Meet Casper, the very friendly kitten! 👻

This little ghost is anything but spooky — he’s all sweetness and snuggles! At just 2.5 months old, Casper is a sweet, playful kitten with a soft purr and a curious nature. While he has an independent streak, he enjoys being nearby—whether he’s chasing a toy or just quietly hanging out.

Casper loves spending time with his kitten friends and is always up for some fun. He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and makes a wonderful companion once he feels comfortable.

He’s great with kids, dogs, and other cats, and would do wonderfully in a home that appreciates a kitten who’s both curious and calm, playful and peaceful.

🎃🐾 Ranger 👻🧡

This 1.5-year-old pittie boy is no trick — he’s all treat! 🍬 Ranger is a fun-loving, goofy pup who’s bursting with energy and ready to tag along on every adventure. Whether it’s chasing autumn leaves or joining you for a spooky stroll, Ranger is always up for some tail-wagging fun!

Ranger is house-trained, great with kids, and attended a board and train program where he learned his best manners. He’d love an adopter who will keep practicing his skills — and reward him with belly rubs and treats, of course! 🦴

Ranger does well with other dogs and even cats in home. In fact his foster thinks he would love a doggy sibling

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick to light up your Halloween season — and every season after — Ranger is your guy! 🕸️💀

Let the adventures begin! 🚀🧡

Maggie is a 3 year old Newfoundland with the sweetest soul and all the classic Newfie charm (yes, that includes being a professional slobber machine).

She adores cuddling up with cats and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. She’s still brushing up on her leash-walking skills, but she is trying hard every day!

Maggie was found as a stray in very rough shape, with her coat badly matted. She had to be shaved down, which gives her a bit of a funny look right now—but don’t worry, her beautiful fluffy coat is already growing back!

Because of some likely malnutrition when she was younger, Maggie’s front feet are a bit flat. This may mean she’s prone to developing arthritis earlier in life, so her future family should be prepared to support her comfort as she ages.

Looking for a loyal sidekick who will be your shadow, cuddle buddy, and personal cheerleader? Meet Poppy — your soon-to-be stage five clinger in the best way possible!

This 6 month old cutie was rescued from the streets and has fully embraced the good life in foster care. She’s discovered that toys are amazing, snacks are essential, and being loved is her absolute favorite pastime.

Poppy is a vocal, squeaky little chatterbox, always letting you know when it’s time for cuddles or treats. She’s happiest perched on your lap… or, if she had it her way, tucked right under your skin for maximum closeness.

A true happy-go-lucky girl, Poppy adores people and gets along wonderfully with both cats and dogs. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Poppy is the one for you.

💔 Desperate Plea for Louie 💔

Louie has already survived the hardest chapter of his life — but now he needs you to help him write the happy ending he deserves.

When we first met 5-year-old Louie, he was skin and bones. With time, care, and love, Louie was slowly nursed back to health — and now his big, goofy, lovebug personality shines brighter than ever.

Louie is loyal, affectionate, and truly just wants to be someone’s #1. He soaks up attention like sunshine and will follow your lead wherever life takes you. 🐾

💙 Louie is searching for his forever home, but until that day comes, he’s also in urgent need of a foster. He’s ready to give his heart — he just needs a couch (and a human) to call his own.

📩 Apply to foster or adopt Louie and help him finally find the family he’s been waiting for.
