🌊 Meet Zazu! 🌊

If happiness had four legs and a tail, it would probably look a lot like Zazu. 🩵

This handsome boy recently enjoyed a Doggy Date, and it was easy to see why everyone falls for him. He loved meeting new people, exploring new places, and, most of all, finding water! Watching him splash around with his big goofy grin was pure joy.

🐾 About Zazu:
• Approximately 3 years old
• Around 55 pounds
• Loves people and attention
• Enjoys walks, outings, and adventures
• Water enthusiast and professional splash champion 🌊
• Dog-friendly (meet and greet required)
• No cats, please

One thing to know about Zazu is that shelter life is tough on him. The noise, barking, and constant activity can be overwhelming, making it hard for visitors to see his true personality.

Outside of the shelter, though, Zazu shines. He’s playful, affectionate, adventurous, and happiest when he’s spending time with his people.

He’s been waiting for a home since December, and we’d love to see him finally get the happy ending he deserves. Could you be the one he’s been waiting for?

🩵🐾 Barnacle Boi had the best doggy date! 🩵🐾

This 7-year-old, 70-pound sweetheart spent his day doing what he loves most—having fun! From splashing in the pool to chasing tennis balls (and keeping them for himself, of course 😆), Barnacle Boi made the most of every minute.

Despite being a "senior" dog, Barnacle Boi still has plenty of energy and a playful spirit. He's curious, affectionate, and always ready to make new friends.

Watching him enjoy his day reminds us just how much he deserves a family of his own. A home where he can play fetch, cool off in the water, and spend his days surrounded by people who love him.

Could Barnacle Boi be the missing piece in your family? Come meet him and find out! 🏡🎾🐶

At 10 years old, Kugisaki is a beautiful ginger queen who’s ready to trade shelter life for a cozy home where she can enjoy her golden years. ✨

This sweet senior lady has plenty of love left to give and is hoping to find someone who will cherish her just as much as she’ll cherish them. Whether she’s lounging in a sunny window, keeping you company on the couch, or accepting well-deserved head scratches, Kugisaki is happiest when she’s near her people. 🏡☀️

Senior pets often get overlooked, but they make some of the most wonderful companions. They’re past the kitten chaos and full of quiet affection, gratitude, and charm. 💕

Kugisaki has spent 10 years perfecting the art of being a cat, and now she’s looking for a family to share her retirement with.

Could you be the one to give this sweet orange girl the loving home she deserves? Come meet Kugisaki and see why senior cats are so special. 🧡🐱
