Swing by Critters Pet Shop on Sunday, March 16th an meet Belle our sweet Shar-Pei mix!

Belle is a beautiful 4-month-old Shar-Pei pup with the softest wrinkles and the sweetest heart. This little girl had a rough start—she and her siblings were locked in a basement since they were 3-weeks old, never knowing the joy of sunshine or fresh air. But despite it all, Belle is full of love, playfulness, and puppy joy!

She’s got a wonderful temperament, adores kids, and is always ready for snuggles. Whether she’s romping around or curling up for cuddles, Belle is just looking for a family to show her what it means to be truly loved.

Could you be the one to give Belle the forever home she deserves? If so, please give us a call to arrange a private meet and greet.

Ever wondered what it’s like to selfie-up with an adorable piglet? Now’s your chance! Swing by Critters on Saturday, June 28 for a one-of-a-kind Wilbur Meet & Greet. Snap a photo, scratch a snout, and help every animal in our care—all for just a $10 donation.

💡 Why a pig photo op? “Kiss-a-Pig” and similar events are proven fundraising favorites, drawing crowds and smiles alike

Sanctuaries and rescues nationwide host pig meet-ups because pigs are social, gentle, and love the limelight

Even Wilbur of Charlotte’s Web fame shows how quickly a friendly pig wins hearts

How it works:

Check in any time between 1 PM and 3 PM.

Drop your $10 donation (cash or card).

Step into Wilbur’s mini photo-pen—phone or camera ready!

Snap away; staff will help capture the perfect pig-ture.

🎯 100 % of donations feed, house, and vet-care our adoptable cats, dogs, reptiles, and exotics. Your pic = their fresh bedding, vaccines, and tasty meals.

📸 Picture prompt: Wilbur nuzzling the camera while a smiling guest holds a little chalkboard sign reading “I met Wilbur at Critters!”—bright barn-themed backdrop, soft natural light.

Tell your friends, wear your best pig-pink, and get ready for snorts, squeals, and serious cuteness. See you in the pen!
