This is a place where animals are nurtured until they are able to find forever homes I volunteer and have fostered several dogs and the staff is just amazing and kind. They also allow people to come in for the day and take animals out for hikes and adventures.

This place is doing great work!🫶We went up there from W.V city hoping that they had found our cat 'Tiger' sad to say it turned out not to be him. But the guy that helped us was so helpful and genuine. And that getting rare these days! We felt so bad that we couldn't give this other cat a forever home, even though…

Careful if you’re looking for the Nuzzles at the Outlet mall. Google Maps pinned the new location in the upper section, but gave me walking directions to the old location. It’s in the upper section next to Old Navy.

This place is doing great work!🫶We went up there from W.V city hoping that they had found our cat 'Tiger' sad to say it turned out not to be him. But the guy that helped us was so helpful and genuine. And that getting rare these days! We felt so bad that we couldn't give this other cat a forever home, even though he wasn't 'Tiger'🥺 We're far from having money, even to pay our bills...but I'm going to make it my personal mission to spread the word about this place & the wonderful things there doing for these animals! And if ever the day comes when I'm better off then I am now🤞 I'm going to make the BIGGEST monetary donation EVER to them🤓👍 JB
