A friend to everyone and a total love-bug, we knew Pepsi wouldn’t take long to find his perfect match at the shelter, someone to take him home and shower him with affection for the rest of his days. What we didn’t expect was that his perfect people would fall just as deeply in love with his friend, Rover!

Now, the two are heading home together, ready to spend their lives side by side as the best of buds. We couldn’t be happier that these beyond-sweet kitties found a family with more than enough love to go around, and one that chose to share their hearts with not just one, but two absolute gentlemen!

We are pleased to announce that Pepsi found their forever home on Jun 20, 2026.

Hiya, I'm Gremlin! I'm a total kitten menace (in the very best way) who never stops moving or getting into wild antics, just like my name suggests! My boundless energy and love for mischief are always switched on, no matter the time. Water? Food? Time of day? Nothing slows me down! I've been described as "friendly to the max" by those that know me, and I absolutely love people! I'm all about playtime, tumbling around, and getting as close as possible to my humans (honestly, I'd crawl right into your skin if I could...in the most affectionate way, of course!). My purr motor is set to "constant," and I'm always ready for a roly-poly romp or a good cuddle session with my friends.If you're looking for a lively little companion who can match your home's energy, and shower you with unconditional love, I'm your guy! Come visit me at the Adoption Centre, I'd be thrilled to meet you!Dog-friendly: Untested, likely yesCat-friendly: YesKid-friendly: YesDo I Need Special Care?: No

Our sweet, super-friendly orange boy has found his forever home! With his ultra-soft fur and those irresistibly adorable tomcat cheeks, Elliot charmed everyone he met along the way: people, cats, kids, and even the Great Pyrenees at his former fosters’ couldn’t resist him!
Playful, curious, and always ready for an adventure, Elliot loves learning new things and showing off his leash-walking skills while safely exploring the outdoors. Most of all, he’s a lovebug at heart, happiest when he’s sharing affection and fun with his people.
We’re so thrilled that Elliot is heading off to a home where he’ll have plenty of space to run, play, and keep discovering the world, while bringing endless joy to his new family every single day!

We are pleased to announce that Elliot found their forever home on Jun 12, 2026.

Sweet and sensitive Collin has found his forever home, and we are so excited for him to embark on his next adventure! Though he started his journey as a timid observer, Collin has already been showing glimpses of the lovable, goofy personality waiting just beneath the surface.

Now, he’s headed to a calm and understanding home where he’ll have all the time, patience, and gentle encouragement he needs to continue growing in confidence. We can’t wait to see him blossom into the wonderful companion we know he can be!

🎉 Congrats Sparrow! 🎉

Our sweet senior girl, Sparrow, has found her forever home! After waiting patiently for her perfect match, Sparrow is officially starting the next chapter of her life, one filled with gentle strolls in the sunshine, cozy beds for afternoon naps, and all the unconditional love she deserves.

Senior dogs have so much love to give, and Sparrow is proof that age is just a number when it comes to finding your happily ever after. We couldn’t be more excited for her as she settles into a retirement life full of comfort, companionship, and cherished moments. Thank you to her amazing adopters for opening their hearts and giving Sparrow the golden years every senior dog should have. 🌞🐾

🎉 Congrats Juniper! 🎉

Juniper is settling into her new home beautifully! This energetic girl has already won over her family with her huge heart, sharp mind, and fun-loving personality. Her adopters report that she’s adjusted quickly and is making herself right at home. She’s been showing off her wicked zoomies, keeping everyone entertained with her bursts of puppy energy, while also impressing her family with her clever brain and great manners. Best of all, Juniper’s affectionate side is shining through, and she loves spending time with her people.

Juniper is especially lucky to have joined a family where everyone is committed to playing an active role in her training and development. With so much support, consistency, and love around her, she’s already thriving and building a strong foundation for the future.

We’re so excited to see what adventures lie ahead for this sweet, smart pup. Congratulations to Juniper and her wonderful family!
