Meet Teddy! ADOPTION PENDING

A 5-year-old Yorkshire Terrier with a big personality packed into a little body! This sweet boy recently found himself looking for a new home after his family split up, but he’s ready to start his next chapter with someone who will love him forever.

Teddy is outgoing, energetic, and always up for an adventure—whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or just being your cheerful little shadow around the house. He loves attention and enjoys spending time with his people.

Teddy can be a bit selective about his doggy friends, so a meet and greet is required to make sure it’s a good fit if you already have another pup. With the right match and a loving home, Teddy will make a loyal, fun, and affectionate companion.

Chevelle is slowly healing thanks to YOU! 💛
This brave little pup still has 3 more weeks in her cast, but she’s tackling each day with the same tail-wagging determination that stole our hearts from the start.

We’re still working to cover the cost of her surgery, and every dollar truly makes a difference. If you’re able to help, you can donate through the link in our previous post.
Thank you!

Another week… another animal in need.
Some days this job feels endless — the emergencies keep coming, and the heartbreaks pile up. But then there’s Enzo, and he reminds us why we never give up.

Enzo, a 7-year-old Boston Terrier, was surrendered to us with a pr*****ed a**s and in unbearable pain. He needed emergency surgery just to have a chance — and thanks to your support, he got it.

Today, Enzo is all wiggles and b***y wiggles, greeting every person he meets like an old friend.
He’s healing, he’s happy, and soon — he’ll be ready for a forever home.

Adoption fees could never cover the cost of care, but donations from people like you make these stories possible. Because of you, Enzo gets to live without pain.

This is animal advocacy.

Thank you.

Stay tuned — Enzo’s adoption day is coming.

Meet Aphrodite & Theta — Our Longest Dog Residents!

These two beautiful girls have been waiting far too long for their happily ever after. At 7 years old, they may be seniors on paper, but don’t let that fool you — they’re full of life, energy, and love to give!

Both were once puppy mill mamas, and during their spay surgeries, our vet said their uteruses were some of the worst they’d ever seen. Thankfully, that ugly chapter of their lives is behind them. Now, they’re ready for a fresh start — one filled with kindness, comfort, and care.

Aphrodite and Theta are outgoing and affectionate, though new experiences can still make them a little nervous at first. With patience and love, they warm up quickly and show just how sweet they truly are.

Let’s find these girls the homes they’ve been waiting for.

Meet Frolic! ADOPTED

True to her name, Frolic is a playful, curious kitty who loves to explore every corner and discover new adventures. She’s always on the lookout for something fun — a rustling toy, a sunny windowsill, or maybe a friendly hand to give her some chin scratches. Frolic’s boundless curiosity and sweet personality make her a joy to be around.

She’s looking for a loving home where she can keep exploring, playing, and, of course, frolicking to her heart’s content. If you’re searching for a cheerful companion who brings energy and love to every moment, Frolic is the perfect match!

Ps… Maxine is available for adoption!

Meet Capri!

A 6-month-old bundle of pure kitten chaos — in the best possible way! This playful, energetic boy is always on the move, chasing toys, exploring every corner, and turning even the simplest things into an adventure. He’s got plenty of “spazz” energy and would be the perfect fit for a busy, active home that can keep up with his love for playtime and fun.

Capri’s silly antics and boundless enthusiasm are sure to make you laugh every day — and when he finally tires himself out, he’s all purrs and sweetness. If you’re looking for a fun-loving kitten who will bring nonstop energy and joy into your home, Capri is your guy!

Meet Benji!

A 10-month-old puppy weighing in at 88 pounds of pure energy and love! He was surrendered by his previous owner who couldn’t keep up with his size and enthusiasm. Benji is a big, happy boy who needs a home ready to dedicate time and consistency to his continued training. He’s been doing wonderfully with us — he’s potty trained and already knows how to sit, shake, and lay down!

Benji is still a puppy at heart, so he can be mouthy and jumpy when he gets excited, but with patience and structure, he’s eager to please and learn. This sweet boy loves belly rubs, playtime, and being around his favorite people.

If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy companion with a big heart (and an even bigger smile), Benji might just be your guy!

Meet Rocky Road! ADOPTED

Sweet, chatty, and full of personality, Rocky Road has been through quite the journey — and she’s finally ready to find her happily ever after! When she first came to us, this brave girl was recovering from a severe wound on her side. Thanks to lots of love, care, and her own resilient spirit, Rocky Road has made an incredible recovery. Now that she’s healed, her true colors are shining through — and what a treat she is!

Rocky Road is a talkative companion who loves to “chat” about her day and will happily tell you when it’s time for pets or dinner. She’s equal parts sweet and sassy, with a soft spot for affection and cozy naps.

Meet Hercules! ADOPTED

Small in size but mighty in spirit, Hercules is a fearless little kitten with a heart full of curiosity! This pint-sized adventurer loves exploring every nook and cranny, turning even the simplest moments into exciting quests. But don’t be fooled — after each grand adventure comes the equally important part: frequent, cozy naps to recharge his boundless energy.

Hercules is the perfect mix of playful explorer and snuggle champion, always ready to brighten your day with his antics (and occasional purrs). If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a huge personality, Hercules is your guy — small, brave, and ready to conquer your heart!

Meet Fenn! ADOPTED

A 7-month-old Cane Corso puppy with a big heart and an even bigger wiggle! This sweet girl loves everyone she meets and shows it with a full-body tail wag — the more excited she gets, the faster that little butt wiggles!

Fenn is full of puppy energy and joy. She’s still learning her manners and working on potty training, but she’s eager to please and picking things up quickly. Like any young pup, she’ll thrive with patience, consistency, and plenty of playtime. With her loving personality and goofy charm, Fenn is going to make someone the perfect companion.

To ensure she’s placed in a responsible home, applicants will be hand-picked. Please schedule an appointment to come meet this special girl!
