☀️ Rhodes & Delphi are ready to let the sunshine in... and maybe your heart, too. ❤️🐾

When Rhodes ( ) and Delphi ( ) were just kittens, a local rescuer knew they deserved a brighter future. With patience, love, and a quiet place to grow, these now 4-year-old siblings discovered that people aren't so scary after all.

Today, you'll often find them soaking up the sunshine together on our Catio, enjoying the peaceful life they've worked so hard to embrace. 🌞😻

Rhodes and Delphi are looking for a calm, experienced home with adults—and children over 12 -who understand that trust is built one small step at a time. Give them the consistency and patience they need, and you'll be rewarded with the joy of watching two shy hearts continue to blossom.

They've come so far. Now all they need is a forever family to help them write the next chapter.
Come meet Rhodes and Delphi today—you just might be the happy ending they've been waiting for. 💕

🦸‍♀️ JESSIE NEEDS A HERO. 🦸‍♀️

And right now, her hero might be someone who can simply open their home to her for a little while. ❤️

Jessie ( ) has spent far too much of her life waiting. Rescued from Georgia as a puppy, she was adopted, only to return to us just three months later. Since then, our Pet Behavior team has worked closely with Jessie to help her build confidence and learn how to navigate the world around her.

But Jessie is struggling in the shelter environment, and we desperately need to learn more about who Jessie can be in a home.

We are looking for a dedicated foster who can give Jessie a 2-week to 1-month stay in a calm, quiet environment. This time would allow our team to better understand her behaviors, routines and needs outside of the shelter, so together we can determine the best path forward to help Jessie thrive and succeed.

We know this is a big ask. Jessie is not the easiest foster. ❤️ She currently takes medication three times a day, and she needs someone experienced, patient and willing to work closely with our team.

When Jessie is comfortable, you see a completely different side of her. She is loving, affectionate, cuddly and full of kisses. She also does well with other dogs, with a meet-and-greet required.

🐾 Her ideal foster:
• Experienced with dogs who need extra support
• A quiet suburban or rural home
• Older children (14+)
• Able to administer medication 3x daily
• Patient, observant and willing to communicate closely with our team

Jessie doesn't need someone to promise forever right now. She needs someone willing to give her a chance.

Two weeks. Maybe a month. A little time in a home could tell us so much about Jessie and give our team the information we need to help her move forward.

If you think you could be Jessie’s hero, please reach out:

This is a big ask. But Jessie needs someone willing to take it on. And we’re hoping that someone is out there. 🐾❤️ Please, help us help Jessie.

🚨 UPDATE: Snickers has returned with a VERY important list of demands. 😂🎤

After going viral last week for being his silly little self, Snickers is back on the mic to tell you EXACTLY what he’s looking for in a forever home. 👀🐾

Now 8 months old and 56 lbs of pure personality, this cattle dog mix has BIG energy, BIG opinions, and an even BIGGER heart. ❤️

His dream home? Someone with previous dog experience who can give him the structure, consistency, and patience he needs to keep growing, plus a family with kids 12+ who can respect his boundaries. He may get along with other dogs, too, with a meet and greet required!

Snickers is ready to take his comedy routine from the shelter to your living room. All he needs is someone willing to give this goofy boy the forever home he deserves. 🏡
