Meet Seymour & Edna 🐾💫

Seymour is a 6-year-old tuxedo who loves being in the spotlight—confident, curious, and ready to say hello! Edna, an 8-year-old gray beauty, is a little more reserved and sweeter, and Seymour helps her feel brave and bold. Together, they’re a perfectly balanced combo of charm and calm. 😻

🎉 Bonded Pair Alert! These two are best friends and must be adopted together.

Come meet all of our available cats today from 12–6 PM and see if Seymour & Edna are the dynamic duo you’ve been waiting for!

Say hello to Mr. Wonder Bread 🍞

Yes, that is his real name—and yes, he lives up to it. Mr. Wonder Bread is proudly available for adoption and currently shaped more like a loaf than a slice.

This chunky gentleman is looking for a family willing to prioritize his weight-loss journey and help him reach a healthier size (with love, patience, and probably fewer snacks). He’s not offended by the word “diet,” but he is deeply committed to supervising the kitchen at all times.

Come meet Mr. Wonder Bread and all of his friends until 5pm today!

Meet Mildred!

Mildred is a 2-year-old pit bull who is ready for her forever home. She recently spent time with our partners at Clarinda Correctional Facility, where she completed a program focused on manners and basic obedience. Mildred has graduated and is now available for adoption.

She’s ready to start her next chapter with a loving family. If you’re interested in giving Mildred the home she deserves, we are open today from 11am-5pm!

Happy New Year’s Eve!
As the year comes to a close, we want to thank you—our donors, supporters, partners, and adopters—for making this incredible year possible. Because of your generosity, animals in our community received lifesaving medical care, families were supported during challenging times, and countless pets were given the second chances they deserve.

Your compassion and commitment are what make this work possible. As we head into 2026, we do so with strong momentum and deep gratitude—ready to raise the bar, be a voice for the voiceless, and continue bringing hope and healing to the animals and people who need it most. 💙🐾

✨ Reminder: Today is the last day of our Bark Friday Fundraiser! If you haven’t donated yet, there is still time to give today and help us meet our goal. Every gift makes a difference.
