Meet Mama Brownie!
This lovable, gentle girl is searching for her forever home, and she has so much affection to give. Mama Brownie is full of playful energy and would be happiest in a home with another dog who enjoys a good game of chase. She absolutely lights up when she has a canine companion by her side!

Beyond her playful side, Mama Brownie is also incredibly sweet, loyal, and eager to bond with her people. She’s the kind of dog who will curl up beside you after a fun day of play and make every moment feel special.

If you’re looking for a friendly, fun-loving companion—and your pup could use a new best friend—Mama Brownie might be the perfect addition to your family. She’s ready to bring love, joy, and plenty of tail wags into her new home!

Hamlet and Squeaky are a bonded pair that are looking for their forever home together! They love food and nibbling on their Timothy hay house. Hamlet likes to climb up onto the hidey house when breakfast is coming. They both like to squeak excitedly for food! Hamlet isn't quite as outgoing as his buddy with people, but he has just as much love to give. Both like to 'talk' to each other when one has been out of their enclosure and comes back in. They love vegetables, fruit, and of course, Timothy hay. ❤️

💛 Lady – our longest resident, a gentle couch potato looking for a peaceful retirement home.
💜 Charlene – a sweet, loyal pittie who’s ready for her second chance at a stable, loving life.

Senior pets have so much love to give—calmer energy, years of wisdom, and hearts full of gratitude.

🌙 Meet Moon Pie – The Midnight Snugglebug 🌙

Hi! I’m Moon Pie, a sleek all-black kitten with a mysterious charm and a heart full of love. I might look like a little shadow, but I shine bright when it comes to cuddles, purrs, and playful pounces.

I’m curious, graceful, and just a tiny bit mischievous (okay, maybe more than a bit!). I love sneaking up on my brother Cookie Butter during playtime, chasing crinkly toys, and finding the coziest spots to nap—preferably on your lap.

With me around, your days will be filled with magic, mischief, and moonlight cuddles. 🌌🐾
