Apple decided to be a hotdog for Halloween, despite there being no dachshund in this pup 🤣 (well, maybe in the 8% supermutt 🤷‍♀️)

Apple is an 8 week old foxhound mix. His mama is approx 45 pounds and we anticipate him being around the same, maybe a little larger. Apple is your typical fun playful puppy but hes also a cuddle bug too! Toys are the best thing in the world and getting to explore outside and use his nose makes for the best day ever.

*Hound dogs can be vocal and follow their nose so always leashed or in a secure fenced yard when outside is a must*

Lavender is a 3 month old long-haired tabby with the personality of a tiny chaos gremlin!

Lavender is outgoing, adventurous, endlessly entertaining, and usually the first to investigate whatever trouble her kitten friends are getting into (or, more likely, the one who started it!).

This fluffy little goofball has a big personality packed into a tiny body. She's independent enough to march to the beat of her own drum, but she's also wonderfully social and loves being part of the action. Whether she's exploring, playing with her kitten buddies, or making everyone laugh with her ridiculous antics, Lavender makes sure there's never a dull moment.

Lavender is looking for a family that appreciates a little mischief, a lot of personality, and a whole lot of fluff! Since she's still a kitten, she'll need to be adopted with another kitten or into a home with a furry friend

🎶 You've got a friend in me.... 🎵
Have you ever seen anything cuter than a kitten and a puppy snuggling together? 🥺

Bacon (2.5 month old male kitten) and Patty (3 month old female pup) are both available for adoption, separately, but how cute would it be if they were adopted together!

These 2 make fast friends with everyone they meet!

Once Agnes decides youre not spooky, she transforms into the sweetest little cuddle monster! She'll soak up all the pets, snuggle in close, and may even get so happy that she starts drooling! Forget magic potions—this girl has a special kind of love spell!

🐾 Gets along wonderfully with cats and dogs too

Agnes would love a forever home with furry friends to help her continue coming out of her shell. Give this sweet girl a little patience, and you'll discover a love that's truly magical!

Don't let this little sweetheart vanish into the Halloween shadows! Apply to adopt Agnes and give her the safe, loving home!

Looking for a little magic this Halloween? Meet Poe, a 5 month old fluffy black kitten who is ready to cast a spell on your heart!

His gorgeous black coat and hints of bronzy coloring around his face, Poe is serving up some serious glamour. Who needs a magic potion when you're naturally this fabulous?!

But don't let his mysterious black-cat beauty fool you! Poe is as sweet as pumpkin pie. 🥧 He's affectionate, easygoing, and loves spending time with his favorite humans. He's always up for a little playful mischief but is just as happy curling up for some cozy snuggles.

He is also getting along wonderfully with cats and dogs in his foster home.

Unfortunately dapper Spike has found his way back in our care. Adopted just a month ago, his owner had some unexpected health issues arise and needed to return him. So this distinguished gentleman is looking for a home again.
Spike is 9 years old but hes got a lot of s***k left!

He’s loves toys, fetch, smaller dog friends, and—most importantly—his people. He’s not a Velcro dog…he’s a super-glue dog!

Like any aging pup, he comes with a little maintenance—dry eye and allergies that just need some extra TLC.

And don’t worry about owning a clock—he WILL let you know when it’s dinner time.

If Mona Lisa could be anything for Halloween, she would be Leonardo Da Vinci! 😏

Mona Lisa is a super sweet and affectionate cat. Still young but past the "wild kitten" stage, Mona makes an excellent companion! She loves her people and will flop over belly-up in front of you to ask for attention. Whether she's rolling around for pets or following you around the house, Mona Lisa is always happy to soak up love from her humans

Shes doing well with other cats in her foster home and dogs with proper introductions.

🎶 They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky...
They're altogether ooky... and altogether ADOPTABLE! 🎶

🖤 Meet the Addams Family! 🖤

What better way to celebrate National Cat Day than by introducing FOUR adorable, adoptable kittens who are ready to bring a little spooky sweetness into your life?!

At just 2 months old, these little characters are full of personality!

Wednesday: Brown tabby female, A little shy at first, but once she warms up, she's a sweet, playful girl who loves pets and romping around with her siblings!

Morticia: Gray tabby female, Sweet, s***ky, and full of energy! She may be a teensy bit bashful initially, but she's quick to turn on her purr motor and soak up affection.

Pugsley: Black male, Dark, handsome, and dangerously adorable! This mini house panther is equal parts playful troublemaker and loving cuddle bug.

Gomez: Gray tabby male, The ultimate love bug! He'll come running to greet you and starts purring the SECOND you pet him. Seriously, this boy is obsessed with love!

All four are doing great with other cats and dogs and would make wonderful additions to loving homes!

This is not a trick- unfortunately we will no longer be at the farmers market this Saturday, but for good reason!

Many of our pups now have adoption meets set and its too cold now for our kitties to sit out for hours, but our fosters are still ready to set private meets so be sure to apply if you're ready to adopt ❤️

Want to help us save more dogs or cats? Sign up to foster!
