Meet Eleven! This sweet girl is the ultimate love bug! Her favorite place is right by your side (or directly in your lap).
When she isn't busy stealing hearts, she’s busy playing! She loves her toys and gets along with other dogs. She’s doing a great job learning all her puppy manners and basic skills. Sweet, playful, and loyal—she’s the whole package!

We're not sure what her mix is, we're assuming she will be medium size when full grown.

Andy Dandy will be joining our dogs adoption event Saturday at Pet Supplies Plus! Come meet him and many of our other pups!
Andy is a 4 year old lab mix and a big couch potato. He's a shy boy at first and enjoys a quieter home where he can adjust at his own pace. Andy loves the outdoors and enjoys basking in the sun or going for a leisurely stroll. His ideal home would have no little children and either no dogs or calm dogs like him.
Andy's a simple boy: binge watching TV, a few naps throughout the day, and a little fresh air is all he needs!

☕️ What goes well with a cup of coffee? A Pizzelle!
Come meet Pizzelle Saturday at our adoption event at Screaming Bean!
Pizzelle is a 1 year old beauty who did an incredible job as a young mom, raising her babies with care and devotion. Now that her kittens are all set, it’s finally her turn to be loved and spoiled in a forever home.

This sweet girl is truly blossoming in foster care. Pizzelle loves being close to her people and will happily follow you from room to room hoping for attention. Sit down on the floor, and she’s right there in your lap, soaking up all the affection. She enjoys laying with her humans and often sleeps with her foster most nights, making her a wonderful bedtime companion.

Pizzelle is curious and inquisitive, always interested in what you’re doing and eager to be part of the action. She does well with other cats, though she may give a few growls at first while she adjusts — just her way of setting boundaries as she settles in. She has also gotten comfortable with dogs in her foster home and has grown used to barking, showing how adaptable she can be.

Because she can be a little unsure in new situations at first, Pizzelle will thrive with a patient, understanding adopter who can give her time to feel safe. Once she does, her affectionate, lap-loving personality truly shines!

Pizzelle says see you in the morning!!

Meet Joyce Saturday at Pet Supplies Plus 🐾
Joyce is a 4 month old mixed breed sweetheart who’s ready to find her forever home. She’s expected to be a medium-sized girl when fully grown and has the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and gentle charm.
Joyce loves to play and have fun, but she can be a little shy at first. With a bit of patience and love, she warms up quickly and shows her sweet, affectionate personality. She does well with other dogs and has been great with kids, making her a wonderful fit for a family home.
She’s crate trained and is continuing to learn her potty training skills—she’s a smart girl and making great progress! Joyce would thrive in a home that will keep up with her training and give her plenty of love as she grows.
If you’re looking for a loving, playful pup to grow up with your family, Joyce could be the perfect match 💕

🐾 FOSTERS NEEDED — DOGS & CATS 🐾
When we don’t have foster homes, we can’t say yes to the next dog or cat in need. And right now, animals are waiting— counting on us to help them find safety.
Fostering is temporary, but the impact is forever.
You provide a safe place. We provide the supplies, medical care, and support.

🐶 Dogs of all ages
🐱 Cats and kittens
❤️ No experience required
💲 No expense to you

Fostering is also a phenomenal way to "test" out if your family is ready for a pet commitment, or to see if your current pets will adjust to another pet. It teaches kids responsibility and compassion for animals. Really, its a win win for everyone! 😏

Apply to foster today and help us save more lives in 2026!

Meet the sweetest boy in the smallest package! RJ is just about 5 lbs and 3 years old. He has been a perfect angel for his foster family and is ready to make his next home forever. He has done well with other dogs and cats too. Due to his teeny size, we prefer his family to have older children only

🍪 Meet the Cookie Crew! 🍪

This sweet, spunky girl gang is officially available for adoption!

✨ Pizzelle (1yo torti) – The loving mama who’s done raising babies and is now all about being the baby. A total lap cat who follows you everywhere, sleeps with her humans most nights, and wants nothing more than affection and companionship.

✨ Crinkle (2.5mo b/w) – Spunky, playful, and always on the move. She loves tumble-play with her sisters and exploring every corner. Once she’s tired herself out, she’s happy to curl up in your lap for a snuggle.

✨ Speculoos (2.5mo tabby) – Named for her adorable little nose, Spec is thoughtful and reserved at first but always curious. She’s often the first to greet you by rubbing against your legs and enjoys affection on her own terms.

✨ Gingerbread (2.5mo dilute calico) – The sassiest cookie in the jar! She has a big personality, isn’t shy about protecting her toys, and will keep you laughing. Once she warms up, she’s a lap-loving sweetheart who even tolerates being carried around by kids.

Whether you’re looking for a playful kitten, a confident cuddlebug, or a loving adult cat, this cookie crew has something for everyone.

Meet them at our Kitty Palooza event at Screaming Bean Saturday (unless they are adopted first 🤣)
