Meet Augustus! 🐾 This 3 year and 6 month old black cat is the purrfect blend of personality and charm. Don't let his funny ear and silly tongue that sticks out fool you, he's a total sweetheart with a love for life that is simply contagious. 💖
Augustus craves attention and wants nothing more than to be your best pal. He's got a 'love nip' or two to share when you're not paying him enough attention, but if you speak cat, you understand. It's his way of saying 'hey human, I need some love over here!' 😺
Despite his rough edges, Augustus is a true testament to the beauty of , embodying all the care, compassion and love animals in shelters have to give. 🏠
If you've been longing for a feline companion who will shower you with love (and maybe a love nip or two), consider giving Gus his forever home. Perhaps he's the missing piece of your life puzzle. 💕

Meet our lovely lady Cinder! This 4--old spayed Weimaraner is full of energy and life, always ready for adventure. Swimming, long hikes, and beach days are just some of the activities she loves. Did we mention she's a running & car ride enthusiast too? Yet, when the day comes to a close, there's nothing she loves more than to be a couch potato , enjoying some quality time with her human.
Cinder is a social butterfly, her former person said she fine around male, submissive, large, medium, playful, and laid-back dogs. She was surrendered thru no fault of her own, her former person could no longer keep her, but she was much loved.
She's a testament to the busy and friendly traits that Weimaraner's are known for. She's hoping to find a home that matches her vibrant personality and zest for life.
If she sounds like the perfect addition to your family, come by with everyone, including your dog(s), to meet our Cinder. Let's build a compassionate community 🏡 around animal welfare, one adoption at a time.

📣ATTENTION CAT LOVERS!🐈 Meet Makarov, our handsome 4-year-old cat with the most stunning eyes you've ever seen. One blue as the summer sky, the other golden like a sunset, his gaze is sure to mesmerize yo📣ATTENTION CAT LOVERS!🐈 Meet Makarov, our handsome 4-year-old cat with the most stunning eyes you've ever seen. One blue as the summer sky, the other golden like a sunset, his gaze is sure to mesmerize yo . 🌞
Found as a stray, this orphan has blossomed into a charming and engaging cat. He's got a medium-length white fur coat that's so soft; you won't be able to resist stroking it.
Makarov is quite the people cat; he loves spending time with humans. He's also a bit of a nature enthusiast, often found checking out the yard activities from his favorite window spot.
Makarov is OK with his feline friends after a slow intro. His likes and dislikes about dogs remain a mystery due to his stray past.
We suspect he's a lap cat too. So brace yourselves for some cozy cuddle sessions.💕
Makarov is all set to add some warmth, fun, and a lot of love to his forever home. 🏠 Is that yours?
