Chloe is an 8½-month-old brown tabby girl with the cutest baby face and the gentlest soul. She’s friendly with people and allows being held—especially once she knows she’s safe with you. 🥰

Her absolute favorite thing in the world? Wet food. 🍽️ Chloe came to us underweight, but with steady care (and lots of meals she happily reminds us about), she’s gaining weight quickly and truly thriving.

Chloe would do well in a home with other cats or dogs, with proper introductions. She’s a soft, sweet companion who’s ready to trade shelter life for cozy naps, full bowls, and a forever family.

Rose is a happy, social girl who’s ready to steal hearts at our adoption event tomorrow! At just 1 year old, she’s got that perfect mix of playful puppy energy and growing maturity.
Rose loves other dogs and truly enjoys playtime. She’s the kind of pup who dives into fun with her whole heart and occasionally misses subtle doggy “I need a break” cues, so her ideal dog friends are patient, tolerant pals who don’t mind reminding her when it’s time to pause.
She’s already got some great manners under her belt: crate trained and potty trained ✔️ And she’s done wonderfully with the kids she’s met so far, making her a great candidate for a family home.
📍 Meet Rose in person!
🗓 Saturday Jan 3
⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Straight out of Hawkins… meet Mike & Eleven! 🚲🧇

This 6-month-old sibling duo is ready to flip your world upside-down (in the best way).

Mike is the brave leader — outgoing, affectionate, and always the first to seek you out. He loves attention, enjoys being held, and turns on the purrs instantly.

Eleven is the gentle powerhouse. She takes a minute to warm up, but once she does (especially with Mike by her side), she’s sweet, snuggly, and full of quiet confidence. She loves following her brother’s lead and discovering the world at her own pace.

Both kittens:
✔️ Love being held
✔️ Purr like little Demogorgons
✔️ Are extremely tolerant and gentle
✔️ Do well with cats and dogs with proper introductions

Say hello to Bloom and Bruce, two 4 month old puppies who look like they just stepped out of a 1999 family portrait session at JCPenny. They’re striking poses, tilting their heads thoughtfully, and asking the big questions like: “Is this my forever home?”
👉 Important note: Bloom and Bruce are looking for separate homes, but they’re both equally ready to steal hearts.
🌸 Bloom
Bloom is giving “sweet but sassy sibling” energy. She’s playful, curious, and always down for puppy adventures. She loves people, does great with kids and other dogs, and is mastering the art of being adorable 24/7. Potty training? She’s working on it — Rome wasn’t built in a day, okay?
🐾 Bruce
Bruce is serving “handsome leading man” with a side of goofball. He’s confident, playful, and affectionate, with just enough puppy chaos to keep life interesting. Bruce also does well with dogs and kids, he loves laying in front of the fireplace, and like any true puppy model, he’s still polishing his potty-training skills between photo shoots.

So if you’re ready to add a little studio-lit puppy magic to your life, come meet Bloom and Bruce this Saturday. Warning: you will fall in love

Meet Spritz at our adoption event Saturday morning at X Golf! Spritz is an almost 3-month-old grey tabby girl with a big personality and even bigger energy! This playful kitten is always on the move and absolutely loves toys of all kinds—wand toys, balls, crinkly things… if it’s made for play, Spritz is in.
She’s a friendly little lady and is comfortable being picked up, though she’s not a lap cat just yet. Spritz is very content doing her own thing—whether that’s zooming around the room, batting at toys, or lounging in her favorite cat bed to recharge.
Spritz gets along well with other cats and would enjoy a feline friend to play with. She’s still a bit unsure about dogs, but with slow, proper introductions, she’ll likely adjust just fine.
If you’re looking for an independent, fun-loving kitten who will keep you smiling with her antics and grow into a wonderful companion, Spritz might be your perfect match 💛

Looking to get your dog a best friend without the full commitment of a second dog? 👀
Enter: Juicy Fruit.

Juicy Fruit is a 5.5-month-old kitten who prefers the company of dogs over cats. Honestly… we think he might believe he is a dog. He’ll happily follow you (and your pup) around the house, curl up in bed with you at night, be right in the middle of whatever’s going on... he even sploots!

He’s super friendly, sweet, outgoing, and very chatty, and he does especially well with large dogs. If your dog could use a playful, affectionate sidekick, Juicy Fruit might be the perfect match.

Dog-approved. Bed-sharing certified.

🩵Thankful Thursday!🩵
We were lucky to meet Sam and Cheryl when they adopted Georgie from us last year. After adopting, they decided to volunteer with us and then started fostering as well! They attend many of our events and we are so appreciative of their support!

"Hey there! Sam, Cheryl, and Georgie here!❤️ We foster small adult dogs — partly because condo life sets the size limit, and partly because we’ve discovered these “fun-sized” pups have the biggest hearts.

We started fostering about six months ago, after adopting Georgie through this rescue. That experience changed our lives, and fostering became our way of paying that forward.

Fostering has brought so much purpose and joy into our home. We’ve watched scared or unsure dogs slowly bloom — discovering safety, confidence, and love again. And the best surprise? It’s helped Georgie grow, too. He loves showing each newcomer how to dog — where the treats are, the best sun spot on the couch, and the quickest way to get belly rubs. 😌

There is nothing like seeing a dog who was once overlooked finally find the person who was meant for them.

And if you’re thinking about fostering:
Never be afraid to try — and never be afraid to reach out for help. You’re not supposed to do this alone. This rescue community will show up for you, every time."
