Meet Pineapple! 🍍🐾 The perfect blend of "independent queen" and "I am literally a 59lb-pound lap dog." Here is the lowdown on this sweet, sun-worshipping pup:

💌 Her love language is physical touch. If you stop petting her before she is done, she will politely request that you resume your duties.

👑 Independent Royalty: She has zero separation anxiety, is fully potty and crate-trained, and is perfectly content entertaining herself.

🥎 Hobbies Include: Professional sunbathing, chewing bones, and her love language is fetch!

🛋️ She is always down for an adventure, but equally thrilled to be a couch potato.

The Ideal Match: Pineapple has some spicy Cattle Dog instincts! She has a high prey drive, meaning she loves chasing squirrels 🐿️, and is currently working on her leash manners and building confidence around bikes and skateboards. She also prefers to be the solo superstar of the household—she wants to keep 100% of the spotlight and the cuddles all for herself! 🌟 She is looking for an adopter ready to continue her training and shower her with snacks, because she is not a picky eater!

Looking for a fetch partner, sunbathing buddy, and professional snuggler all wrapped in one? Pineapple is ready to find her forever home. Please email [email protected] to schedule a time to meet her!💛

From Foster to Forever🐾When Sawyer arrived as a scared 1-year-old pup with no known behavior history, potential adopters didn’t know what to expect. Thanks to a stay with a great foster family, we discovered how wonderful he is in a home. He let his sweet, goofy side show once he left the shelter. Armed with notes, photos, and insights from his foster stay, Sawyer returned to the shelter for a weekend meet-and-greet and was adopted the same day. Fostering doesn’t just give dogs a break from the shelter. It also reveals important personality information that dramatically boosts their chances of finding the right forever home.

Want to change a life like Sawyer’s? Join us at our upcoming event! Whether you’re interested in fostering or volunteering, we’d love to see you there!

🚨 UNIQUE QUEEN ALERT: Meet Emery 🚨

Looking for a standard, predictable cat? Keep scrolling. Emery is for the people who appreciate a Certified Quirky Girl with big personality and zero filters. She is a chaotic, beautiful masterpiece living her best life, and she comes with her own hilarious cheat codes:

🐈 The "Look But Don’t Touch" Rub: She’ll rub furiously against your legs at first, but it’s a tease! She loves affection eventually, but she demands a getting to know you period.

🧸 The Spice is a Lie: When stressed, she plays the tough guy. But with zero claws and only five teeth, she’s just a harmless, toothless teddy bear.

🐐 The Sound Effects: Her meows sound exactly like a goat, and her purrs sound like a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It’s 100% normal and 100% adorable.

🌿 A Massive Catnip Fiend: She eats it, rolls in it, and requires a steady, uncompromised supply of the good stuff.

🚫 Strictly Child-Free: Emery prefers an adults-only country club vibe. She will absolutely speak to the manager if a toddler enters her personal space.

The Real Scoop: Underneath her funny quirks, Emery is a soft, sweet, hilarious girl who just needs a calm household and some initial space. Once she settles in, she is the ultimate cozy cuddle buddy. Emery is currently in foster, so email us at [email protected] to set up an appointment to meet her.

🍊 Meet Tangerine! From the moment he met his foster, this 4-year-old, 11.7lb neutered boy has been the sweetest soul. He is a survivor who is healing beautifully after recovering from a pelvic fracture, and he can finally jump up to the windowsill pain-free! Tangerine is a total goofball who prefers belly rubs to head pets, loves to snooze in cozy closets, and has the tiniest meow for a big talker. He is a bit unsure about other cats right now, but he is in love with humans.

Could you give this resilient orange boy his forever home? Email us at [email protected] to set up an appointment to meet him🧡
