💋💗
Boop-Oop-a-Doop!
Meet Betty Boop!
💗💋

This little doll is about a year old, and she’s got a whole lot of love tucked into a tiny package! Betty Boop is as sweet as can be, with a cuddly side that’ll have you falling head over heels. 🥰

She might be a teeny bit shy when you first meet her (a lady does like to make a proper entrance, after all 💁‍♀️), but give her a little time and kindness, and you’ll get to see just how precious she really is.

Big eyes? Check! (Big ears, too!) 👀
Sweet personality? Check! 😍
Professional cuddlebug potential? ABSOLUTELY. 💯

Betty’s ready to find her leading man or leading lady and live happily ever after! 💋 Could that be you?

Come meet Betty Boop at our shelter and let her show you what all the fuss is about. 🎀🐾

Adopt Betty Boop — and she will boop-oop-a-doop her way right into your heart! 💗

Edmond Pevensie has entered the chat. 🦁

Yes, we named him after The Chronicles of Narnia.

No, we cannot confirm whether he has ever betrayed his siblings for Turkish delight......

What we CAN confirm is that Edmond is looking for his own little happily-ever-after, preferably somewhere that doesn't involve a magical wardrobe or an eternal winter.

He's currently waiting at the shelter for someone to open the door to his next adventure. And honestly? We'd really love for that adventure to involve a couch, a loving family, and a permanent spot in someone's heart. ❤️

Think you're ready to help Edmond find his way to his forever home? Come meet him! 🐾

MAXIMILLION HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A FAVORITISM PROBLEM. 🚨

As in, everyone at the shelter is obsessed with him. 😂

Maximillion is a 1-year-old Rottie mix who has somehow managed to become a staff favorite simply by being an exceptionally good boy. He’s sweet, gentle, friendly, and apparently incapable of receiving a bad review.

We’ve asked around. The consensus is in: 10/10 good boy. No notes.

Now, we’re just trying to figure out how to get him promoted from staff favorite to someone’s entire world.

Interested in meeting the guy everyone is talking about? Come meet Maximillion! 🐾❤️

This isn’t aggression. This is a dog asking for space. Bindi the small dog is brand new to my house. Ryder really wants to say hello, but he is big, fluffy, and hops on three legs. Plus Bindi has street smarts and wants to assess Ryder first - learn he is safe- before playing or having him in her space.

Her tail is down, her body is curled and she isn’t facing him even though she is raising her lip and glaring. (Tried to get. Video but it didn’t happen).

I helped Bindi out by moving Ryder away until she got more comfortable with him. This helps Bindi feel safe and that she isn’t fending for herself. Yesterday they kind of played for a split second.

We have a wonderful happy tail to share! 🕺

Our beautiful girls, Sally and Sasha, have officially been ADOPTED! 😭❤️

These two have been long-time residents of our shelter, and we couldn’t be happier to share that they’ve found their forever home TOGETHER! As a bonded pair, keeping these girls together was always the dream, and somehow, they landed with a family that couldn’t be more perfect for them.

Their new dad has been telling us how AMAZING they are! 🥹 They’re protective, potty-trained, well-mannered, and settling right into home life. Their only *tiny* flaw? They’re early birds and have apparently decided that sleeping in is no longer an option for their human. 😂☀️

We are beyond grateful to this wonderful family for opening their hearts and home to BOTH girls. After spending so much time waiting, Sally and Sasha finally get to start their next chapter together, surrounded by the love, comfort, and security they deserve.

Happy tails, sweet girls! We couldn’t have imagined a better happily-ever-after for you. 🐺❤️🏡

Adopted together. Loved forever. 🐾
