Meet Zinc!

Zinc came into rescue from an overcrowded shelter up north with his brother, Tungsten, and his sisters Platinum and Tin. Zinc was born at the end of March 2025.

Zinc is a calm, chill kitten perfect for summer. ? Zinc enjoys pets from his foster parents and will seek out affection, but mostly he enjoys hanging out with his siblings. Zinc loves chasing his foster brothers and getting into trouble! After wrestling with his brothers, Zinc’s favorite activity is hoarding toys and playing keep-away.

Zinc has been fostered in a quiet adult only home with no dogs. He would do best in a home with older children and dogs that are respectful of his space. Due to his playful nature, Zinc should be adopted to a home with another kitten or young cat.

Adopting a cat from our rescue includes several important health services. The adoption fee of $100 per cat covers spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV testing, and age-appropriate vaccinations to ensure the health and well-being of the cat.

Lucy's Story

Lucy is a Shepard mix (possibly mixed with Collie) that is approximately 10 years old. She is around 65lbs. She and her sister Scarlett were surrendered to us after their owners suddenly passed away. She and her sister, Scarlett, had their world turned upside down after that. She is an adorable, laid-back older girl who wants to cuddle and relax with you; she will follow you around for support. She will warm up to you instantly.

She knows basic commands, does not jump, and wants to be your best friend. We want her and Scarlett to be adopted together, but we understand that may not be possible. They are all that each other has. They have adjusted to a different life without their owners and are doing well with their foster. Lucy can be a little particular about her dog friends, but has gotten along without issue in 2 settings with multiple dogs of all sizes. Lucy does not really have an “in between”; either she likes a dog, or she doesn't. She is easy-going for the most part, however.

We do not know how she is with children, but we would guess she wouldn't have an issue, since she loves everyone she meets. Older kids around 9+ would probably be best, given their size. Cats are unknown and need a slow introduction; to our knowledge, they have never been around cats. She walks well on a leash. A secure, fenced yard is required so she can run and play. We were told she can be an “opportunist” if a gate is left open, she is going out of it. She does not run out the door or anything like that, but if left to her own devices, she may slip a collar or harness on a tie-out and decide to explore on her own

Lucy is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $175. If Lucy and Scarlett are adopted together, it will be $300 for both.

Meet Scarlett!

Scarlett is a beautiful Shepherd mix, approximately 5 years old and around 60 pounds. She came to us alongside her sister, Lucy, after their beloved owners suddenly passed away. Their world was turned upside down, but Scarlett has shown nothing but sweetness and resilience as she adjusts to this new chapter.

Scarlett is an adorable, laid-back girl who loves nothing more than cuddling up and relaxing with her people. She warms up quickly and truly just wants to be your best friend. She knows basic commands, has lovely manners, and does not jump. She walks well on a leash and enjoys spending time by your side.

Scarlett and Lucy share a very special bond, and our hope is to see them adopted together—they really are all each other has. We understand that may not always be possible, but they have been adjusting well in foster care. Scarlett has done wonderfully in two different multi-dog settings with dogs of all sizes. In fact, at a sitter’s home, her best buddy was a tiny Chihuahua (her little “boyfriend”!).

We’re unsure how Scarlett is with cats, as she hasn’t been around them to our knowledge, so slow introductions would be necessary. While we don’t have direct experience with children, she loves everyone she meets. Due to her size, a home with older children (around 9+) would likely be best.

A secure, fenced yard is required so Scarlett can safely run and play. We’re told she can be a bit of an “opportunist” if a gate is left open. She doesn’t bolt out doors, but if given the chance—such as slipping a collar or harness on a tie-out—she may decide to go exploring.

Scarlett is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative.

Adoption fee: $250
$350 for both Scarlett and Lucy if adopted together

Meet Dove!

Dove is a sweet torbie girl with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. She came into rescue from an overcrowded shelter up north with her brothers, Finch and Flicker, and her sister, Chickadee. Dove can be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her warm personality really shines.

This little lady loves to burn off her kitten energy by chasing other kittens, pouncing on toys, and even hunting the occasional bug. She’s a big fan of treats—especially when they come in fun puzzle games that keep her mind engaged. When playtime winds down, Dove happily settles in for pets and affection, making her a wonderful mix of playful and cuddly.

Dove has been fostered in an adult-only home, but she would likely do well with respectful children and dogs who understand her boundaries. Because she’s such a social girl, she’ll need a home with another kitten or a young, playful cat.

Adopting a cat from our rescue includes several important health services. The adoption fee of $175 covers neuter, FIV/FeLV testing, and age-appropriate vaccinations to ensure the health and well-being of the cat.

Meet Arnie!

Arnie is a handsome gray tabby (DSH) with a birthday of 6/1/25. He was found in the Pontiac area and never reclaimed, and now he’s ready to find a forever home of his own.

Arnie is a playful, fun-loving guy who enjoys spending time with other cats. He can be a little nervous around dogs, so a dog-free home (or one with a very calm pup) would be best. Because he can be a bit shy at times, he’d do best with children 10 and older who understand how to be gentle and patient.

If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion, Arnie might be your perfect match!

Meet Lira!

Lira is a beautiful dilute tortoiseshell tabby, approximately 3 years old, who has just finished raising her five kittens and is now ready to enjoy life as someone’s spoiled companion.

She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and people-focused. Lira loves attention and happily soaks up pets and companionship from her humans.

Right now, Lira is protective and defensive around other cats while she is still caring for her babies — a very normal mama behavior. Once her kittens are fully weaned and her hormones settle, her feelings toward other cats may change. She listens well and can be redirected quickly, even when she gets a little worked up.

Lira has a playful side too! She enjoys wrestling with her kittens, zooming around the house, and chasing teaser toys. With time and proper introductions, she may enjoy having a feline friend to play with.

After being such a devoted mom, Lira is ready for a loving forever home where she can finally be the one getting all the attention she deserves.

Meet Biscuit!

Biscuit is a shy and timid kitty who is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and secure. New situations can be overwhelming for her, so she will need a patient adopter willing to give her the time and space she needs to build trust at her own pace.

Biscuit absolutely loves other young cats and gains confidence from having a feline friend around, so a home with another friendly young cat would be ideal for her. She would do best in an adult-only home without children.

Biscuit does have a sensitive GI system and will need to stay on a special diet to keep her feeling her best. When she becomes stressed, she may occasionally p**p outside the litter box, so she will need an understanding adopter committed to helping her feel safe and settled.

With patience, routine, and a peaceful environment, Biscuit has the potential to blossom into a sweet and devoted companion..

Meet Claus!

Claus is a beagle mix born 7-5-21. He is up to date on shots, neutered and microchipped.

Claus' owner passed away, so Claus and his brother were sent to a shelter, which is where we pulled him from. He came not knowing much about being a dog.
He didn't even know what outside was. Claus doesn't do well with other dogs for very long, so it's probably best for him to be an only dog. He is crate trained but will have an occasional accident in the house. Claus will need to go outside more often to keep his training going. A fenced yard would be best for him.

Claus' adoption fee is $250. If you are interested in adopting Claus, please complete our online application at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BBPR/Dog

Meet Molly!

Molly is a female pit mix born approximately 12-26-24. She came from an overcrowded shelter where she was dropped with her sibling at just 6 wks old.

Molly loves to play with her toys and the other dogs in her foster home. We are working on Molly's potty training. She will go potty once outside, but she won’t tell you when she has to go. Molly would do best in a home without small children.

Molly is spayed, up to date on shots and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in Molly, please complete an online application at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BBPR/Dog
