Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day.

While people often joke about their pets being “well fed,” obesity in our pets is not a joke. It causes a wide range of medical issues and joint pain for our pets. Weigh your pets regularly, give them proper exercise and balanced nutrition 🐕 🦴

Meet Blondie!

If you’re looking for a playful, happy-go-lucky companion to brighten your days, Blondie is your girl! This beautiful ~5-year-old lab mix has the heart of a puppy and the sweetness to match. She’s full of energy, loves to play, and will happily join you for walks, adventures, or a good old-fashioned game of fetch.

Blondie is ready to bring laughter, love, and lots of wagging tails into her forever home. Could that be yours?

Adoption pending!

Meet Koda - The one who longs to be your tiny shadow and constant snuggle buddy. Koda is being fostered in Angleton, Texas.

Koda is a sweet, half-pint sized pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Weighing in at 7 lbs., Koda loves nothing more than to play fetch, snuggle on the couch, and follow you everywhere you go. He's a true "velcro" dog - always close by and happiest when he's with his people.

Outdoors - Koda is in heaven! He walks like a perfect gentleman on a leash and enjoys exploring and basking in the sunlight. He's encountered the outdoor cats and will politely bop noses with them and then move on, and he hasn't shown interest in chasing squirrels. All great signs.

House-training: Koda is still working on his house-training skills and for now wears his belly bands when indoors. He's made progress with a consistent routine and since being neutered, his on-going training will only get better.

Koda's perfect home will be with someone who is home often and wants a constant companion (Koda enjoys car rides), one who also enjoys daily walks and lots of cuddle time, along with having patience to help him continue on with house-training. Koda is kennel-trained.

If you're interested in learning more about Koda, please complete our adoption application to start the process. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GCS/Dog or you can email us for more information at [email protected].

Meet Rex & Ren – a bonded pair of sweet brothers!

Ren and Rex are located in Lake Forest Park, WA, and are ready for their furever home. These two balance each other out purrfectly:

Ren, orange and white and approximately 6-7 years old, is the confident big brother who loves head scritches, tummy rubs, and lounging right in the middle of the room. He’s the boss and makes sure Rex feels safe.

Rex, gray and white and approximately 5 years old, is the baby—sweet, adorably awkward, and happiest perched on a windowsill or sipping from his water fountain. He follows Ren’s lead and loves cuddling up with him.

They wrestle, they cuddle, and they’ll melt your heart. They’re looking for a furever home together where they can continue being the purrfect duo.

Ren and Rex are fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped. Feel free to email [email protected] with questions. If you believe your home is the purrfect fit for Rex and Ren, please complete the adoption application, on our website:

Good things come to those who wait. Molly waited almost 2 years for her family to come along and it finally happened. Molly joined a family of three humans plus one dog. Molly transitioned instantly and enjoys playing, walking and as you can see, she LOVES her car ride outings. We’re so thankful to the Biekert family for seeking out Molly and making her a part of their family. Happy Life, Molly.
