Our 12 longest animals are all cats and have been here for over 100 days! The first 6 have been here for 250+ days. These guys will all take a few days to weeks to adjust to home life. They may hide or be noisy, but once settled in they will make great companions!
Durian is in a foster home. He loves being held and getting as much attention as possible!
Blackie loves playing with the younger kittens! She does great with people.
Bugle is in a foster home! He is a mellow boy who would love a calm house.
Dale does great with all cats, but hates dogs!
Brennan can be a bully towards cats and dogs, but will back down if they fight back.
Addy is the life of the party! He is super playful and friendly.
Daisy is calm and quiet. She keeps to herself but loves getting petted, hates being picked up.
Olivia is a playful girl. She does grewt with all cats.
Olive loves napping and watching eveybody from her bed.
Smokey loves people but not a fan of other cats. She does live with a few, but prefers no playing kittens.
Andre the Giant is a XL boy with an attitude to match. He acts sweet, but thats just to draw you in for a smack. He would do best as the only cat or with females cats. A calm home is best.

Meet Our Dogs!
If you are looking to adopt a female dog, we have several to choose from! Typically, we only have 1 or 2 females at a time, currently we have 4!
Latte is a sweet, timid 7 month old mix breed puppy. She was severely undersocialized as a puppy but has come so far two months! She loves going outside to play. She does great with a variety of dogs, is very playful with them but knows when to leave them alone. Latte would love a patient home willing to work with her on building confidence.
Hailey is our 1 year old energizer bunny! She would make a great walking or running buddy. She loves people. She prefers to hang out with male dogs. Hailey would love an active family.
Barker is our 1 year old medium mix adventure dog. He loves exploring the neighborhood and will climb a chainlink fence to do it. He loves being near people and rides great in the car.
Daisy is our sweet almost 10 year old lab mix. She would love a yard to get her zoomies out and then come inside to supervise life from a comfy bed. She is not a fan of all our young crazy dogs,( or cats) but has lived with small dogs before.
Zuma is our lovable 6 month old hound mix puppy. She loves everybody and thinks they want to be her friend! She is full of energy and curiosity!

Come meet our dogs and cats Wednesday-Friday 1-6 pm and Saturday 10-2 pm.
