SUNDAY SHARE! 🙏🙏

MIMI - the best hugger we know! 🤗

We don't know how many times we've posted about this beautiful girl, but she's still waiting patiently with no interest. 😔 At 4 years old, Mimi is the perfect age – past all those puppy antics, and ready to be someone's loyal companion. She's been with us for over 5 months, and we can't understand why!

Mimi is an Aussie Cattle Dog mix, known for her intelligence and active nature. She's got it all – beauty, brains, and the sweetest, loving heart. 💖 Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy or a loyal friend to snuggle up with after a long day, Mimi is your girl.

Mimi’s ready for her forever home. Could it be yours? 🏡 Let’s not make her wait any longer. Share her story and help us find her the loving family she deserves! 💕

Mimi qualifies for our Clear the Shelters program and has a reduced adoption fee for approved applicants.

Photo dump from a walk with Balboa!!! 📸 🩷

This 6-7 month-old Boxer/Bulldog mix is the sweetest little guy with the cutest piggy tail 🐖 you’ll ever see! Balboa is dog friendly and absolutely obsessed with people ♥️. He’s still young and full of energy, so he’s looking for a home with a fenced yard where he can run and play. While he’s adorable, he’s still just a puppy learning his manners and needs someone who’s ready to help him thrive with obedience classes.
Think you could be Balboa’s perfect match? Please click on Balboa's link to read more about him and his needs. Let’s find him his forever family! 🏡

Our sweet Claire has been waiting far too long for a home. This adorable 1-year-old, 45-lb girl has been with us since February with sadly no interest. 😢
Shelter life is hard on her, and it’s taking a toll. Like so many dogs, Claire doesn’t want to be in this stressful environment—and it shows in her kennel. But take her outside, and you’ll see a completely different dog! 🐕✨

Claire is smart, sweet, and full of potential! She’s just waiting for the right, dog-savvy person to give her a chance. With a little patience and training, Claire will blossom into the perfect companion.

We’re calling on all our amazing supporters to help us find Claire the loving home she deserves. If you’re energetic and experienced with dogs, Claire could be your perfect match! 💖

Claire qualifies for our Clear the Shelters program and has a reduced adoption fee to approved applicants.

Please share to help Claire find her forever home! 🙏

This gorgeous 1-year-old tortoiseshell kitty is new to the shelter and just starting to settle in.She came to us from an overcrowded NJ shelter.

Could you be her perfect match? 😻

Come meet Magnolia and see if she's the kitty for you! 💕

The lovely lady Lily is living her best life! She has found all the comfy places in the house and sleeps away in the afternoon. She had a good report from the Vet and all is well. Lily and I are pretty well acquainted now and she taps me on my hand with her paw when she wants to be pet!
Best cat ever! Thank you.

08/22/2024

Missy is a beautiful 1-2-year-old hound with a love for adventure and following her nose wherever it takes her! This 50 lb, high-energy girl was picked up running loose and was most likely a dumped hunting dog. But despite her past, Missy is ready to start fresh with a loving family.

She’s dog-friendly and eager to play but needs a cat-free home. Missy would thrive in an active household that enjoys outdoor fun and has a fenced yard to give her the space she needs to explore safely. Like many of these hounds, she will need a little time and patience to get adjusted to a home, she was most likely kept outdoors as many hunting dogs sadly are.

If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion, Missy could be the perfect fit! 🐕💚
