🐾💖 Happy Valentine’s Day from Jaxson! 💖🐾

Hey, future best friend! It’s me, Jaxson! Just wanted to say that today is all about love—and I’ve got SO much of it to share! I may be waiting for my forever home, but my heart is already full and ready to give all of the cuddles you could ever need.

I’ve got a BIG heart and am always ready to show it with tail wags and wet-nosed kisses. So, if you’re looking for a loyal buddy who belly rubs, look no further.

Will you be my Valentine?

Hey there, human friends! It’s Goldie and Spooky, and we’ve got some purrfect news—Valentine's Day is TOMORROW! 😻✨

Goldie: “I’m Goldie, and I’m ready to steal your heart! I love cuddles, and snuggling up with a good book (or just your lap, really). I'm all about spreading the love—just look at my golden glow!"

Spooky: “And I’m Spooky! I am good with dogs, cats, toddlers, and even babies. With a perfect mix of sass and s***k, I love to chase coils and bat around ping pong balls. When playtime winds down, I am all about the cuddles and will happily keep your lap warm.

Goldie: “So, what are you waiting for? We’re ready to be your Valentine! 💘

🐾 Foster Alert! 🐾

We have a few adorable cats and kittens looking for foster homes, and they need your help! Here are some sweet faces that are ready to find a cozy space to call their own:

🐱 PF Chang – 3-month-old kitten
Found in a parking lot, PF Chang is as sweet as can be and loves to cuddle! Currently on medication for an upper respiratory infection, but doing well and would thrive in a quiet, loving home.

🐱 Delilah – 2-year-old mama
Delilah has cared for her four babies, and now it’s her turn to be spoiled! She’s a little shy at first but warms up quickly with love and patience. She’d do best in a calm, cozy home to help her feel secure.

🐱 Loki – 2-year-old male
Loki is an affectionate and playful cat who loves to be near his people! He’s well-trained, playful, and curious, and he’d make a great companion if you’re looking for a fun and loyal cat.
If you have room in your home to foster any of these sweet kitties, we’d love to hear from you! Please email our foster coordinator at [email protected]. You can also check out our Trello board for more foster opportunities: AARF Foster Animals Trello Board: https://trello.com/b/i0q6302k/aarf-foster-animals

Thank you for your support and for giving these sweet pets a chance at a happy life! 🐾💕

Finn is a fun-loving, smart, and well-behaved pup who’s fully potty trained, great on a leash, crate calm, and low anxiety. He loves people and dogs, enjoys car rides, and will make a great hiking or running buddy. Having recently found stability, he thrives with structure, exercise, and chew toys. Still a bit mouthy and jumpy, he’s best suited for adopters without young kids. Perfect for active professionals, Finn will be an incredible adventure companion!
