Meet Grr (13136)

She may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, she’s a calm, loyal companion who loves gentle affection and hanging out by your side.

Grr is currently in foster getting a break from the shelter, but she’s been waiting for her forever home since last summer.

She enjoys her routines, snacks on her kibble in peace, and would thrive in a calm home where she can blossom at her own pace.

📩 To learn more about Grr, contact her foster: bit.ly/Grr13136

Adoption fees are WAIVED May 1–17 thanks to our Bissell promotion!

🐰💛 Meet Ellory — a gentle little soul just looking for a soft place to land.⁠
⁠
Ellory is a sweet and confident bunny. She's litter trained and loves to be pet (rather roughly actually). She gives kisses and after you've given her lots of attention she'll celebrate by running, binkying, and licking her favorite pillow. She has super active spurts in the mornings and a couple times during the evening. She loves to throw around toys and arrange her area just the way she wants it.⁠
⁠
Ellory is currently being rehomed through Home to Home, which means you get the chance to learn directly from their current family about their personality, routine, and all the little quirks that make them special. This kind of rehoming helps pets transition more comfortably and keeps them out of already crowded shelters.⁠
⁠
Ellory is ready for a fresh start—could that be with you?⁠
