This little one is the perfect blend of curious and sweet, with a heart full of love and a spirit that’s sure to brighten any day.

With a little time, patience, and lots of love, Nessa is destined to grow into an incredible companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving friend, Nessa is waiting to steal your heart! Don’t miss the chance to meet her!

Meet Charlie, our high energy Toy Poodle! 🐩💕🥹

Charlie is an energetic and playful pup who loves nothing more than chasing toys and burning off his seemingly boundless energy! Whether it's fetching a ball, zooming around the yard, or just having fun with his favorite people, Charlie is always ready for fun!

Charlie's ideal home would be with an active family who enjoys outdoor activities and is ready to give him the exercise and attention he craves. He would thrive in a home with no children under 15, where he can play and interact with older kids who can match his enthusiasm. A fenced yard would also be useful, so Charlie can safely run and play to his heart's content, and he would also love a family who enjoys taking him on plenty of walks to explore new places.

With his playful spirit and affectionate nature, Charlie is sure to be a loyal and loving companion for the right family. If you're looking for a fun, energetic pup to join your active lifestyle, Charlie is the perfect match!

Charlie's adoption fee includes his neuter, microchip, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm test (if over 9 months old), and kept up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

If you are interested in adopting Charlie, you may fill out an application at www.tlchs.org or you are welcome to make a Match Making appointment to come out and meet him first. We are open Tuesday – Sunday 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! 🎄🎁🔔

While things have been a bit slower recently, we've been using the time to give some extra love and attention to our Flower Litter: Lotus, Juniper, and Aster. Today, we’d like to shine the spotlight on the incredibly handsome Lotus.

Lotus is a laid-back, easygoing kitten who loves nothing more than lounging on his favorite cat tree, keeping a watchful eye on the world around him with his bright, curious eyes. When he’s not in relaxation mode, Lotus is all about playtime—his favorite toys are the ones that make noise or move. With a perfect balance of calm affection and playful energy, Lotus is the ideal companion for anyone looking for a sweet, charming, and fun-loving feline friend.

Lotus' adoption fee covers everything you need to bring him home, including his neuter, microchip, Rabies vaccine, 2 FVRCP vaccines, FIV/FeLV combo test, and up-to-date flea and tick preventative.

If you’re interested in adopting Lotus, you can fill out an application online at www.tlchs.org, or schedule a Match Making appointment to meet him in person! We’re open Tuesday through Sunday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Come meet Lotus and see for yourself how this sweet boy can add a little extra joy to your life!

Henge has found her forever home! 🎄🎁🏡

This marks yet another heartwarming adoption in a month brimming with joyful new beginnings. As we bid farewell to the last of the Pirates of the Caribbean litter, we can't help but feel a special kind of magic—like a Christmas miracle—because this one almost didn't happen at all. Henge's new family had originally come to meet a completely different cat, but when they met Henge, the connection was instant. It was clear to everyone that this was meant to be.

Merry Christmas, sweet Henge! May your journey with your new family be filled with love and happiness.

Exciting News: Pongo Has Found His Forever Home! 🏡💕🐾

We’re thrilled to share that the beautiful Pongo has finally found his forever family! It’s incredible how life works — over a year ago, Pongo’s doggie-day-out buddy, who had since graduated and moved over two hours away, happened to spot Pongo’s adoption listing on our website. They saw that he was available again and knew, without a doubt, it was meant to be.

It truly feels like fate brought them back together. And as you can see from these heartwarming photos, we have no doubt that this is the start of a lasting love story. From now on, we’ll be following Pongo's journey through updates and pictures with his wonderful new family.

Pongo has always been the definition of a good boy, and we know he’s going to live his best life. We’ll miss you, sweet Pongo, but we couldn’t be happier for you!

Meet Prancer! ⛄🎁🦌

When we first met Holly, we felt incredibly lucky to have had the chance to know her, even if it was for a short time. Now, we’re fortunate to have her brother, Prancer, with us! While they share an unmistakable resemblance, their personalities couldn’t be more different. Holly was the graceful, princess-like soul, while Prancer is the adventurous, action-packed hero of the story.

Full of energy, playfulness, and fun, Prancer is the kind of dog who’ll have you smitten the moment you meet him. He’s not only ready to play at a moment’s notice, but he’s also incredibly sweet, with a love for everyone—whether they have two legs or four. You truly can’t go wrong with Prancer!

Prancer's adoption fee includes his neuter, microchip, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm test (if over 9 months old), and kept up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

If you are interested in adopting Prancer, you may fill out an application at www.tlchs.org or you are welcome to make a Match Making appointment to come out and meet him/her first. We are open Tuesday – Sunday 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

Holly has found her forever home! 🎁💥🥹

When Holly first came to us, it was clear she was a truly special soul. She was scared of everyone she met, and we knew it would take a patient, understanding person to see her potential and give her the love and time she needed. When her adopter returned three times in one week just to sit quietly with her for hours, we knew she had found her person.

We couldn’t be happier for both of you and are so excited to hear all the stories of Holly’s progress. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and joy, sweet girl!

Lulu has found her forever home (finally!) ✨💥✨

While we always hope our animals find their forever homes quickly, there are always a few who stay longer than expected—not because they aren't special, but because they take their time finding the perfect match. Lulu is the perfect example of this. She’s a delightful, quirky, and lovable girl, and we wouldn’t change a thing about her.

Watching Lulu learn to trust people and discover the joy of play has been such a rewarding experience. We're thrilled that she finally found her forever home last week and can’t wait to hear more about her continued journey of growth and happiness!
