Fork looks *damn* good on a couch, and he knows it 👀😍

But Fork doesn't have a couch of his own yet :(

You got a little extra room on yours, for a sweet boy who loves everyone?

Cheerio wants you to know that EVEN THOUGH he can't stand up in the deep end of the pool he is NOT. SHORT.

So if the reason y'all aren't fostering or adopting him is because you've got a shorty short bias, he is NOT. SHORT.

And his grandmama was NOT a pug. Because obviously, he'd be SHORT if she were, and he's not short.

[could someone tip a little of this water out so he doesn't go full under? 👀]

Poor little Sebastian is STUCK in a cage in intake because there is NO space on the adoption floor because there are TOO MANY kittens.

STOP. IT.

This is Burty.

Have you ever?!?

Poor Burty originally came to us in April as a TNR through our spay/neuter clinic, but he was a little old man mess - rotten teeth and arthritis and matted fur and scarred eyes, ooof.

And anyway, who could put this heartthrob back outside?!?

But we had to get him over all his ailments, so Burty only recently moved onto the adoption floor.

And now that he has ... line up ladies, we found yo' man. 🥰😍

Burty is estimated to be about 15 years old, and does get a little summin' summin' for his achy joints. But other than that, this boy is ready for some livin'

Juneau sees dead people 👀

Actually, all Juneau saw was ANOTHER cat get adopted from his room that WASN'T. HIM!

The indignity.

If you're gonna visit room 13, and you're not a ghost, could you PLEASE take this handsome, possibly clairvoyant cat home with you already??

Being a cat shouldn’t be this hard.

Meet Weird Al. As you can see, he is REALLY struggling. He’s beyond stressed and is so scared. He needs a home where he can be comfortable and relax. He just hasn’t been given the chance due to being FIV+ and FelV+. He deserves just as much of a chance as any other cat. Could you be the one for him?

Come see him now, he deserves all of the love he can get.

Y'all. This dog.

Maisie is WONDERFUL. You simply CANNOT not love Maisie.

She has an underbite that gives her a perma-pout. She LOVES belly rubs. She is the SNUGGLIEST dog ever. She loves anyone who pays attention to her. She would rather sit by your side than do absolutely anything else - if she has a choice between a treat and your lap, it's your lap, every time.

She is an absolute a**hole to other dogs, we're not gonna lie. It's why she hasn't been IMMEDIATELY snatched up by one of our staffers or volunteers, because we all ADORE Maisie girl.

But if you can only have one dog - THIS is the dog.

Poor Pig Pen thought his life was made.

He spent a wonderful year-and-a-half with his beloved dad, getting in lots of snuggle time and being a beloved family pet, like every dog should be
