Meet Charlie, your new best friend! This gorgeous sheltie mix aims to please his humans and loves attention. At approximately 5 years old, and medium energy level, he will make a great family dog who just wants to be by your side. Charlie came into the rescue with his two 'sisters' and he has a very gentle, playful nature with them. While he is being adopted individually, he would flourish with another playful doggy companion.

Charlie has been working very hard on potty training and has made fantastic progress in his foster home. He will need continued support with this as he transitions to his forever home. It has become clear that having a fenced in yard is a new experience for him. It takes some encouragement to get him to step into the grass but he will often potty right away once in the yard. He seems to only know 'leash walks', not free yard roaming. Over time he is gaining confidence with being in a yard.

During the day Charlie is crated when we are not home, and will happily go to his crate for a treat. Many day to day experiences are new for him and he will look to his humans for guidance if he is feeling unsure.

Charlie has not been cat tested but due to his friendly demeanor, we believe he would do well with proper introductions. He does have some hair loss due to his previous experiences but it is starting to grow back beautifully.

Charlie would fit into many family dynamics easily. He gives gentle little licks and looks at you like you're his whole world.

🧡 Orange girl alert! 🧡

Meet Burnt Sienna, a 3.5-month-old orange kitten—and yes, she’s a girl! Female orange cats are much less common than males, making this little lady extra special. 🐱✨

But her coloring isn’t the only thing to love about her. Burnt Sienna is an absolute sweetheart with a gentle, lovable personality. She’s affectionate, playful and happiest when she has friends around.

And when we say friends, we mean ALL the friends. 😂 Burnt Sienna LOVES other cats and dogs and would be thrilled to have a furry buddy (or two!) in her forever home. 🐶🐱

Meet her tomorrow at Market Street Brewery 12-2pm or apply to take her home today! www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat

He’s the perfect combination of playtime + cuddle time—ready to zoom around with you one minute and melt into your arms the next. 🥰

💋 WARNING: Simon WILL lick you. 😂

Your face? Yep. Your hands? Absolutely. Whatever part of you happens to be closest? Fair game.

At just 2.5 months old, Simon is one seriously entertaining little dude. He spends his days running around with his foster brother, playing with anything and everything that could possibly qualify as a toy, and happily playing with the dog in his foster home. 🐱🐶

Then, once he’s gotten all those kitten zoomies out, he’ll climb right onto your chest and settle in for a nap. 🥹❤️

Silly, playful, affectionate, dog-friendly AND generous with the kisses?! What more could you want?

Apply to adopt Simon! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat
