Her curiosity is boundless. Every flickering shadow, every mysterious nook, every tiny movement—it all draws her in, and she’s determined to uncover every secret. The world is her playground, and she’s ready to dive in one little paw at a time. This little explorer is ready to spread her wings and caw out her favorite corners of the world.

Ready for a little chatter in your life? Adopt Crow and let her put a smile on your face—no feathers required! 🐾✨

🍫 Break me off a piece of this KitKat! 🍫

At just 1 year old and 46 pounds, this sweet boy is a real treat to be around. KitKat’s favorite game is making new dog friends in playgroups, and he’s got a “mouthy” way of showing excitement that’s just part of his candy-coated charm! 🍭

He’s totally fueled by snacks and ready for anything if treats are involved! This guy knows the quickest way to his heart is through his stomach. 💛 And one of his most unique quirks? KitKat loves biting at water like it’s his own splashy chew toy!

We’re pretty sure he’s cool with cats too, but one thing’s for sure—he’s ready to be someone’s paws-itively sweet forever friend. 🍫 Don’t miss out—grab a piece of KitKat before he’s gone! 🍬

🎶 Where you lead, Lorelai will follow 🎶

Meet Lorelai, the pup who’s sweeter than a slice of Luke’s pie. At 4 years old, this lovable girl is a champion of belly rubs and sunbathing, ready to bask in the warmth of your affection.

Always up for a walk, she sniffs her way through life with the enthusiasm of a Gilmore on a caffeine high! She may be a little on the thicker side weighing 50 lbs, but that just means there’s more Lorelai to love—like the extra whipped cream on your favorite specialty latte.

With a friendly personality that lights up any room, she’s as charming as the townsfolk of Stars Hollow. However, this sociable gal would thrive best in a home without small dogs or cats, so she can be the center of attention.

Lorelai is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. And while she is heartworm positive, CARE covers part of her treatment after adoption, so don’t let that keep you from meeting her!

If you’re looking for a loyal companion to curl up with during Gilmore Girls reruns this November, Lorelai is ready to bring her love and laughter into your home! ☕️

Meet Danny:

Hi, I’m Danny, a lovable 4-year-old pup with a big heart and a playful spirit! Despite facing challenges, I’m resilient and social with other dogs, though I’m not the best fit for cats.

I’m a total sweetheart who craves attention and affection from my favorite humans. I’ve been treated for heartworm, received all my vaccinations, and am neutered. I'm sweet and eager to find a family to call my own!

A special thanks to Kent McCown Group; Coldwell Banker Alliance for sponsoring Aggie the month of November!

Interested in adopting Aggie? Her adoption fee is covered thanks to Kent McCown Group; Coldwell Banker Alliance.

Meet Aggie:

This sweet girl has been with us for 295 days, and she's ready to find her forever home. Aggie loves spending her days playing with other dogs and her favorite toys. She's best with older kids since she can get a little too excited around little ones. If you're looking for a cuddle bug, look no further—Aggie is all about snuggling up after a fun day!
A message from Aggie's foster: She is obsessed with car rides (and pup cups! ), enjoys playing with toys, loves laying on the couch with you, and is always up for long walks.
Don't miss out on this sweet girl; she would be the best companion and can't wait to find her forever home.

🌱 Ever thought about adopting a Chia Pet that cuddles back? 🌱

Meet Chia, our 3-year-old, 40-pound furry friend who’s ready to grow into your heart! 🌞 From park strolls to woodland hikes, Chia finds seed-sational joy in every adventure. With a calm, lovable demeanor, she’s always ready to stop mid-walk for head scratches and cuddles, making her a staff favorite here at CARE.

fter a day of exploration, she’s happiest lounging in the sun, completely content. She’s a friendly girl with all kinds of dogs. While she’s great with pups, Chia appreciates her mealtimes solo due to a little resource guarding, so a family who understands her personal space would be ideal.

Chia’s been waiting 106 days to find her fur-ever garden—come meet her today and see if she’s the pawsome addition you’ve been looking for! 🌿

Don’t be spooked—Leggy Legume is here to steal your heart and maybe your candy! 🍬🌱

Leggy Legume refers to a plant that has elongated stems with sparse leaves, typically concentrated at the top. This growth pattern often occurs when a plant stretches toward light, resulting in a tall, thin appearance.

This little bean may be shy at first, but once he warms up, he’ll leaf you spellbound with cuddles.

With his enchanting eyes that shift from amber to light hazel, he’s sure to cast a spell on your heart. Remember, good things take time to blossom, so don’t be scared if he’s a little hesitant to share his love right away.

If you’re ready for a Halloween special, come meet Leggy and watch this shy little sprout grow into your most loyal companion! 🌿💙

With a heart as big as a Wookiee, Jabba is the ultimate cuddle buddy and playtime enthusiast. He shines in playgroups, making friends of all temperaments faster than Han Solo can make the Kessel Run.

Don’t let this adorable furball fly away like the Millennium Falcon—he’s neutered and ready to become part of your family. So why wait? Help Jabba escape the dark side of shelter life and make him your new best friend! May the paws be with you! 🌟

This regal tabby doesn’t mind a few pets, but when she’s had enough royal attention, she needs her alone time to recharge. Chill and carefree, she’s not worried about a thing—just living her best life!

Though she’s FIV+, don’t let that scare you; Gwen is just as lovable and ready to rule your heart. 🐾 She needs an owner who is attentive to her needs and treatments, ensuring she stays healthy and happy. Spayed and ready for her throne, she went from stray to royalty in no time.

Named after the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife, this curious 3-year-old pup is ready to explore the world like a true pharaoh. Once a stray, Anubis has transformed from a wandering soul into a shining star with a personality that’s as bright as the sun over the Nile!

He loves to be outside, sniffing out adventures and discovering new sights. Whether he’s chasing leaves or lounging in the sun, Anubis can’t wait to see what treasures life has in store. However, he prefers a cat-free kingdom—he’s just not feline it.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will guard your heart like a tomb and bring joy to your days, look no further. Adopt Anubis and let him lead you on a journey fit for a king! 👑✨

Meet Luna, your little moonbeam! 🌙✨

This 2.5-year-old pup may have a small frame, but she has a heart that’s larger than life. At about 26 pounds, she’s the perfect size to cuddle up with under the stars.

Luna came to us feeling scared and unsure, but with patience and love, she’s blossomed into the adorable girl we adore today. She loves both people and other dogs, and while she may need a little time to build her confidence to play, once she does, her spirit truly shines.

Spayed, microchipped, up to date on shots, and heartworm negative, Luna is ready for a fresh start. She would do best in an adults-only home where she can feel safe and loved.

Ready to let Luna light up your nights? Adopt her today and watch your life become a beautiful adventure!🌟
