Meet Rose, an exceptionally sweet and affectionate 1-year-old DSH! 🌹

This lovely girl is looking for a family to shower with love and attention. Rose is a bundle of joy who loves gentle pats and scratches, often rolling around in delight! While she can be a bit shy in new environments, with patience and understanding, she quickly settles in and shows her true affectionate nature. Her ideal home is indoors, where she feels safe and secure.

Rose would thrive as the only pet for now and would be a great match for a home with older children who can provide gentle companionship. If you're ready to welcome a sweet-natured kitty into your home, Rose might be the perfect addition to your family! ❤️

Meet Nathan, a unique and captivating 4-year-old DMH! 😻

This intriguing feline is looking for a special someone who understands his needs and can provide an enriching environment. While he may need a bit of patience initially, Nathan can be incredibly affectionate once he feels settled and secure. Nathan can live with another FIV+ feline friend.

Due to his FIV status, a large cat run would be ideal, allowing him to safely indulge his curiosity outdoors. Nathan cannot live with dogs. With his impressive energy and inquisitive nature, he needs plenty of enrichment to stay happy and stimulated.

With the right environment and loving guidance, Nathan will be a devoted companion who enriches your life with his unique charisma. ❤️

Introducing Bailey, an adorable 1-year-old, 4-month-old Schnauzer with a heart full of love! ❤️ Initially shy, Bailey's curiosity quickly shines through, and once she settles in, she reveals her affectionate nature, eagerly seeking cuddles and companionship.

Bailey truly blossoms in a home with another dog, finding comfort and guidance from a furry friend. She's already mastered the doggy door and enjoys the freedom it brings! With Bailey, you're not just welcoming a dog, but a lifelong companion who will shower you with gentle affection and endless devotion. 🥰

Meet Larry, a striking and gentle 4-year-old, 5-month-old Greyhound! ❤️

This charming "gentle giant" has a dignified, grey-muzzled look that gives him a wise appearance.

Despite his slightly weathered appearance, Larry has a heart of gold and gets excited to meet new friends!

Due to his size and enthusiasm, a home with children aged 8+ would be ideal. Larry walks wonderfully on the lead and loves socializing, making him a great companion for an active family.

He would thrive in a multi-dog household, especially with a medium to large dog. A family familiar with greyhounds would be especially beneficial, as they can understand his breed-specific needs, including caring for his arthritic joints and dental health. If you're looking for a devoted, bouncy companion with a patient soul, Larry is ready to fill your life with doggy love! 🥰

Meet Charlie, an endearing and super sweet 1-year-old, 7-month-old Bull Arab ready to shower her new family with love! ❤️

This enthusiastic girl thrives on human connection and is looking for a home where she can be the center of attention. While she's gaining confidence every day, she can still be a little timid in new situations.

Charlie is incredibly playful and affectionate with people but needs to be the only dog in the home. A calm and nurturing environment with dog-savvy older children (16+) would be ideal.

With a loving and experienced owner committed to her training, Charlie will truly blossom! 🌸

Meet Navi, a charming and sweet 3-year-old DMH with a striking tortoiseshell coat! 😻 This independent lady is looking for a family who understands her strong-willed nature and appreciates affection on her own terms.

Navi is best suited to a home where she's the only cat, allowing her to explore without competition.
A home with older children who respect her boundaries would be ideal.

Navi brings a harmonious mix of independence and affection, whether she's lounging in a sunbeam or briefly cuddling beside you. If you're ready to embrace her independent spirit, Navi is ready to steal your heart! ❤️

Meet Kobe, an exuberant and affectionate 7-month-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier eager to find his forever home! ❤️

This sweet and friendly boy thrives on human company and is looking for an active family to share adventures with. Kobe is a bundle of energy and needs consistent training and socialization to help him become his best self. While he can be a bit bouncy (jumping up/pulling on the lead), he's eager to learn.

An ideal home would have older kids (15+), though confident kids 12+ with large breed experience could also be a good fit.

Kobe is dog-social and could potentially live with a medium to large dog with a similar energy level. Even with a canine companion, he'll benefit from one-on-one attention, socialization, and potentially obedience classes to keep him mentally and physically stimulated. If you're looking for a vivacious and loving companion to add excitement to your life, Kobe could be the perfect match! 🐾

Meet Bindi, a gentle 2-year-old Bull Arab girl in need of a special foster home. Bindi is currently shut down and avoidant but shows no aggression.
