Picture Description
Pets CHICO - A211641
I am a neutered male American Pit Bull Terrier mix and I am about 1 year and 7 months old
Hi! My name is Gus, and I'm 5 pounds and growing! My brother and I came in the shelter when we were 4 weeks old and immediately went to live with a foster family. Don't look too closely into my beautiful blue eyes or you just might fall in love instantly. My favorite things (besides breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are wrestling with my brother and cozying up for a nap either in my doggie bed or a nice warm lap. In my foster home, I’ve been growing up and learning cool new puppy skills like playing with squeaky toys, chasing balls, sleeping in a crate and romping in the grass. I’ve been pretty good about sleeping through the night. I’m at the very beginning of my potty training, so I will need someone who can be patient with me as I figure that out. My foster family is always telling me what a good, smart boy I am, so I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it quickly. When I am not napping, I love to PLAY. Are you ready to be my new playmate?
Pets MAMA DOG - A211890
I am a spayed female American Staffordshire Terrier and I am about 4 years old
Pets DHARMA - A220464
I am a spayed female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 3 years old
Hi, I'm Dharma! I'm looking for a new forever home because my owner is moving out of state soon and, unfortunately, can't take me along. I'm a sweet, quiet companion who loves simply being near my favorite person, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying some fresh air together. I especially love walking through the garden with my owner—it helps me feel calm, and I enjoy taking in all the sights and smells of nature. I haven't lived with dogs or children, so I'd likely do best in a peaceful home where I can adjust at my own pace. When new visitors come over, I usually hide until things settle down, but once I feel safe, I'm a loyal and loving friend. If you're looking for a gentle companion who will appreciate a calm home and your company, I just might be the perfect match for you.
Pets LUNA - A219793
I am a spayed female Carolina Dog and Canaan Dog and I am about 5 months old
My name is Luna, and I’m a sweet, playful, high-energy 5-month-old puppy looking for a new home because my family has to move to a location where the dogs there don’t get along well with other dogs. I’m crate trained and housebroken, and I absolutely love going for car rides! I’m still a puppy, so I have lots of energy and love to play, but I’m also a total sweetheart. I can be vocal and am still learning my puppy manners, including that cords are not chew toys! I also need a home that understands that I don’t like sharing my toys, treats, or bones—I may growl if I feel like someone is trying to take them. Because of this, I would probably do best in a home without young children and with someone who can continue working with me. I haven’t been around cats yet, so those are unknown. I have so much love and personality to give and would make a wonderful companion for the right family who is ready for a fun, energetic, and loving puppy!
Pets LUNA - A203013
I am a spayed female Labrador Retriever and Plott Hound and I am about 3 years old
Hey, I'm Luna! I've got a big heart and an even bigger appetite for fun. My mom says I am gentle, affectionate, and oh-so-playful, I'm the complete package. I love nothing more than cuddling up for some quality snuggle time, but I also have a playful side that comes alive when there are toys involved. Whether it's chasing balls, fethcing my kong or tugging on ropes, I'm always up for a good time. I believe in spreading happiness wherever I go as long as I am the only pet receiving your attention. If you're searching for a delightful companion to brighten your days, look no further. I'm luna, and I'm ready to shower you with love, laughter, and a lifetime of unforgettable moments!
Pets MAPLE - A221214
I am a unaltered female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 2 months old
Hi, I’m Maple! I was found as a stray with my mom and siblings, but now I’m happily living the indoor life and loving every minute of it. I’m the sweetest of my litter and absolutely adore people. I’m incredibly affectionate, purr constantly, and love being close to my humans. I’m also great with young children and even like dogs! If you’re looking for a gentle, loving, people-oriented kitty who will fill your home with purrs and affection, I might just be your perfect match. ??
Pets ZOEY - A221056
I am a spayed female Vizsla and Plott Hound and I am about 10 months old
Hi, I’m Zoey, a very chill puppy who is looking for a loving new home! I’m crate trained and housebroken, and while I haven’t been around kids yet, I have happily lived with cats. I love going for car rides, sleeping in the bed, and—most of all—being close to my people. I’m the biggest snuggler and absolutely love curling up on your lap and falling asleep. I respond really well to positive reinforcement, I’m eager to learn, and I pick up new things quickly. I’m also perfectly happy spending some time on my own, but nothing makes me happier than being part of the family. I’m a sweet, easygoing girl who would love to find my forever home where I can give all the love and cuddles I have to offer!
Pets SCARLETT - A219497
I am a spayed female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 6 years old
Hi, I’m Scarlett, and I’m looking for a quiet forever home where I can be your one and only pet. I’m a very pretty, sweet girl with just the right amount of sass to keep life interesting! I love chasing balls and laser pointers, climbing and running around the house, but I’m also an excellent cuddle buddy when it’s time to relax. I do have a few special needs — generic cat food makes my allergies flare up, but I’ve done really well on Hill’s brand food. I’m not comfortable around small children or dogs, and when visitors come over, I usually hide until things calm down. I’ll also need something safe to scratch on because I love keeping my claws busy, and please no indoor plants since I can’t resist nibbling on them. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with personality, playfulness, and lots of love to give, I just might be your perfect match.
Pets CARRIE - A184438
I am a spayed female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 7 years old
Hello there! My name is Carrie, and I'm on the lookout for a new forever home. I'm a friendly kitty who loves to jump into laps, even those of visitors, because everyone deserves a bit of Carrie love. I adore playing with toys and often get the zoomies during playtime, racing around with joy. I'm also an early riser and will gently remind you when it's time for my breakfast, but I promise I'm always polite about it. If you're looking for a loving and energetic feline companion, I'm your girl!
Pets BINX - A221213
I am a unaltered female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 2 months old
Hi, I’m Binx! ?? I was found as a stray with my mom and siblings, and now I’m looking for a loving forever home. I’m an indoor kitty who is getting better with dogs every day, and I’m great with young children. I’m a little shy at first, so I need some time and patience to learn to trust you, but once I feel comfortable, my playful personality really shines! I love to play and would do best in a home with a kitty buddy so I always have a friend to keep me company. I’m ready to find my special family and show them just how sweet I can be! ??
Pets LOLA - A221057
I am a spayed female Vizsla and Plott Hound and I am about 10 months old
Hi, I’m Lola! I’m looking for a loving new home where I can be my happy, energetic self. I’m crate trained and housebroken, and I love sleeping in bed with my person. I get along well with cats, enjoy going for car rides, and absolutely love to play with blankets—I’ll burrow underneath them, wrestle and play, or carry them around like my favorite toy! I’m high energy and need lots of exercise and playtime, but I’m also eager to learn and love being around my people. I can be a little insecure in new situations, but with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I quickly gain confidence. Once I feel comfortable, I’m a fun, affectionate, playful companion who will bring lots of love and personality to my new family.
Pets EMMA - A219496
I am a spayed female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 6 years old
Hi, my name is Emma, and I’m a beautiful, sweet, lovable girl looking for a quiet inside-only home where I can be the center of attention. I have feline asthma, so I’ll need a family who can help keep me healthy and comfortable, and I’d do best in a home without dogs or indoor plants because I can’t resist nibbling on them! I’m very social and gentle with young children, especially little ones under 5, and I absolutely love to cuddle, curl up with my favorite human, and ask for lots of pets. When visitors come over, I usually hide until things calm down, but once I feel safe, I’m affectionate and loving. I also love watching birds and squirrels from the window and will need something fun to scratch and keep my paws busy. I’d probably be happiest as the only cat in the home so I can soak up all the love and attention for myself.
Pets BARNEY - A216722
I am a neutered male Domestic Shorthair and I am about 3 years old
Pets WILLOW - A221215
I am a unaltered female Domestic Shorthair and I am about 2 months old
Hi, I’m Willow! I was originally found as a stray with my mom and siblings, and I’m now looking for a loving indoor home of my own. I’m good with young children and I’m getting better around dogs, although I can be very shy and cautious at first. When visitors come over, I usually prefer to hide and observe from a safe spot until I feel comfortable. I’m an independent little girl who is perfectly happy spending time by myself—I’m more of an observer than a needy kitten. I may take a little patience and time to come out of my shell, but once I feel safe, I’ll show you my sweet personality. I’m looking for someone who will let me blossom at my own pace and give me the loving forever home I deserve.
Pets MABEL - A217051
I am a spayed female American Staffordshire Terrier mix and I am about 3 years old
Hi, I’m Mabel ??—a very friendly, people-loving pup looking for a new home where I can get the walks, yard time, and attention I really need. My current family loves me, but without a yard and with busy schedules, they can’t give me as much activity as I deserve. I’m crate trained and housebroken, and at night I’m happiest cuddled up sleeping in the bed with you. I adore car rides, get along great with other dogs, and I’m always excited to make new human friends. I can be a bit vocal and will definitely bark when I want attention, and if I’m bored I might “redecorate” by destroying personal items—so I do best with someone who has time to keep me busy and loved. If you’re looking for a cuddly, social, and spirited companion, I might just be your girl. ??
Pets BRODIE - A220964
I am a neutered male Labrador Retriever mix and I am about 7 years old
Hi, I’m Brodie! I’m looking for a new home where I can get the time, space, and exercise I need. My current owners love me, but they don’t have a yard and work long hours, so I’m hoping to find a family who can keep up with my high-energy, playful personality. I’m crate trained and housebroken, great with young kids, and I’m a smart boy who loves learning and having fun. I enjoy car rides and I’m used to going on 2–3 mile walks every day, so an active family would be perfect for me. I do need a home without cats, as I don’t get along with them. I’m also a good watchdog and will let you know when someone comes to the door! Most of all, I’m looking for a loving family who will give me plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime—and I’ll give you lots of love and companionship in return.
Pets OKRA - A218711
I am a spayed female Treeing Walker Coonhound and I am about 4 years old
Hi, I’m Okra! I’m a sweet, cuddly girl looking for a new home where I can truly shine. My current human loves me very much, but we both know I’d do best in a home that fits my needs just a little better. Let me tell you about myself… I’m housebroken, well-mannered, and not destructive (no chewing up your favorite shoes here). I sleep in bed with my person—yes, I’m a certified cuddle bug—and I absolutely love cozy couch time just as much as I love getting outside to move. I’ve got a high-energy side, so I’d make an amazing running or walking partner, but I’m also a total couch potato when it’s time to relax. I love people. Like… really love them. I’m affectionate, very sweet, and I have a special way of tuning into how you’re feeling. My humans say I’m incredibly empathetic and intuitive—I can tell when you need comfort, and I’m always there for you. I bond deeply and just want to be your companion through everything. I know some commands like sit, shake, down, no, and climb, and I’m currently working hard in obedience training to keep improving. I’m smart and eager, and I do best with someone who understands dogs and can guide me with confidence. Now, I want to be honest: I can be a bit anxious, and because of that, I need to be the only pet in the home. I just feel safest and happiest when I don’t have to share my space. I can also be a little vocal—I like to express myself! My dream home would be with an experienced dog owner who has a yard where I can run and play, but who will also welcome me inside for lots of love, snuggles, and downtime. I thrive on connection and routine, and I’m happiest when I feel secure and understood. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, intuitive companion who will stick by your side through it all, I might just be your girl.
Pets BRODY - A219347
I am a neutered male Rottweiler mix and I am about 10 years old
I'm about 65lbs. I’ve had one person for a long time, eight years. She found me, chose me, and gave me a calm, steady life. I learned how to walk nicely on a leash, how to sit close, how to just be a good, easy companion. That’s who I am. I don’t need much. I just like being near my person. Things have changed recently. She can’t walk with me anymore. We spend more time sitting together now. I stay close. That part still feels right. But she has one last wish for me. She wants to know I’ll be okay. She wants me to find another home, someone who will keep things simple and kind, like I’m used to. I haven't lived with other pets so I would prefer a home without them. If you’re looking for a calm dog… one who doesn’t bring chaos, just quiet company… that’s me. I’m gentle. I listen. I don’t have any trouble behaviors. I just want a place to belong and a person to stay close to. I’ve done this before. I can do it again. I just need someone to choose me.
Pets GOOD SAM - A207241
I am a neutered male American Staffordshire Terrier mix and I am about 5 years old
Hello! I'm Good Sam, and I'm looking for a new home where I can share my love and energy. I had a rough start after being hit by a car, but a wonderful person brought me to a vet clinic where I was treated for road rash. Now, I'm healthy and ready for my next adventure. The amazing folks at the clinic found out a lot about me while I have been here. I'm friendly and playful, housebroken and crate trained. I have a lot of energy and sometimes get so excited to see you that I jump with joy! Despite my enthusiastic nature, I'm a perfect gentleman and can't wait to find a forever home where I can bring happiness and companionship. Could that be with you?
