Looking for a quiet companion to keep you company? Sammy might just be your perfect match! This gorgeous girl is shy at first, but once she warms up, she’ll happily claim your lap - especially when you’re trying to work or study.

Sammy needs a calm, patient adopter who’ll let her settle in on her own terms. Once she feels safe, she loves gazing out the window, watching the birds and chipmunks outside.

Thanks to a generous donor, Sammy’s adoption fee is waived!

When Kody came to AWLA, he was in rough shape—matted fur, pressure sores, cherry eye, and severely underweight. But thanks to supporters like you, Kody got the TLC he desperately needed. From a “spa day” to surgeries, specialized feeding, and the comfort of a foster home, your generosity gave Kody the chance to heal. And now? He’s living his best life as Rosco Oreo with his perfect family, who says he’s “the best thing that has happened to us all year!” This holiday season, your support means animals like Kody get the care they deserve and find loving homes to call their own. 🐾 Please consider making a gift today to help more animals in need: www.awla.org/donate/2024social/

😂 Maui and Olay's steps to going viral:

Step 1: Sniff the camera for a solid 90 seconds.
Step 2: Get in the perfect position to show off their butts.
Step 3: Purr loudly enough to drown out all audio.
Step 4: Finally reveal their faces... but only for a second.

They might be a little camera shy, but they’re all about snuggling and lap time. Maui and Olay are ready to curl up with you and keep you company! Visit them at the shelter today!

Because of you, Cash is back where he belongs. ❤️🐾 When Cash’s mom faced a medical emergency, she had to make the heartbreaking decision to seek temporary care for her beloved companion. Through our H.E.L.P. (Housing Emergency Lifeline for Pets) Program, Cash stayed with us for two weeks, receiving love, nourishment, and care while his mom recovered.

Thanks to your generosity, we provided a safe haven for Cash until his mom could bring him home again. Cliff Ballena, our Director of Community Resources, recalls the reunion: “As I walked Cash out of the kennels, his tail wagged faster with every step. It was like he knew who we were going to see. When he leapt into his mom’s arms, their joy was contagious—it was a moment I’ll never forget.”

You make reunions like this possible! When you give today, you ensure pets and their families stay together through life’s toughest challenges. Thank you for making a difference. Donate now to keep more pets safe and loved: www.awla.org/donate/2024social/
