Charlie has mastered the art of staying cool - literally and figuratively. With years of wisdom under his whiskers, Charlie knows not to sweat the small stuff (or anything, really). He's a laid-back lounge expert who loves treats, scritchies and naps under the fan at the top of his cat tree.

Beat the heat this week and stop by the shelter to meet the coolest cat in town! We're open for adoptions 11am-6pm.

Socrates had the best time on his morning field trip today! Here is what his field tripper had to say about him!

"Hi there, it was so great to meet sweet Socrates today. He is such a cutie pie! 😍 Socrates was excited to go for a field trip and got right in the car. When we arrived at the park, he jumped out, ready to go. We had a nice quiet hike on the shady trail. We took some breaks along the way, and Socrates enjoyed observing and listening to the sounds of the forest. He was amazing on the leash and walking by my hip the entire time. Socrates was a rockstar when we passed other people. When we got back to the car, he jumped right in, and I gave him a treat. He gave me some thank you kisses. If you are looking for a right-hand man or best buddy, Socrates is your man. ♥️ He was wonderful! ♥️"

Thank you Pawsitivity Pet Services for taking Socrates out on a trip! We appreciate you thinking about the animals here at the shelter!
