Adopt Taco

Taco is almost 2 years old and has been with us for, well, a very long time. He's watched countless friends come and go from his foster and home and wonders, is it ever going to be my turn?

Taco loves hiking. Then velcros himself to your side on the sofa. He likes to collect sticks. He has the absolute cutest little "a-roo" chat with you when he's happy. His feet do a tap dance when it's time to eat. Taco likes to play "dog tag" with his friends in the yard.

Taco does best with a slow, steady introduction to new dogs. He crates well and is kid friendly. He's really the best boy and it would make our Hero hearts so happy to see him join a family for the holidays.

Apply today to make our extra special Taco the best part of your day 🥰

He crates well and does a good job with house training.

Maverick enjoys soft toys to throw, collecting sticks from outside, and verifying his foster mom is nearby.

🎄🐾 Dear Santa, It’s Me, Ziti! 🐾🎅

Hi Santa, it’s Ziti here—your friendly, fluffy tuxedo cat! 🎀 I’ve been such a good girl this year, but I still haven’t found my forever home. 😿 It’s been 200 days of waiting, and my Christmas wish is a furever home for the holidays!

Here’s a little about me, just in case someone out there is looking for the purr-fect cat:

💤 I’m super laid back—my hobbies include napping, lounging in the sun, and looking cute.
🛠️ I’m low-maintenance, too. I don’t ask for much, just love, chin scratches... and yummy food!
🐱 I’m friendly with other cats
🐾 I still enjoy playtime—chasing string or batting toys around is my jam!

Santa, all I want this year is a cozy home where I can be loved and give love in return. Could you help me find my forever family? Maybe you can share my letter with someone who has room in their heart and home for a sweet tuxedo like me.

Love,
✨Ziti✨

P.S. If you bring me a home, I promise to leave cookies and milk under the tree for you. 🎅💕

As our longest term cat, Ziti's adoption fee is partially sponsored, so apply to adopt this sweet girl today! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat

Miss Ivy got a new toy and she's not sure what to think about it 🤣 Ivy is a 1.5 year old pittie girl who weighs about 50 pounds. She is spunky and energetic and loves to play fetch with a ball. As well as she runs and gets around, you wouldn't even notice that she's actually missing a back foot. It doesn't slow her down at all! We would love Ivy to have a fenced yard so she can play and get her zoomies out. She is crate trained and good with other dogs but doesn't love cats. She is potty trained and the sweetest girl who just loves pets and attention! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Dog
