💙Turtle and Capuchin are the last of the litter looking for their Happily Ever After! 💙

💚Both of these boys are 3 months old and their Mom is a Dachshund and Pug mix. We don’t know what Dad is but we expect these pups to weigh between 30-40 lbs. 💚

💜Turtle has the short legs while Capuchin is a bit longer legged. Both boys are social and great pups and are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and dewormed.💜

💛We would love to get these boys into a home this weekend so please share and help them get seen! 💛

If you would like to meet one of these boys please follow the link 🔗 in the comments to our adoption application.

Bella & Tori are still available! These girls have been through so much together, but are still so wonderful and loving. Please consider applying to come and meet them 😍

💗💗 Bella & Tori 💗💗

Bella and Tori are a deeply bonded pair of sisters around 4–5 years old who are looking for a calm, loving home together.

These two have been through a lot of change recently. They were originally adopted together as kittens and spent their entire lives together with the same owner. Sadly, after their owner passed a few weeks ago, they had to come back to the shelter. 💔

The transition has been understandably difficult for them both. In the beginning were unsure and a little shut down while trying to make sense of a completely new environment after years of stability. It was difficult to find a food they would eat, but after being in contact with their former cat-sitter, we learned they ate Fancy Feast brand foods. Once we were able to get some of that, they finally began eating more.

Keeping them together is non-negotiable, as their bond is a major source of comfort for both girls. After everything they’ve been through, they’ll likely do best in a quieter home where they can continue to decompress and build confidence together. They may not be “instant connection” cats right now, but they become incredibly rewarding companions who seek out comfort and closeness 🥰

🔗 If interested in adopting, you can apply online anytime (link in the comments).

✨ Or you can stop by the shelter any day we are open (closed Tuesdays) between 12–4pm to fill out an application in person.

🪻Are you looking for your right hand man? (Or gal)🪻

💜Nova is sure to fit the bill! This girl is 11 months old, 22 lbs and a Jack Russel mix! She loves people and playing and other dogs! She will need a home with no cats as she is too excited about them. 💜

🪁Nova would make a great adventure dog as she is confident, curious and brave and has the energy to keep up! 🪁

💜Nova knows sit, and takes treats gently. She is housebroken and very smart! 💜

🪻Nova will do well in a home with children and other dogs that don’t mind her exuberance. 🪻

💜Nova spent the night with a foster for a break from the shelter. She did great with their 2 dogs, walked well on a leash and slept quietly throughout the night. 💜

🪁Nova is waiting for her new best friend. Could that be you? 🪁

If you would like to meet Nova please follow the link 🔗 in the comments to our adoption application.
