👕 Fall Fest shirts are officially the look of the season—huge thanks to our friends at PUNCH for designing yet another super cool RAL event tee!
🍁 Preorder now, then wear yours to celebrate with us on Saturday, September 27 at RAL’s Fall Fest!

We’re throwing a party with:
🎶 live music
🌮 food trucks
🛍️ local vendors
📸 and the big reveal of our Top 12 Calendar Contest winners

We’ll be in the final push for donations right up until 7pm that evening, and if you’ve followed the contest before, you know—those last hours can bring big shakeups in the rankings. When the clock strikes 7, we’ll announce the Top 12 and reveal the total raised to help pets at RAL.

It’s the perfect way to wrap up two months of fundraising and celebrate every pet (and person!) who’s been part of it.

🚨 Litter Alert! 🚨

Our cat and kitten fosters are heroes—opening their homes, hearts, and hands to pets in need. To support them, we make sure they’re stocked with the essentials… like litter. A lot of litter.

🐾 Want to help?

You can donate directly from our wishlist and make life a little easier (and cleaner!) for the fosters caring for cats and kittens until they’re adopted.

🌸 Sweet Pea is a wobbly little weirdo with a lot to say, a lot to love, and absolutely zero chill about being left out of the fun.

She has a mild neurological condition that gives her a bouncy, bunny-hop walk and the occasional potty accident when she gets excited. But don’t let that scare you off—Sweet Pea is not in pain, not getting worse, and not looking for sympathy. She’s looking for snacks, snuggles, and a home where she can be her full quirky self.

✅ Rides like a champ
✅ Loves other dogs
✅ Excellent yard zoomies
❗️Will yell if she’s not invited

While at RAL she has spent time in foster care with our shelter vet and has charmed everyone she's met. Think you’ve got the right mix of patience, flooring, and appreciation for dramatic little goblins? Sweet Pea is ready.

🧡 Come meet her at RAL!

Our shelter vet looked at Ernst and said, “That’s a Labubu.”
And honestly? We can’t unsee it.

🧙‍♂️ Enigmatic stare? Check.
✨ Probably grants wishes, but only weird ones? Absolutely.
🌲 Looks like he guards a haunted forest but also wants snacks? Triple check.

What do you think, is Ernst just a cat… or a mythical Labubu in disguise?

Come meet this cryptid king at RAL 👑

🐾 Foster Friday: Slurpy Edition 🐾

Slurpy is living his best life in foster, and we think it’s time he found his forever couch (and forever belly rub partner).

💤 Sleeps like a champ
🎲 Loves joining in on board game night
🧡 Crate trained, housetrained, and heart-meltingly sweet
🐕 Gets along great with other dogs or can fly solo
🎬 Professional movie marathon cuddler

This happy little guy is your new built-in best friend. Whether you’re headed out for a walk or settling in for a nap, Slurpy’s down for it all.

Yes, this is a Taylor Swift engagement meme.
Yes, we’re jumping on the trend.
No, we’re not sorry.

Because when someone fosters a ringworm kitten?
When a spicy cat gets adopted??
When a monthly donor signs up???

That’s our Travis Kelce head-hold moment. 💅🧡

🍄 Mushroom is ready to bloom 🍄

After hip surgery and weeks of physical therapy, Mushroom is still all smiles. This tough cookie has been through a lot, but he hasn’t lost his puppy joy. He’s playful, sweet, and soaking up every bit of love that comes his way.

Mushroom’s favorite things:

🐾 Zooming around the backyard
💦 Jumping in and out of the kiddie pool
🪢 Playing tug of war
🧡 Snuggling on the couch
🐕 Hanging out with other dogs

He’s still doing physical therapy here at RAL, but what he really needs now is space to move and a soft place to land. Whether it’s a foster home or an adopter ready for a happy, hoppy companion, Mushroom just wants someone to share his next chapter.

📍 Apply to adopt at ral.org/dogs
📧 To foster, email [email protected]
