Cue the happy tails! 🐾 These cats and dogs all strolled into their forever homes this week. 🥹

Introducing the one and only Bernadette! 🤩 This tortie beauty is truly a showstopper and she’s ready to find her forever home.

Described as “Rubenesque” by her adoring fans, Bernadette is 15 pounds of fluffy charm, curiosity, and a delightfully swinging belly. At 7 years young, this senior lady may start off shy and quiet, but with a little patience (and a cozy foster home), she’s blossomed into a much more confident, affectionate companion. 🐾

Bernadette gets along well with other cats and tolerates smaller dogs—though she mostly prefers to ignore them in favor of her own adventures. She’s incredibly sweet, loves to explore, and absolutely adores being brushed. We think she’d be happiest perched in a sunny window, bird-watching the day away.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving friend to brighten your home, Bernadette might just be your perfect match. 💛 Stop in and visit her at 4881 Country Club Rd!

How do we know Emily is the sweetest? 👀 Because she has a heart stamped right on her little nose! Meet Emily, one of our most precious four-legged friends. 🩷

She's a 42lb, 7-year-old senior girl. Here are some notes about Emily from her foster report card! 💌⬇️

Emily is the ultimate lovebug, always ready to cuddle and stay close to her people. She’s a calm and gentle companion with occasional bursts of playfulness. While she isn’t big on toys, she enjoys chewing on nylabones and treat-filled Kongs. Emily also loves spending time outside, running around, and enjoying the fresh air.

She does wonderfully with children (tested with ages 8+) and is naturally gentle, though she’s still working on keeping her excitement in check—especially when playing outdoors.

Emily is currently underweight and has some skin issues (due to allergies), but both are improving. She’s a big foodie who happily eats whatever you give her and never tries to eat non-food items. While she loves being nearby during mealtime in case of any tasty spills, she doesn’t jump on tables or try to steal food. She’s also a champ when it comes to bath time, as long as she has a peanut butter- covered lick mat to keep her occupied. Giving her pills is a breeze, too!

Completely housebroken and trustworthy outside of a crate, Emily is an easygoing, affectionate pup who just wants to be loved. Her sweet nature and easygoing personality will make her a wonderful addition to any home!

If you'd like to adopt this heart-nosed little lady, you can apply under her profile at forsythhumane.org/adopt/dogs. Share this with someone who needs Emily in their life!
