Lucas and Erica are enjoying some much-needed rest after a long week of puppy responsibilities and monitoring snack portals. Turns out saving the neighborhood from mysterious forces is exhausting work, especially when you’re small and powered almost entirely by treats.⁠
⁠
Both are adoptable, even in sleep mode.

This is Brenner and Karl demonstrating distinguished paw etiquette.⁠

Forks? Not for these good boys. They simply stare at the waiter (their foster) until snacks materialize.

Murray has chosen the bed. The bed has chosen Murray. Together they operate as The Softness.⁠
⁠
Encounter him IRL at the Adoption Center this Thursday (12/4) and Friday (12/5) from 2:30–6:30PM, or until someone adopts him. In true Murray fashion, he’ll skip the small talk and clarify that adopting him is the only reasonable outcome. Come by to meet him or just say hi - no hazmat suit required!

Liz’s stats: 10 years old, 14.5 pounds of cotton, one “bridge” which our vet partners at described as “one big slab of tartar covering multiple teeth. Yikes!”

But none of that’s going to stop her. This senior lady is getting a second chance — she is being adopted by her foster! Thank you for making Liz’s golden years so cushy.

We broke Liz out of the shelter at just a little more than two weeks ago, and she’s just one of 409 dogs we’ve saved this year. 💙

It's Giving Tuesday! ⁠
⁠
We hope you'll give today for dogs like Gong, who waited seven long months in foster. This sweet, curious, goofy, rambunctious lovebug just needed a little extra time before finding his forever home.⁠
