Ssssay hello to Wessssley! 🐍
This shy Ball Python is looking for an experienced home where he can come out of his shell (or should we sssay… scales 😉). He’s still learning that handling isn’t scary, but with patience and love, Wessssley will warm up. 💚 Could he ssslither his way into your heart? Email [email protected] and outline your experience with reptiles. Adoption fee is $25!

Meet Crisp Air-a sweet 1-year-old kitty who is learning that the world isn't such a scary place after all.
Crisp Air loves the safety of his blankets and takes comfort in cozy hiding spots. With soft words and gentle affection, he'll peek out and show you his tender side. He's making progress every day and just needs a patient, cat-savvy family to help him continue blossoming. 🌱

Happy Monday! We had to share this one; it’s a first for us. Our guess that this puppy was attacked proved true when we discovered the tooth of the attacker left for evidence! Crazy! 😜 If you like medical cases like this, RACC Medical Picsedical Pics (warning graphic) for more!

🎣🐶 Meet Catfish Noodling! 🐶🎣

This 5-year-old pit bull is as fun and goofy as his name! Catfish Noodling was sadly seen being dumped out of a car, but he hasn't let that stop his big heart from shining. 💕 While he does like goofing around with other dogs, he would do best as the only pet in the home.

Catfish Noodling is a wiggly, kiss-giving, tail-wagging goofball who will keep you laughing with his playful personality. 🤪💋 He's got some energy to burn, gets easily excitable, and could use a little polish with his basic manners training-but hey, that's part of the fun!

Meet him tomorrow 12-4pm!

🎉Meet the cutest little nugget ever!😍 This is Bumper Boat 🚢
Bumper is estimated to be 5 years old, 15 pound Terrier mix and is partially blind. She still gets around with a few bumps here and there (hence her name).

She would like to be the only pet in the home. Bumper is VERY people oriented and loves spending every second with her humans!
If you are interested in adopting Bumper Boat, please email [email protected] to make an appointment. Please include your household information- if you rent/own, any other adults/kids/pets and why you would be the best fit for a vision impaired pup!❤️
