** Foster Found**

🚨 URGENT: Foster Needed for Bonded Pair 🚨

Meet Sam and Sofie – two sweet pups who have been through a lot and urgently need a safe place to stay. 💔 These bonded friends are coming to us from out of state, and while we weren’t expecting them, we’re committed to helping them find a secure, loving environment.

Since they’re from out of state, Pennsylvania's new regulations require them to quarantine for two weeks in a home separate from other dogs. We’re looking for a foster hero who can welcome them together for just two weeks to give them the care and security they deserve.

🩵 If you can help Sam and Sofie, please reach out to us at [email protected] today! Every share brings us closer to finding these pups a loving foster home.

Our pet of the week is Gracie!

This sweet young lady is ready to be the perfect cat companion! 💖 With her gorgeous grey coat and a small "locket" of white on her chest, she's as unique as she is lovable. 🌟

Gracie’s got youthful energy and loves playing with wand toys and shoelaces! 🎣👟 She’s social and will share her feelings with sweet purrs and chirps. 💬✨ A curious soul, she enjoys exploring, “people watching” (AKA, neighborhood cat watch!) 🕵️‍♀️🐱, and chatting about her day with her favorite human.

This beautiful, loving lady is comfy in her foster home, patiently awaiting her forever home! To meet her, reach out to [email protected] 🏡💕

Meet Sarah, a purrfectly sweet 6-year-old who’s been through a lot, but still has a heart full of love and a pawsitive attitude! After spending her whole life on the streets, she’s ready to leave those rough-and-tumble days behind and settle into a cozy forever home. But there’s just one thing: her poor teeth need some major TLC! 😿

Our vets found fractured teeth and a cat-astrophic amount of plaque, so Sarah needs a special dental procedure ASAP to save her remaining chompers. Without it, she could lose more teeth, leaving her in constant discomfort. She will get treatment as soon as the 11th, but this treatment will cost $900 and $1,500 between and we need your support to be able to make her smile pain-free again!

Every donation to our Lifesaver Fund gets Sarah one step closer to a fresh start and a meowgical happily-ever-after. 💖 Use this post, our Venmo () or our website to donate and help give Sarah the care she deserves. Thank you for being her hero! 🐾

Happy tails, Thundercat! 😍🫶🐈

Recently this handsome guy (formerly known as “Jazz”) celebrated the 5th Anniversary of his adoption from Morris. At the time, he was a scared and shy 3-year-old owner surrender. He had been one of the long-term residents of the shelter, overlooked for many months before I discovered his photo on Morris’s social media feeds.

Although at 8 years old he’s now considered “elderly,” you wouldn’t know it when he gets his daily Zoomies. His favorite activities are playing fetch with tennis balls, snacking on Churu, watching YouTube videos of chipmunks, sharpening his claws on cardboard boxes, and riling up the neighbor’s dogs by stretching out in front of the windows to enjoy the sun

As a current volunteer at Morris, I would ask potential adopters to please consider taking a chance on some of the shelter’s long-term adult and elderly cats, and also any cats struggling in the shelter setting. They only need a little time to decompress and a forever home to show you how great they are! 🥰

Urgent Foster Needed for Billy ‼

Billy is a senior dog with vision and hearing impairments, urgently seeking a dog-savvy, long-term foster to help us evaluate his behavior.

🏡 Foster Requirements:

- Adult-only home preferred
- No other pets (Billy startles easily)
- Patient, experienced handler willing to go slow and follow our team’s guidance

📝 About Billy:

-Has shown some fear-based behaviors like barking or snapping during handling, but has never broken skin.
-Responds well to quiet socialization and positive reinforcement, and has made strides in a calm setting.
-We’ll provide a full training and medication plan tailored for Billy's wellbeing, including a virtual consult with a veterinary behaviorist upon placement.

If you’re interested in fostering Billy and helping him reach his full potential, please reach out to [email protected]!

Great news! Tank was adopted!

The Pet of the Week is Tank! 🐈

T - thoughtful, trusty, timid
A - adorable
N - nonchalant
K - kind and kissable

Look, don't make us spell it out for you - Tank is such a lovely guy! Although his name may evoke images of a big, buff, burly tough guy, Tank doesn't quite fit that description. He is quiet and gentle with tender sensibilities (who doesn't love a sensitive man?!) and a calming, grounding presence. Tank is a little nervous here at the shelter - we think he'd rather be hanging out in a much more peaceful, private setting with a human that he can shower with love! Can you relate? If so, reach out to [email protected] and meet Tank yourself! His adoption fee is even waived this week!

See more pictures of Tank on his adoption profile via the "adopt" page on our website - link always in bio! 🫶

This Caturday, meet Jeanie! 🫶👑

Do you, by chance, happen to be in dire need of being ruled over by a fabulous, prosperous, vivacious Queen? If so, you're in luck! Jeanie (Queenie Jeanie?) is looking for some royal subjects to lovingly serve her. Jeanie may be royalty, but it never gets to her head - she rules with more love and integrity than you could ever ask for. This beautiful lady likes to play hard-to-get at first, but she warms up quickly and will graciously accept head scratches and words of affection. If you'd like to spoil Her Majesty forevermore, reach out to [email protected] to schedule a meet and greet with her foster! 🐈

🐱 Suzume may only be a few months old, but this little kitten has the heart of a lion—and she’s going to need every ounce of it to overcome her recent diagnosis. Upon intake as a stray, our veterinary team discovered Suzume has a high-grade heart murmur. Despite her condition, Suzume is full of purr-sonality, charming everyone she meets with her sweetness, boundless curiosity, and paws-itively adorable gray stripes and white paws. 🐾

💔 Heart murmurs in kittens like Suzume are serious and require extra claws-on medical attention. To get to the heart of her condition, she urgently needs radiographs, an echocardiogram, and possibly a specialized spay. These tests and her specialized surgery are crucial in giving her the best chance at a meow-nificent life. 🌈

However, the journey to wellness for little Suzume doesn’t come cat-cheap. These essential procedures add up to approximately $1,500, which we’re hoping our community can help cover through our Lifesaver fund. 🩺 Every bit of support will help Suzume claw her way to health and bring her closer to finding her purr-fect forever home. 🏠

With your contribution to Suzume’s care, you can give this feline-tastic kitten the chance she deserves to live a full, joyful life. 🌟 Your generosity will make all the difference in her journey toward health and happiness! You can donate using the button below, on our website, or via Venmo (). 🙏❤️
