🐾 Meet Baby! 🐾

This handsome, chunky gentleman is Baby, an 8-year-old neutered male weighing in at a cuddly 13 pounds. ❤️

Baby came to us when his owner went away to college and unfortunately couldn’t take him along. While that was a big change for him, he’s handling it like the sweet boy he is.

Baby can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and he’ll quickly warm up. Once he does, you’ll discover his favorite thing in the world: head scratches! 🥰 He absolutely melts for attention and loves soaking up all the scratch scratches he can get.

If you’re looking for a quiet, loving companion who will happily keep you company and reward your kindness with affection, Baby may be the perfect match for you.

Come meet Baby and see if he’s the missing piece of your family! 🐱❤️

Let’s find this sweet boy the forever home he deserves! 🏡

Meet Mailo! 🐾
At just 7 months old, Mailo is currently pursuing a full-time career in toy destruction, zoomies, and investigating absolutely everything. 🦴🎾😂

This handsome pitbull mix is your typical puppy—full of energy, curiosity, and just enough mischief to keep life interesting. He’s cat-curious (translation: “What is that tiny furry creature and can we be friends?”), seems friendly with the other dogs at the shelter, and has lived with children.

Mailo loves being outside, running, playing, and generally acting like the world is his personal playground. 🌳☀️ He’s still in his puppy phase, so he’ll need some continued training and structure, but he’s eager to learn and ready to be someone’s best friend.

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, adventure buddy, and occasional comedy act all rolled into one adorable package, Mailo might just be your guy. ❤️

Come meet Mailo and see if your toy basket is ready for its newest customer!
