🌺 MEET HIBISCUS: 88 DAYS OF UNEMPLOYED, UNBOTHERED & UNAPOLOGETIC. 🌺😂

Hibiscus is around 1 year old, and we’d love to say we have NO idea how she’s been here for 88 DAYS… but the RBF and ✨cattitude✨ probably play a small role.😅

Her origin story makes her even more iconic: Hibiscus originally came to us as a stray from a local gun range. 🎯😂 We don’t know what she was doing there, but we can only assume she was plotting and silently judging everyone from a safe distance.

She IS sweet and affectionate when Hibiscus decides she wants to be. You may pet her. You may admire her. But once your allotted petting time has expired, you’ll be notified via ✋ slap. No HR department. No appeals process.

Other cats? She does fine with them as long as they mind their own business. However if they get a little too nosy? ✋ Slap. Hibiscus is a firm believer in personal space.

BUT DOGS?! Evidently, she LOVES them. 😂❤️ Apparently fellow cats are annoying, but dogs meet Her Majesty’s standards. We don’t make the rules around here OBVIOUSLY Hibiscus does.

She’d do best with older kids who understand cat boundaries and are okay occasionally being bullied by an overweight, bratty roommate who contributes absolutely NOTHING toward the household bills. Otherwise, a child-free home would suit her just fine. 👑

Underneath all that sass is genuinely a sweet girl who deserves someone who appreciates a cat with a BIG personality. After 88 days, it’s about time somebody signs up to be bossed around by her permanently. 😂❤️

And because apparently we’re giving away tiny dictators now… HER ADOPTION FEE IS COMPLETELY WAIVED! 🏡🐾

🐾 Meet Cujo! 🖤🤍

Don’t let the name fool you this Cujo is about as sweet as they come! 😂 At around 7 years old, this handsome Border Collie mix is the perfect combination of sweet, goofy, and SO, SO smart!

Cujo has such a fun personality and always seems to have a smile on his face. He’s incredibly intelligent (those Border Collie brains are definitely working overtime 🧠😂) and loves being around his people. He’s past the crazy puppy stage but still has plenty of personality, silliness, and love to give!

🐶 Great with other dogs
🐱 No cats, please! Cujo has a high prey drive, so a feline-free home is a must.

And can we talk about those two different colored eyes?! 😍 He’s handsome, hilarious, smart, and ready to trade shelter life for a family of his very own.

Come meet Cujo and see why we’ve all fallen for this goofy gentleman!

Meet Tangelo!

Somehow, our handsome mystery man is still here.

Tangelo has been in the shelter for almost 50 days now, and we genuinely don’t understand how this boy keeps getting overlooked.

Tangelo originally came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. We don’t know much about his life before us, but one thing was obvious from the beginning someone spent time with this dog. He knows basic commands, has great recall, is food motivated, walks well, and absolutely LOVES people.

He’s around 1.5 years old, incredibly intelligent, social, handsome as can be, and always eager to make a new friend. ❤️ And after nearly 50 days of shelter life, he’s more than ready for someone to finally look at him and say, “That’s my dog.”

Tangelo does well with dogs who are compatible with his play style, but he does need a cat-free home. He’s an active young dog with so much potential and would thrive with someone excited to keep working with that big brain of his!

Almost 50 days might not sound like forever to us, but for a dog who wakes up in the same kennel every morning, it’s a long time to wait.

Please share Tangelo and help us make sure day 50 is one of his LAST days in the shelter. 🏡❤️
