her husband, Dennis, whose passion for helping animals has touched countless lives. As the founder of All Dogs Rescue, Susan dedicated so much of her time to giving dogs a second chance and helping them find loving homes—a mission that has always been near and dear to our hearts.

We're incredibly grateful for the relationship we've built with All Dogs Rescue over the years. From welcoming adoptable dogs to our annual Summer Picnic to supporting their mission in our community, it's been an honor to partner with such an amazing organization.

As this chapter comes to a close for the Bakkens, we're thankful they trusted us to help guide them through the sale of their home. We wish them all the best in this next chapter and thank them for the incredible difference they've made for so many dogs and the families whose lives have been changed because of them. ❤️🐶
