He's quick to jump in your lap and give you some kisses and is always ready for a walk outside. 😊

Does Uncle Moe looks like the pup for you?

Tonya is a sweet 8-year-old girl looking for a calm, cozy home. 🧡 She is ready for a life full of gentle love, tasty treats, and comfy windowsills to watch the world pass by!

She can be a bit shy at first, but once she feels safe, this sweet girl begins to let her affectionate side shine.

She is looking for that purrfect person who can give her the time and space she needs to adjust to her new home before being ready to build a relationship with her forever person.

Tonya will need to go to a home with a resident cat as they help her feel more confident. 😊

Looking to give a shy older female cat the gentle love and care she needs to feel safe?

Scarlett, this week's Extended Resident, is a three year old, 59 pound, terrier/border collie mix looking for a loving family to call her own.

Scarlett is a sweet but sensitive lady who prefers to take her time warming up to new people and places. Once she is comfortable, Scarlett shows off her affectionate nature and playful side. 🥰

Scarlett shows potential to live with dogs who, like her, prefer to co-exist and chill, rather than romp and play.

Here's some news to brighten up your weekend! This adoption update comes from Leanne. 👇

"We adopted a sweet kitten last week! You named her Overtime due to her being left outside your doors after hours. We renamed her Momo and she is the SWEETEST girl!

She immediately made herself right at home and doesn’t know a stranger! She’s also been amazing around our 10 month old son and is very patient with his grabby hands! Thanks so much for helping us bring our girl home!"

We're grateful to have people like the Leanne in our community. Thank you for giving Momo the second chance she deserves. 🧡

After retiring from 28 years in sales, Rob decided it was time to give back. Now, he has nine new furry coworkers who greet him with happy tail wags every time he arrives for his shift.

“I just love dogs! When I walk into Pod A, I’ve got nine dogs barking and nine tails wagging,” Rob said. “I know that they want to eat, they want to walk and a clean kennel is just around the corner. If they can see me as the guy who’s going to provide all of that, then my job is done.”

For Rob, volunteering is all about making a difference, one walk, treat and kennel at a time.

“I just feel good when I’m there. My goal is to add a bright spot to each dog’s day.”

Thank you, Rob, for bringing so much care and kindness to our dogs each week! 💙
