Our awesome Friends over at Dave & Adam’s Card World donated a SIGNED Keon Coleman Jersey for us to “Ruffle” off! … get it Ruff Ruff.

You can purchase them using the button above through October 17th. All proceeds go directly to our Sanctuary! Good luck, and LET’S GO BUFFALO!


*Please note bringing your furry friends to the sanctuary is a one time offer. Once we (White Whiskers) have our own dogs on the property, personal dogs will not be allowed for the safety & health of our dogs.

Group Grieving Sessions

Once our doors are open, White Whiskers will be launching our free group grieving sessions for coping with the loss of a pet. Pets quickly become a part of our family, and deserve to be grieved too. We feel this is an area that isn’t given a lot of attention, but it should be.

The plan right now is to meet bimonthly and interested parties can come and go without any commitment. The good news is, no one will be pressured to share. Listeners are welcome too.

Once this gets going, everyone will get a packet of tissues and one of our dogs on their lap.

Once we schedule a date for our first session it will be in our Newsletter, on Facebook and our Website!
