*Kittens have been transferred to another rescue*

Penny, Frankie, Sprout and Monkey want nothing more than to meet their perfect families who will provide them with a lifetime of love, care, and snuggles.

While none of them are bonded, it’s always a good idea to adopt them in pairs! That way they always have someone to play and grow up with.

Stop in tomorrow between 3-5pm to meet these sweet little ones.💕🐱

🏡Sweet senior Millie is still in search of her forever home!

This 10 year old lab is loving life with her foster, but she longs for a permanent place where she can live out her golden years. Millie has some lifestyle guidelines, like keeping up with her weight loss routine, and medications to help her as she’s aging.

💕Despite it all, she has so much love left to give and is hoping to find a family who will cherish her as much as she will cherish them. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a sweet senior like Millie, she'll repay you with unconditional love and loyalty for the rest of her days.

We know Millie gets along with cats, but will a meet and greet with other dogs. 🐶

*Lana has been transferred to another shelter*

Lana is still hanging out at our shelter, waiting to catch her forever family’s eye!🐱

She is around 3 and a half years old, loves to play and is affectionate (on her own terms). She embraces every part of her “tortie” attitude, and has quite the personality!

She prefers to be the only cat in a home, and would do best with older kids.

Stop into our shelter to see if Lana would be the purrfect fit for you!💕🐾

🐾These little troopers are *almost* ready to go off into their new homes! (**please see special needs for these guys at the end of the post**)

Monkey, Frankie, Penny and Sprout all had a rough start in life. Born in the outdoor elements, they were taken in to be cared for by a kind human, who reached out to us for assistance.

All 4 babies were suffering from severe upper respiratory infections, and conjunctivitis, that has unfortunately, caused what we believe will be some permanent vision damage to a few of them.

💕Despite their initial challenges, these resilient kittens have made incredible progress in their recovery and are eagerly awaiting the chance to bring joy and companionship to their forever families.🐱

**All 4 kittens could have some health issues due to their circumstances they were born into. Penny is believed to be blind, or very vision impaired, and Sprout’s right eye is also compromised.

Lana has been doing a wonderful job as our office manager, but she is ready to leave the business world behind and dedicate herself to being your faithful companion and source of joy.💻💕

Lana is around 3 years old and would prefer to be the only pet in your home, although she may get along with a cat friendly dog. Children in the home should be 10 or older.

Stop by during our open hours to meet Lana.🐱

🏡Being in foster care has been a blessing for Millie, but what she truly longs for is a place to call her own. A forever cozy spot by the couch, a soft bed to rest her weary bones, and, most importantly, a family to shower her with love in her golden years.💕

Like many seniors, Millie has her own set of health needs. She requires regular medications to keep her feeling her best, and a regulated diet to help her shed some weight, but don't let that deter you; Millie is vibrant and lovely as ever!🐾

We know Millie does well with cats, unsure about other dogs, and children in the home should be older, considering her multiple health needs.

*Contact us if you are interested in finding out more about Millie, and to set up a time to meet her!🐶

We 🧡 adoption updates!🐱

Paddington was a shy guy, who loved affection, but did not want to come out of his covered bed while at the shelter.

After being adopted recently, Paddy realized now he had no reason to hide, and is happily sharing his home with his newly acquired “brother” and cat dad.🏡🐾

Congratulations, Paddington!

Sable and Sofia are 2 black Goldendoodle puppies in search of patient and caring families!

At around 5 months old, these girls are incredibly sweet, though they'll require guidance in gaining confidence, basic obedience and getting acquainted with the concept of leash walking. While they may be hesitant to embrace their “inner dog” when it comes to the outdoors, they thrive on cuddles and affection, happily spending hours on your lap showering you with love!

Stop by during our open hours to meet these lovely little ladies.🐾🤍

“Trying to keep these seniors from being overwhelmed at a shelter

I am reaching out to pick your brain to see if you might know someone that would be willing to help a set of 12/15 year old coonhound mixes find a new home after their parents passed in a tragic car accident earlier this month. They love people other dogs and each other. They do not like cats.”

At 10 and a half years young, Millie is embarking on a weight loss adventure, determined to strut her stuff and wag her tail with even more enthusiasm. This lovable lady does have some medications to keep her feeling her best and a special diet, but that doesn't stop her from being the life of the party!💕

Despite her age, Millie has a zest for life that's infectious, and she's ready to spread joy and love to her forever family.

Paddington is ready to make his debut and find his forever home!🧡

This handsome guy can be a bit shy at first, but with time and patience he blossoms into a super affectionate and loving cat. A quiet home would suit him best, with another cat or mellow dog that could help him warm up to a new environment.

Paddy is between 1-2 years old, current on basic vaccinations and will be getting neutered April 3rd; he will be available to go home after that. If you are interested in meeting this sweet boy, stop in to the shelter during our open hours.🐾🐱

Boo is on a quest for a loving and peaceful home.💕

This sweet little girl is a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, she's an absolute sweetheart. She enjoys quiet moments curled up on a soft blanket, watching the world go by through a sunny window.☀️

🏡Boo's ideal home would be a calm and patient environment where she can gradually come out of her shell and form deep bonds with her humans. She is not quite fond of dogs, but would get along with other friendly cats.

We believe Boo is a little over a year old, and is current on basic vaccinations. She will be spayed before being able to go to her new home.

Stop by during our open hours to meet Boo and see if she could be the perfect new addition to your life🐱🐾
