✨Adoptable FOSTER Highlight! ✨

This little lady is hanging in a foster home while she waits for her forever home! Her foster family says🗣:

"Cali Girl is a sweet, chill girl finding her way in the world! She’s a professional smoocher — her kisses are her way of saying, “I’m so happy you’re mine!” She also LOVES the window seat in the car — road trips with her would be a blast!

🌱💨 Meet Pinto!

This bean is bursting with energy—he’s basically a pinto bean on rocket fuel! Always bouncing, zooming, and ready for action, Pinto keeps life anything but boring. He can be a bit rude when meeting new canine friends, so slow introductions are a must. Not sure about cats—let’s just say they might not handle his “bean-powered” antics!

🌱Pinto A462962 is a 1 year old, 49 pound Pitbull mix. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. He is currently FREE to adopt!

📍 Adoption hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12-5pm.

📝Let us tell you a story:

In early September, Chi Chi and Powder were abandoned when their owners were evicted. They were found locked in a kennel inside a filthy room, covered in f***s and urine, with no food or water. The smell was unbearable, and the dogs were severely underweight.

Animal Welfare stepped in, and thanks to basic food, water, and care, they quickly began to recover. Despite their past, they are gentle, affectionate, and love being near each other. The owners now face felony animal cruelty charges, and warrants are active for their arrest.

Chi Chi and Powder are ready for a second chance — a home where their bellies are full, their coats are clean, and they are loved forever.

These sweet dogs are looking for someone to give them the life they deserve

💜🥳 PUPdate: ChiChi ADOPTED!

💜Powder A462767 is a 2 year old, 50 pound Pitbull mix, . He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.

🤝Both are currently FREE to adopt — together or separately — and they deserve the happy ending they were once denied.

📍 Adoption hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12-5pm.

🐾 Adoption Fees WAIVED for Our Longest Residents! 🐾

We currently have 6️⃣ amazing dogs who have been waiting for their forever homes since September. To help them find the love they deserve, our Superintendent has waived their adoption fees now through November 11th!

Take a look at their sweet faces and help us spread the word — sharing their stories could be the reason one of them goes home!

📍 Adoption hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12-5pm.

🥳 PUPdate: ADOPTED!

Remember Bones?

We featured this handsome boy back on October 7th, hoping his forever family would see him… but sadly, Bones is still here waiting.

Bones came to us as a stray on September 20th after being found by one of our ACOs. He was so happy to be found — he hopped right into the passenger seat and rode shotgun all the way to the shelter with a big smile on his face.

But now, 47 days later, that sparkle in his eyes is starting to fade. It’s hard watching such a social boy lose a little bit of hope while he waits.

Bones is a total sweetheart — he’s great with other dogs, adores people, knows “sit,” and loves going for walks. He’s the full package!

▶️▶️If you can’t adopt, consider signing him up for a Slumber Party (overnight or weekend foster). A little break from the shelter could mean the world to him.

Together we can help Bones find his happy ending.

🦴Bones A463212 is a 2 year old, 64 pound Lab mix. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Bones is currently FREE TO ADOPT!

📍 Adoption hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12-5pm.
