😍 Meet Lucille 😍
Lucille is a stunning 3 year old Savannah mix, but don’t let her looks fool you; Savannah mixes are not your typical housecat. These cats are known for their intelligence, energy, and wild-at-heart personalities, and Lucille is no exception! She’ll keep you on your toes, entertained, and definitely keep you talking, but she’ll also need a family who understands what comes with owning a cat like her.
💥Before applying, here’s what you should know about Lucille:
🐾 High Energy - she'll need plenty of space, enrichment, and interactive play to stay happy
💬 Extremely Talkative - she will tell you exactly what she’s thinking
🐱 Prefers Being the Star - Lucille would do best as the only cat
🧠 Highly Intelligent - expect her to open cabinets, figure things out, and outsmart you from time to time
Lucille may not be the right fit for someone looking for a laid-back, independent lap cat. But if you’re searching for a companion who’s smart, social, and full of personality, she just might be your perfect match! If you think your home is right for Lucille, fill out a cat adopter survey with the link below to let us know.

These babies have been waiting so long for their happily-ever-after 💔 Every day they spend here is another day without a family. Will you be the reason they finally get to go home? 🥺

Coming Soon! 👀
Thomas, Tobey, and Taffy. 🐾🐾🐾
These 7 month old bulldog mix siblings just arrived at the Shelter of Hope and are settling in and receiving routine medical care (vaccines, dewormer, preventatives, desexing).
They are shy, but are already learning about all the wonderful things our shelter dogs get while they look for their forever homes. Treats, toys, walks, snuggles etc!
They will be available for visitors next week and we hope they don't have to wait too long for their forever families to find them!!

Adoptable Target 🎯 had a great outing to Relative Risk Brewing Company 🍺 for the afternoon. He met up with adoptable Mike for a while, shared some treats and shade, and met a bunch of new best friends!!

We love opportunities to get the dogs out and about in the community! It gives them some amazing enrichment and socialization while allowing us to explain our mission and be seen in the community!
