Hi, I'm Talia! I'm a social, affectionate girl who loves being around my people. Wherever you are, there's a good chance you'll find me nearby… and I may even flop down right beside you just to keep you company! 😻

I enjoy getting pets, soaking up attention, and spending time with my favorite humans. I'm wonderful with kids and would make a great addition to a family. While I love affection, I'm also an independent lady who is perfectly happy doing my own thing and enjoying a little quiet time when the mood strikes.

Whether I'm hanging out by your feet, watching the world go by, or asking for a few extra scratches, I bring a calm, loving presence wherever I go. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle companion who likes to be close but doesn't need to be the center of attention every minute, I just might be your perfect match! 🖤🐾

Love,
Talia

Hi, I'm Toulouse! I'm a 3-year-old Shepherd/Cattle Dog Mix with a big heart, lots of energy, and a love for fetch. If you've got a ball to throw, I'm your girl! 🎾🐾😍

I have a really exciting opportunity coming up at the end of July. I'll be attending a special day training program to help me continue building confidence and learn even better habits. To make the most of this amazing opportunity, I'm looking for a 🏠 foster home (or forever home!) that can give me consistency, structure, and a chance to settle in before training begins.

I can have dog friends, but I'd do best in a home with just one other dog and my favorite humans. Cats are a no for me, but I'm a very friendly girl and would do just fine with older kids. I'm active, playful, and ready to thrive with the right guidance and routine. Most of all, I need someone patient who understands that first impressions aren't always the whole story. Give me a little time, and I just might surprise you.

A little stability now could make a lifelong difference for me. Could you be the special person who helps me shine? 🌞

Won't you please consider fostering or adopting me? I have so much love to give and so much potential just waiting to blossom. Even if you can't take me in, sharing my story could help me find the perfect match! 🐶💜🎉

Love,
Toulouse

Hi, I'm Valli! 🤍 If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion, I think we might be the perfect match. I'm a gorgeous white girl with just a couple of little gray spots on my head, and I have a whole lot of love to give. My favorite things in life are cuddles, head scratches, and spending time with my people. In fact, I'm known for being quite the purr machine — I start rumbling the moment I get a little attention! 😻

When I'm not soaking up pets and affection, you can usually find me playing, napping in a cozy spot, birdwatching from the window, or relaxing in my cat tower while I keep an eye on the world outside.

I'm a gentle, loving girl with a sweet personality and a big heart. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily fill your home with purrs, snuggles, and love, I just might be the cat for you. 🐈🐾💗

Love,
Valli

Hi, I’m Lokie! 🐶 I’m a handsome ginger Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler) with a big smile, lots of energy, and a heart full of love. If there’s a tennis ball around, count me in! I love playing fetch, splashing in the pool, going for car rides, and joining my people on all kinds of adventures. 🐾☀️

I’m a very smart boy who’s both potty trained and crate trained, and I’m learning commands like sit, stay, leave it, and come. I’m also working hard on my leash manners because I love making my people proud.

I get along great with other dogs and even cats, but I do have a typical Heeler personality — I’m intelligent, energetic, and always ready for something to do! I’d thrive with an experienced, active family that can keep my mind and body busy with walks, hikes, running, dog sports, or other fun activities.

If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick who’s always up for an adventure and even happier to spend time with you, I might just be your perfect match! Set up a time to meet me today! 🧡🎾💦

Love,
Lokie

FOLLOW-UP FRIDAY: It's been over a year since Bowie found his forever home and nearly a year since Quinn (formerly Vanellope) joined the family, and these two have become quite the duo! ❤️

From backyard adventures and sunbeam battles to learning new tricks and plotting ways to break into the treat cabinet, Bowie and Quinn keep their family laughing every day. We're so grateful they found their forever family and the loving home they deserve! Check out the update we recently received from their family below.
Hello from Bowie and Quinn (formerly Vanellope)!

Just wanted to give a little update on our two furkids. It’s been almost a year to the date since we adopted Bowie, and filled the cat-shaped hole in our lives after the death of a beloved cat. From day 1, it felt like he’d always been a part of our family. A month and a half later, we thought Bowie should have a friend, and we definitely had the space and love, so we adopted Quinn.

Now these 2 spend their days having backyard adventures, stealing the sunbeam from each other, and getting all the love and snuggles they can handle! Life is a constant laugh with all the energy and antics they get up to. They’ve even taken quickly to clicker training and learning new ways to break into the treat cabinet.

Thanks so much to Homeward for all your hard work and dedication to connecting homeless pets with loving forever families. I know ours wouldn’t be the same without these two lovable goons!

Jessica and Aaron
Have you adopted a from us? We’d love to share your story! Send an update and pictures to [email protected], and we will feature you in an upcoming Follow-Up Friday!

Hi, we're Wakko and Minerva Mink! 🖤🤍

We're a bonded pair of brothers looking for a forever home together. Don't worry, though — we're very polite gentlemen and have mastered the art of taking turns when there's only one lap available!

😺 I'm Wakko, the sleek black guy. I love pets, lap time, and have a pretty impressive purr, even if I don't say much besides reminding everyone when it's mealtime. 🐈‍⬛

😺 And I'm Minerva Mink, the black-and-white fellow. I'm a big guy, but don't let my size fool you — I'm surprisingly spry! I roll over for belly rubs within minutes of meeting new people because, yes, I really do love tummy scratches. 🐈

Together, we're playful, outgoing, and affectionate. We enjoy all kinds of toys, cozy naps, birdwatching, and soaking up sunny spots. Most of all, we love cuddling with each other and our people. If you're looking for two sweet, easygoing boys with double the love to give, we'd be honored to become your new best friends. 😍🐾

Love,
Wakko & Minerva Mink
