🐾 Urgent: Help Us Find Homes for Our Dogs 🐾

Our shelter is overflowing with love—love that comes in all shapes, sizes, and wagging tails. Right now, we have so many wonderful dogs waiting for their chance at a forever home.

These sweet souls have been through so much already. Many were abandoned, left behind by the very people they trusted. Now, they’re here with us, hoping to find someone who will never let them go again.

From tiny pups to wise old souls, playful bundles of energy to gentle, quiet companions, we have a dog to match every heart and home. Each one of them is unique, with their own story, personality, and so much love to give.

But as much as we love them, what they really need is a family of their own. A place where they can finally feel safe, cherished, and truly at home.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry friend to your life, now is the time. Please consider opening your heart and home to one of these deserving dogs. They’re not just looking for a place to stay—they’re looking for someone to love them unconditionally and forever.

Come meet them today, and let’s make sure every one of these precious pups finds the forever home they deserve. 🏡❤️

Meet Gnarly and Thelma, two independent felines looking for their forever homes. If you appreciate a cat with a strong personality who prefers to do their own thing, one of these unique kitties might be your perfect match!

🐾Thelma
Age: 6 years old
Gender: Spayed Female
Current Situation: In foster care by herself
Has Been Looking for a Home for: 127 days
Personality: Thelma is an independent lady who values her space and enjoys observing the world from a distance. She would probably prefer to be an only cat in a quiet home where she can relax and feel safe.

🐾Gnarly
Age: 6 years old
Gender: Neutered Male
Current Situation: In the shelter, housed with another cat
Has Been Looking for a Home for: 91 days
Personality: Gnarly is a laid-back guy who is okay with sharing his space with another cat, but he also wouldn't mind being adopted on his own. He’s not one for cuddles but appreciates a calm environment where he can be himself.

Both Gnarly and Thelma have a "cranky" charm that cat lovers will appreciate. They may not seek out pets or cuddles, but they still need loving homes where their boundaries will be respected. If you're willing to give them the time and space they need, you'll find that even cranky cats can bring joy and companionship into your life.

Interested in adopting Thelma or Gnarly?

Stop by our shelter or contact us to learn more about these unique kitties. Remember, Cranky Cats Need Love Too! 💕
