🐉 This delightful boy is Toothless and currently he is our longest resident here at the shelter. At just over a year old he is all about play, whether it is hunting feathers, chasing jiggle balls, or hopping from one perch to another. So full of life and very affectionate, he periodically checks in with you to make sure you are having a good time as well by climbing into your lap and providing you with head boops and constant purrs. If he thinks you can’t hear his adoration he will put his head next to your ear a purr even louder. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. A friendly cat full of youthful vigor, ready to go to his forever home. 💙💚

🐿️This little man is Ryder and he is just 10 months old. At today’s play group he came in quite shy but quickly warmed up once meeting a few other very playful dogs. After that he was all for sprinting around the yard, getting in some wrestle time, and play bowing every chance he got. The one thing that he loved more than that though simply receiving affection from people. Ryder would make a wonderful addition to any home, and would benefit greatly from a home with other animals. Come by the shelter today and fill out and adoption application.💚💙

🦣Kareem is the perfect companion for any dog lover. He’s super confident, relaxed in high energy environments, and listens immaculately even when distractions are around. To put it best, if you looked up ‘good boy’ in the dictionary it would have a picture of Kareem. This handsome man is currently looking for a place to call home, and although we will miss him immensely for our shelter dog play groups, we know he will make a family very happy.💚💙

👽 This dapper gentleman is Little Guy. At just a year old he prefers to find a comfortable corner to curl up and relax. A sweet, shy guy that does not want to be impolite and ask for a pet, but given the attention and care, he has a fantastic rumbling purr and is grateful for every head pat and rump scritch. Already neutered, microchipped and vaccinated he is ready for a cozy nook and warm cuddles, all he needs now is you. 💙💚

👻 Great for hugs and snuggles, meet Boo! This female bunny is comfortable being held and is not shy to meet new people.

🐡This handsome fellow is Dursley and he’s looking for a companion that has dog experience. Dursley is a very happy and friendly guy at just 7 months old, but as for training he has very little. He is learning how to sit and walk on leash quite quickly but it will need continued work. His biggest thing however is he can become very mouthy when excited, or when he gets frustrated. He is getting better day by day, but what would be best is a home environment where he can continue to grow while feeling loved. Help Dursley find a place to call his very own, and you will make this dog a very happy boy.💚💙
