📬 A Love Letter from Ziggy

Dear Future Family,

It’s me, Ziggy—your future cat and current queen of tortitude. I’ve been waiting for you here at SEMOPets since July, and with the new year rolling in, I’ve made a resolution: to finally find my purr-ever home.

I know what you’re thinking: why haven’t we crossed paths yet? Maybe you were busy, or maybe the stars just didn’t align. But I’m here, ready and waiting, with my signature sass and a heart full of love to share (on my terms, of course).

Here’s the deal: I adore head scratches and cozy snuggle sessions when the mood strikes me. I’m a big fan of playtime, sunny windows, and owning my space like the confident, independent gal I am. But let’s be honest—my personality is as colorful as my coat, and I can get overstimulated at times. So, I’d prefer a home without young kids where I can be the center of attention (because, obviously, I deserve it).

If you’re looking for a smart, spunky, and affectionate companion with a touch of sass, I’m your girl. Let’s make 2025 the year we both find the love we deserve.

Love,
Ziggy 💌🐾

P.S. Why not come meet me in person? I’ll be here practicing my best “adopt me” eyes and perfect head tilt. Let’s make magic happen! ✨🐈

These two darling pups are here to steal your heart!❤️ Molly and Peaches are 1 year old southern sweethearts who were surrendered to SEMOPets just before Christmas. While they came to us as a pair, they’re not required to go home together- though we don’t blame you for wanting double the love! 🥰🐕

✨Molly (the darker tan of the pair) is 1 year old and weighs 16 pounds

✨Peaches (she has the white on her face) is also 1 year old and weighs 14 pounds

These girls are as warm and welcoming as a southern breeze, and their tails wag like they’re waving hello to everyone they meet. Whether you’re looking for a solo pup or want to scoop up a pair of best friends, Molly and Peaches are ready to bring a slice of joy into your home! 🥧

💌 Swing by SEMOPets during our open hours and let’s find these sweeties their forever homes!

When Hazelnut came to us in December with her seven little espresso shots (a.k.a. her puppies—who’ve all found loving homes! 🐶🎉), she melted our hearts instantly. Now this sweet, soulful mama is ready for her turn to shine.

At 7 years old and a sturdy 84 pounds, Hazelnut is the ultimate blend of strength and softness. 💪💖 She’s the kind of dog who’s always there for you—whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon nap, or a cozy night in. 🌅✨ While she’s friendly with some dogs, she’d like a proper “coffee date” ☕🐕 to ensure any potential roommates are a good match.

Hazelnut’s personality is as rich as her name. She’s loyal, loving, and just waiting for someone to see her for the gem she is. 💎🐾 If you’re looking for a dog who will make every day feel a little warmer, Hazelnut is brewing up her forever home, and it could be with you!

01/03/2025

Treat our pups to a day of pampering! ✨ On Monday, January 20th, starting at 10 AM, we’re turning the adoption building into a doggy spa—and we need your help!

Every dog deserves to feel fresh and fabulous while waiting for their forever home. 🐕💖 Help us accomplish our goal of giving each furry friend a soothing bath, complete with bubbles, scrubs, and wagging tails!

At SEMOPets, we believe that every day should be enriching for our furry friends. That’s why we focus on in-kennel enrichment—fun activities like puzzle toys, scent work, and interactive play that keep our dogs’ brains active and happy. These engaging activities help them stay mentally stimulated, reduce stress, and bring out their unique personalities while they wait for their forever families.

Enrichment isn’t just about passing the time; it’s about giving each dog the chance to shine. A happy, engaged pup is more confident, relaxed, and ready to make a lasting connection with their future adopter. Check out this video to see how our enrichment program makes a difference every single day! 💕

Here’s to another year of love, wagging tails, and happy adoptions! See you in the new year! 🎆

This 11-month-old, 48-pound contender came to SEMOPets as a stray back in mid-November, and now he’s ready to fight his way into your heart and his forever home! 🏠❤️

💥 Tyson is a high-energy pup who’s always in training mode—he needs an active family that’s ready to work both his body 💪 and his brain 🧠. Whether it’s a long jog 🏃‍♀️, a game of fetch 🎾, or learning new tricks 🐕‍🎓, Tyson is always up for the challenge!

🐶 Tyson has done well with dogs here at SEMOPets but can be a little picky with his sparring partners 🥋🐾. He’d love to meet any potential canine siblings before stepping into the family arena!

Are you ready to give Tyson his championship belt 🏆 (aka a loving home)? Swing by SEMOPets to meet him and see if he’s the perfect match for your team! ✨

We asked Bandit, one of our sweetest senior kitties, to write a letter to her future forever family. She told us exactly what to say, and we helped her transcribe it. Here’s what she had to share:

Dear Future Family,

My name’s Bandit 🖤🐾, and I have a confession to make: I’m here to steal your heart! Don’t worry, though—my crimes are strictly of the adorable variety.

I’m 8 years young, and my journey to SEMOPets started when I wandered onto a kind human’s property and decided to stick around. (What can I say? I’ve got an eye for good company!) Now, I’m hoping to find my forever home where I can settle in and be your new best friend.

I’m a simple gal who enjoys the finer things in life:
✨ Lounging in my cozy cat bed
✨ Soaking up some sunshine ☀️
✨ And most importantly, head scratches! 😻

If you’re a fan of quiet evenings, cozy cuddles, and a little sidekick who will love you unconditionally, I’m your girl. I may be a senior, but I’ve got plenty of love left to give—and trust me, I’m the purr-fect companion for a calm and cozy home.

Are you ready to have your heart stolen? 🏴‍☠️💖 Stop by SEMOPets and come meet me—I’ll be waiting with my sweetest purrs and my softest fur.

With love (and a little mischief),
Bandit 🖤🐾

Say hello to Aster, a 1-year-old, 53-pound ray of sunshine who has a heart as big as a garden in full bloom. Aster joined us at the end of November with a bouquet of love—her NINE adorable puppies, all named after bugs (because they’re as cute as can bee 🐝). Some of her little “love bugs” are still waiting for their forever homes too, but now it’s Aster’s turn to shine!

This gentle flower loves to be surrounded by other dogs and is a natural socialite who hasn’t met a human stranger. She’s a sweet daisy with a warm personality, always ready to brighten someone’s day with her joyful energy and loving snuggles. Aster’s the kind of dog who will turn any house into a home and every walk into a garden adventure.

🌼 Could Aster be the missing piece of your family’s bouquet? Or maybe one of her “buggy” babies is the perfect addition to your garden of love? Come meet them and let their sweet spirits bloom in your heart!

Rub-a-dub-dub, Sadie’s in the tub! 🫧

Get ready to take notes during "Sadie's Guide to a Good Bath" 🛁 Sadie (almost 6 years old and 52 pounds of pure charm) has the best step-by-step guide to the perfect bath! 🧼✨ From getting into the tub to enjoying a good scrub, Sadie's got all the moves- and of course, she's got a few "Sadie's tips" along the way to make sure the bath is a breeze. 😊🐶

Sadie is a sweet, playful girl who's good with other dogs and kids, though she'd prefer a cat-free home. She's looking for a loving family who can appreciate her fun-loving personality and her occasional bath time wisdom. 🫧

🍬✨SUGAR ALERT! Meet Gumdrop- the sweetest kitten you'll ever meet, and she's ready to be your forever treat! 🍭💖

This candy-loving cutie came to SEMOPets in early December after an eye injury, but with the help of our amazing medical team, she's back to her sugar-sweet self! Our vet decided to remove her injured eye, and now Gumdrop is sparkling like a fresh batch of holiday candy! ✨ She's been recovering like a champ and is now ready to melt your heart!

Gumdrop is 8 months old, and let us tell you- she's got sugar and spice in all the right ways! 🧁 She's confident, talkative, and LOVES snacks (seriously, she's like a candy connoisseur). Whether it's cuddles or treats, this girl is ready to be your sweet sidekick. She's also a big fan of being held and snuggled, making her the ultimate candy coated cuddle bug! 🍫💕

Her personality is as bright and cheerful as a rainbow of gummy bears, and once you meet her, you'll know she's the sweetest thing to ever happen to your home. 🍒🏠
