Meet our Pets of the Week!
🐶 Kiara is a 3-year-old girl with a big, lovable personality who may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once she does, her sweet, goofy, high-energy charm shines through and she becomes an incredibly loyal, rewarding companion for someone who appreciates a lot of dog in the best way.
😺 Aspen is a 3-year-old orange tabby with a sweet, affectionate nature and playful curiosity, balancing fun adventures and cozy cuddles as she hopes for a loving home where she can feel safe, adored, and bring endless joy and purrs.

Meet Vicky! She is a 2.5-year-old, 45-pound mixed breed with a heart full of love and an adorable wiggle butt that appears when she feels safe. She’s people-selective and prefers women, and would shine brightest in a calm, adult-only home where she can be the center of attention and enjoy a peaceful, predictable routine. With patience and understanding, Vicky will reward her committed family with loyal companionship, gentle affection, and lots of happy tail wags.
