Foster or foster-to-adopt home needed!

Snoop is a 10-month-old, 38-pound pup who's been waiting for his forever family since he arrived at the shelter as a 3-month-old stray. He's a great medium size with a fun, outgoing, and playful personality!

Snoop is well-socialized with people and other dogs of all sizes. He doesn't seem to mind cats, either. For a young pup, he's medium energy and would love a family who will play, explore, and make him part of their everyday adventures. He seems to really enjoy kids! After spending most of his puppyhood in a shelter, he's more than ready to find a home to call his own. He's healthy and already neutered. Because he hasn't grown up in a home, he will need patience and support in potty training.

If you can give a good boy in need a home, please fill out an application for Snoop.

Meet Martin!

Martin may have been rescued off the streets, but you'd never guess it. From the moment he was picked up, he’s acted like someone’s pet (but sadly an owner never came for him). This happy-go-lucky boy loves everyone he meets, gets along great with other dogs, and absolutely lives for the water. If you have a pond, lake, pool, or even a sprinkler, you'll instantly become his favorite person!

At about 1.5 years old and 40 pounds, Martin is the perfect adventure buddy. He's neutered, heartworm negative, and ready for a foster or foster-to-adopt home. We can't say for sure if he's potty-trained, but he does keep his kennel clean. Whether you're going for a walk or relaxing at home, Martin is just happy to be by your side.

If you're looking for a sweet, social pup with a love for life (and water!), Martin is your guy.

We've been together since the day we were born, and we're a bonded pair who need to find our forever home together. We bring each other comfort, confidence, and companionship, and we need to be adopted together!

KIRK: Hi, I’m Kirk! I’m 11 years young, but don’t let my age fool you—I still have plenty of curiosity and charm to share. I’m the kind of cat who likes to explore every corner of the house, check in on what my people are doing, and make sure I don’t miss out on any of the action. I’m a friendly, independent guy who enjoys the best of both worlds. I love spending time with my humans, soaking up gentle pets, and keeping an eye on the birds and squirrels from my favorite window. But I’m also perfectly happy entertaining myself or curling up in a cozy spot when it’s time for a nap. One of my favorite places to play and relax is my tunnel—it’s the perfect hideaway!

I’ve got two features that make me extra special: my long, striking white whiskers and the adorable black outline around my nose. They give me a one-of-a-kind look that’s just as unique as my personality.

KRAMER: Hi there, I’m Kramer! At 11 years young, I've mastered the art of being the perfect companion. Don't let my age fool you—I love exploring the house, checking in on my people, and following them from room to room just to see what they're up to.

My favorite thing in the world is getting pets. When I'm especially happy, I'll roll over to show you my belly and start making biscuits at the same time—it's my way of saying, "Life is pretty wonderful!" I also like to talk to my humans. I can hold a pretty good conversation.

When it's time to relax, you'll usually find me curled up on a soft blanket or perched on my cat tree, where I can keep an eye on everything happening around the house. I also love watching the world go by from the window and soaking up all the sights outside.

Collin needs a foster or foster-to-adopt home! Can you help?

Poor Collin was tossed over the fence of a shelter one night. Not only was he in need of heartworm treatment, but he also needed surgery for luxating patellas. Now that he's had both, this little survivor is ready to spend the rest of his days being loved and nurtured by a forever family.

Collin is 2 years old and a nice medium size at 25 lbs. He's a mellow, lower energy pup and doesn't have any quirks to speak of. He loves to be next to his person and makes an excellent cuddle buddy. He is potty trained and kennel trained. He is 100% fine with kids and did well with them coming up to him and loving on him at a fundraiser. He's dog-friendly, too, and does well in group play scenarios.

Our rescue partner says there are not enough wonderful adjectives to describe Collin. If you'd like to give fostering a try, he'd be an easy first. Or if you're looking for an all-around good boy to add to your family, you'd be lucky to have this guy!

Please fill out an application if you want to give Collin a home. 🐾

I’m a gentle, affectionate kitty who loves the quieter things in life. Chin and ear scratches are my favorite, and I’ll give your hand a sweet little nudge when I’m ready for more. I’m not a fan of being picked up, so I’d do best in a home with older, respectful kids who understand that I enjoy affection on my own terms.

I get along well with calm, easygoing cats and dogs who know how to give a cat her space. However, a home where I’m the only 4 legged family member would be best for me. Most days, you’ll find me relaxing in my favorite window-side cat tower, watching the world go by, enjoying cozy naps, or gently playing with my toys.

Abbott (left) and Costello (right) are 9-month-old boston terriers in need of foster or foster-to-adopt homes. They are NOT bonded and can go to separate homes.

What you see in this picture is how Abbott and Costello spent their lives until help came along. A backyard breeder kept them outdoors in a crate, no matter the weather. In searing heat and pouring rain, this was their lives.

Abbott and Costello are ready for bigger and better things! They are good with all people, including kids. They're also good with other dogs. We don't know how they are with cats.

If you can give one (or both) of them a home, please fill out an application.

Hi, I’m Owl – a gentle, thoughtful kitten with a curious mind and a playful side that comes out once I feel comfortable. I’m smart, observant, and surprisingly good at solving little challenges. One day, my human wrapped my favorite monkey toy around a chair leg with its Velcro paws. Instead of giving up, I carefully worked those paws apart one by one until I set my toy free. I like to think of myself as a clever problem-solver.

I get along wonderfully with other cats, children, and adults. Having a feline friend is especially important to me, so I’m looking for a home with another kitty—ideally one of my siblings—so I’ll always have a buddy to play, cuddle, and grow up with. I’d love to be adopted with my brother, Lark, if possible.

Zander is a 1.5-year-old, 15-lb. Yorkie/mix available for adoption. 🐾

Zander is a very timid dog, but he is starting to open up in his foster home. He has gone from spending time alone in corners to sometimes joining his foster dad on the couch. He also opens up around dogs he knows and will play with them. He previously lived with six other small dogs. Cat compatibility is unknown. Zander is fully crate trained, and potty training is a work in progress. He does fine on leash but will pull sometimes.

If you're interested in Zander and can provide a patient home where he can continue to become more comfortable and confident, please fill out a no-obligation application so you can get to know him better!

Hi, I’m Latte! When I first arrived, I wasn’t quite sure about people yet. I liked to observe from a safe distance and take things slowly. These days, though, I’ve discovered the joys of the good life: snacks, warm sunbeams, and hanging out near my favorite humans, my foster family!

I have a tiny “quack” that I use when I want attention, and I love weaving around legs like a squeaky little car wash. I’m still learning that hands can be nice, but I’m proud to say I sometimes give gentle “pets” of my own once I feel comfortable.

I’m a calm, low-maintenance girl who gets along well with other mellow cats, so a home with other kitties would be purrfect for me! My favorite hobbies include watching birds and squirrels from a sunny window and enjoying peaceful company. I’m looking for a patient, quiet, experienced home where I can continue to blossom at my own pace. If you give me time to trust you, I’ll reward you with sweet leg hugs, soft affection, and lots of quiet charm.
