Meet Minnie🍯

This 4-year-old sweetheart has mastered the art of making everyone she meets feel special. Whether it’s wagging her tail, giving kisses, or curling up next to you for some quality snuggle time, Minnie’s gentle and loving nature shines. Minnie would love to be your one and only, as she prefers a home where she can soak up all the love as the only pet and “child.”

Meet Dancer💓

When Dancer arrived at our shelter, she was facing a tough battle: a severely broken jaw. Thanks to our incredible veterinary team and a loving foster home, she’s now on the other side of recovery. Dancer may be a little shy at first, but her sweet and affectionate personality shines through once she feels safe. With patience and love, she’ll be your most loyal companion.

Could you be the one to give Dancer her happily ever after?

The Story of Cindy Lou Who💭

🎄 T’was the week before Christmas, and on the street,
A little kitty was found, oh so sweet.
💔 Her leg was broken, her future unclear,
But she purred and cuddled, spreading holiday cheer.

Cindy Lou Who was found as a stray with a severely injured leg. Despite her pain, she never stopped showing her sweet and loving personality. Our team was unsure if her leg could be saved, but thanks to the care and expertise of our veterinary partners, she underwent a costly surgery to repair it.

Now recovering in a foster home, Cindy Lou Who is on her way to a brighter future—all thanks to supporters like you and our Angel Fund program.

Your donation to the Angel Fund this holiday season can give animals like Cindy Lou Who the second chance they deserve.
