📦🐾 BREAKING: Our pets are officially accepting applications for a new address.

Some have been waiting patiently. Some have perfected their couch-potato skills. Some are currently living with amazing foster families while they wait for “their person” to finally walk through the door.

And now, thanks to our Movers for Mutts promotion, it’s the perfect time to help them pack up and move out! 🚚❤️

✨ Now through October 31:
🐶 ALL spayed and neutered dogs are just $25
🐱 ALL cats over 1 year old are just $25

That’s right. For less than the cost of a pizza night, you could gain a hiking buddy, professional greeter, expert snuggler, or full-time best friend.

Whether they’re relaxing in foster care or waiting at the shelter, these incredible pets are more than ready to trade temporary housing for forever homes. Their bags are packed. Their change-of-address forms are practically filled out. They just need YOU.

🏡 Make the move.
🐾 Meet your match.
❤️ Change a life.
