Our local shelters offer more than 🐈🧡🐕🧡

Meet Albie & Bardo, a pair of adoptable, bonded ferret brothers! These 2-year-old bouncy boys are full of personality, super friendly, and LOVE to play together. Both Albie and Bardo love people and are good with dogs.

Interested, but need more information on what owning a ferret entails? Stop by our shelter to chat with one of our team members - we would be happy to share all of our ferret knowledge!

Albie and Bardo's application is available now online, or you can stop by our shelter 12-4pm (closed Mondays).

🚨 VERY URGENT MEDICAL FOSTER PLEA 🚨

8/2- Comments have been turned off. If you can help, please contact the shelter directly.*

We are urgently seeking an experienced medical foster for Goofy, whose skin conditions have been increasingly worsening. The stress of living in the shelter environment has made his health deteriorate at such an alarming rate.

Goofy was originally in a foster home, where he gained weight and his itchy skin improved. When it was in both Goofy and the foster family's best interest for Goofy to come back to the facility, he came back ready to find his forever home and we were all hopeful his loving personality would get him into a new home quickly.

Unfortunately, Goofy's condition has declined again at a very unexpected rate and he is in desperate need of a foster who is capable of handling medication and is available for vet appointments. Goofy's skin also needs very frequent attention as we work through his skin issues.

Goofy is not yet neutered (due to the medication he is currently on) and is utd on vaccines. He is very loving towards people and other pets and would fit best in a calmer foster home as he heals. Meet and greets with current dogs in the home are required before fostering.

For more information about Goofy or how to foster him, please contact us at 757-365-6318.n

So many ways to help our local shelters and rescues 🧡

Meet Zemo!

Zemo is a sweet and snuggly girl who traveled all the way from Maryland in search of a loving forever home. Since arriving in our care, her personality has truly blossomed. She loves giving staff hugs and makes the best biscuits during cuddle time.

This gentle lady is currently on a prescription diet to help her shed a few pounds, so we're hoping her future family will be as committed to her wellness journey as we are.

Zemo is FIV+, which means she has a weaker immune system and would thrive best in a home with other FIV+ kitties or calm cats who aren’t prone to scuffles. We’re not sure how she does with other animals, but we think a calm, older dog could be a good match.

Zemo thanks Purina for providing food for her and all her furry friends!

🎩 Groucho – The Mustached Mischief Maker! 🖤🤍

❤️With his dapper little mustache and bold personality, 17-week-old Groucho is ready to steal your heart (and maybe your socks). Born under a deck to a seasoned mama, this black-and-white cutie grew up playful, clever, and curious.

🥰 Groucho adores playtime—chasing feathers, pouncing on toy mice, zooming after springs, and scaling shelves like a true adventurer. Not bonded to his siblings, he’s looking for a forever home—ideally with another playful cat to wrestle and romp with!

🖤 When the zoomies wear off, Groucho becomes a pro napper—sometimes burrowed under blankets, sometimes flopped dramatically on top. He comes running for meals (Purina One canned is his fave!) and will gently take treats once he trusts you.

🤍 Groucho is sweet, expressive, and full of personality. He chirps, meows, and purrs like a little engine, and while he may be a tad shy at first, with love and patience, he’ll blossom into your loyal little comedian.

📍 Ready to give this mustached mischief-maker the home of his dreams?

One week down on renovations - how’s it going?

Overall, pretty great. Three dogs have been adopted from their foster homes, and their fosters have plans to come pick up new dogs - AMAZING. A bunch of dogs have gone on sleepovers that have turned into extended foster - WONDERFUL.

We’re busy daily with guests looking to help pets - it’s an honor to have their support.

Here’s the not so great part - in the past 14 days, our shelter has taken in 128 cats and dogs. You read that right - ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT. That’s madness. It’s untenable. We’ve lost ONE THIRD of our large dog housing, and dogs (and cats) just keep rolling in! Why? A lot of reasons. That’s why YOUR HELP is so urgently needed during this time. We need safe places for our medium/large dogs to go while they wait for adopters to find them.

Did you lose a dog? Come get it. Please. TWENTY-ONE dogs have come into the shelter the past two weeks as strays. If just half of those pets’ owners came to pick them up, it would make a positive HUGE impact on our shelter.

We still need you - right now.

(Pictured is Blizzard. He was surrendered this week, and he’s available for adoption!)
