Looking for a fun, playful companion who will shower you with kisses? Meet Lilith, a 1-year-old terrier mix with a zest for life and a big heart!

Lilith loves being outside—whether she's chasing a toy in the yard, going for a car ride, or playing an enthusiastic game of fetch. She’s curious, energetic, and eager to learn (she already knows “sit” and is ready to add more tricks to her resume!). Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself—or better yet, play with you.

While Lilith adores people and thrives on attention, she’s not the snuggliest pup—she’d rather give kisses than curl up on your lap. She can be a bit anxious at times, so a patient and loving home will help her feel safe and secure.

🐶 Dog Selective – Lilith prefers to be the only dog or would need slow, proper introductions to other dogs.
🐱 Cats – She has a strong prey drive and is likely not a good fit for a home with cats.
🏡 Ideal Home – A yard to play in, active people who love outdoor time, and a patient adopter who understands her boundaries.

Lilith is ready to find her forever home where she can be her happy, kissy self. Could that be with you? Submit your application today: https://forms.gle/UWUa6L9HGBq9fHvS9. 🤩

-Pumpkin's Owner
Please spread the word for this lost cat. Pumpkin was LOST on October 4, 2025 in Coralville, IA 52241 near 9th Street and 20th Avenue

Message from Owner: We recently had him vetted to come inside permanently. We thought anesthesia had worn off to let him back outside so he could come in on his own terms. We were with him on our deck for 6 hours, and thought he left to go to the bathroom and hasn’t come . It’s been about 20 hours since he left. If anyone sees him, let us be the ones to get him, we are his people.
We are absolutely devastated. He has lived on our deck for 1.5 years and never leaves.

Description: Ear tipped, buff tabby, may be recently deaf. Microchipped to us.

Hi there… I’m Gwen 🐾

Sorry I’m not the first to rush over or the loudest in the bunch—but I am watching, hoping you’ll see me too. I’m what they call a secret admirer. I like to stay in the background at first, taking it all in, learning who I can trust.

But once I feel safe? That’s when the magic happens. I’ll creep a little closer. I’ll blink slowly at you from across the room. And one day, you’ll wake up and realize I’ve claimed your lap as my favorite place in the world.

I’m just 3 months old, with a heart full of love to give. I may need a little extra time to come out of my shell—but I promise, I’m worth the wait.

If you’re looking for a quiet kind of love, I’m ready for my forever home.
Love,
Gwen 💕

Hi, I’m Regina 👑
Age: 4 months
Personality: Secret admirer, quietly curious, future best friend

Shhh... I’ve been watching you from afar. Not in a spooky way—I’m just a little shy, and I like to take my time getting to know people. You see, I’m what they call a secret admirer. I might not run up to you right away, but I’m always nearby, quietly observing, hoping you’ll notice me too.

I’m still young, so I’m learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. With a gentle voice, a cozy spot to hide, and a bit of patience, I know I’ll blossom into your most loyal little companion.

I may not be the loudest or boldest in the room, but if you give me a chance, I’ll be your softest hello and your warmest goodnight.

Think we might be a match? I’m ready whenever you are. 💕

Love,
Regina

Lonesome 💛
Adult • Female • Mama Turned Snuggle Queen

Lonesome came to us at the end of July, a devoted mother with a heart full of love and a quiet strength that carried her and her kittens through. Her babies have all found homes of their own — now it’s finally her turn.

After giving so much of herself, Lonesome is ready to retire and enjoy the simple pleasures of a peaceful life: soft beds, gentle pets, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask much — just your presence.

She’s a calm, sweet companion who would thrive in a quiet home where she can soak up affection at her own pace. If you’re looking for a gentle soul who’s earned every bit of love coming her way, Lonesome is waiting to meet you. 🐾

Her adoption fee has been sponsored and includes her spay, up-to-date vaccinations, and a microchip. Come meet this sweetie today!
