🐾 Pets of the Week: Meet Pepper & Jax! 🐱🐶

✨ Pepper is a beautiful 7-year-old cat with a sweet, gentle soul and a curious nature that makes her endlessly endearing. 💕 She’s ready for a calm, loving home where she can settle in, explore at her own pace, and be adored for the wonderful companion she is. As a senior sweetheart, Pepper qualifies for our Silver Paws VIP program — and right now, her adoption fee is waived during our adoption special for cats 5 months and older! 🏡

✨ Jax is a 7-year-old terrier mix with a heart as big as his 68-pound body (and yes, he’s working on trimming down!). 💛 This mellow boy is a total couch potato who loves snuggles, nap time, and simply being by your side. He’s easy on the leash, great with kids, and the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal lounge buddy. Jax also qualifies for our Silver Paws VIP program, which waives the adoption fee and provides free veterinary care through our wellness clinic for adopters 65 and older.

Both Pepper and Jax are eligible for our current adoption event, where fees are waived for adult dogs (25 lbs+) and cats 5 months and older! It’s the perfect time to meet your new best friend. 💕

What a difference a day makes. 💙

Yesterday, we weren’t sure she’d pull through; today, she’s climbing her cage and purring like the happiest little kitten in the world. 🐾✨

Thanks to our incredible veterinary team, led by Dr. Alana Cannup, this brave girl got her second chance. She’s making the most of it, one paw knead at a time. 💕
