HAPPY GOTCHA DAY! Petey our longest resident that has been with us for (75 days) has been adopted by a wonderful couple who are ready to shower him with all the attention, cuddles, and belly rubs he deserves. He's officially trading his kennel for a comfy couch and a life filled with endless playtime!
To the amazing couple who adopted Petey: Thank you for opening your hearts and home to this incredible boy. We know he is going to thrive with you!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY! Francois has been such a gentle soul during his time with us, always ready with a quiet purr and a loving head-butt. We are so happy to know he'll be curling up on a warm lap tonight, enjoying a life where he is the center of attention! We want to send a huge thank you to Francois's new family. You've given a deserving cat the best gift in the world: a forever family.

Meet Edith! She is very shy and a very sweet cat. She may seem a bit nervous, but she does love ear scratches and back rubs. A shelter can be a stressful environment for many animals, if this sweet girl had a place to call home then all those nerves would disappear in no time! Come take her home with you and show her a place where she can snuggle and snooze in peace, anxiety-free!

This 5–6 yr old Lab mix is a big, gentle sweetheart who loves everyone — dogs, cats, and people alike! He came to us with his friend Yumeko after his owner could no longer care for him.

Bjorn would love a walking buddy to help him lose a few pounds, and he's already working on clearing up a mild skin allergy with meds.

If you're looking for a friendly, loyal companion, come meet Bjorn — he’s ready to fill your home with love!

This beautiful black and white Domestic Short Hair is pure love wrapped in fur! True to her name, Chatty Catty will happily tell you all about her day — she’s quite the conversationalist.

When you walk into the room, she’s the first to greet you, ready for rubs, cuddles, and affection. She gets along great with other cats and is wonderful with kids, making her the perfect addition to any family.

Chatty Catty came to us as a stray, but from day one she’s been nothing short of purrfect. Friendly, affectionate, and full of personality — she’s everything you could want in a feline friend.

Come meet Chatty Catty and let her talk her way right into your heart!

This gorgeous girl is a possible Shepherd/Rottweiler mix and is as sweet as they come. Luna came to us as an owner surrender — not for anything she did wrong, but because she’s a little too adventurous and kept finding her way out of the yard. This smart girl loves exploring, and she’s ready for a home that can keep up with her curiosity and zest for life!

Luna is amazing with kids of all ages — gentle, loving, and patient. She already has wonderful manners too: she’s great on a leash, fully potty trained, and eager to please. Truly the whole package!

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and family-friendly companion, Luna could be the perfect match. With the right home and secure space, she will thrive and give endless love in return. 💛🐾

Come meet Luna and let her steal your heart!
