Don't miss out on the sweetest boy ever! Jetsam's future family will be the luckiest!

Jetsam is a year old, and may be small in size at just 30 pounds, but he’s overflowing with love and charm!

Jetsam is a gentle soul with a calm, laid-back nature. He walks beautifully on leash, knows how to "sit" like a pro, and is always up for a cuddle session (bonus points if belly rubs are involved!). Whether you’re looking for a snuggle buddy for movie nights or a quiet companion for leisurely strolls, Jetsam is your guy.

He’s been neutered, is heartworm negative, and is up-to-date on vaccinations—all he’s missing is a cozy home and a loving family to share his gentle heart with.

Come meet Jetsam and let this sweet pup steal your heart!

Imagine hanging out on the catio watching all the cars come in and out and none of them are potential new families for you to go home with... Pretzel wants to know when it will be his turn!

With a name as twisty as his personality, Pretzel is one irresistible kitty! This 2 year old FIV* positive sweetheart is the perfect mix of playful mischief and laid back lounging, and he’s ready to steal your heart!

Pretzel lives for window bird watching and sunbathing in our fenced-in catio. But don’t let his zen moments fool you... this boy thrives on a little chaos! He’s got the zoomies, the wiggles, and a curious streak that keeps things exciting. He’ll wind between your legs in figure eights, follow you to mealtime like a loyal little buddy, and dive headfirst into playtime like it’s his full-time job.

Once he's had his fun, Pretzel flips the switch and becomes a total baby, ready for cuddles, affection, and chill hangouts. With the right balance of stimulation and love, he blossoms into the most charming companion.

FIV? No big deal. Pretzel is healthy, young, and full of life. FIV-positive cats can live long, happy lives just like any other cat!

If you’re looking for a quirky, fun-loving, affectionate boy to keep you company, Pretzel is your guy. Come meet him and let his one-of-a-kind personality twist its way into your heart.

*FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is a viral infection that weakens a cat's immune system.
FIV is mainly passed from cat to cat through deep bite wounds that usually occur outdoors during aggressive fights. It can not be passed on by living with other household cats, sharing water bowls, or cleaning each other.
Cat's who test positive for FIV are still able to live long, happy lives as indoor only pets!

If you’re looking for a loyal, handsome sidekick with a heart of gold, Silas might just be your guy. This sweet, 52-pound pup is just under 2 years old and already knows how to melt hearts with his gentle manners and playful energy.

Silas is a total people-pup—he adores kids, gets along great with other dogs, and never misses a chance to offer a wagging tail and happy smile.

Whether he’s playing in the yard or politely taking treats from your hand, Silas brings joy wherever he goes. Now all he needs is a forever family to call his own. Could that be you?

Still in search of his forever home, Matty remains at the shelter hopeful his family is somewhere out there.

Matty is a low-key and affectionate 3 year old guy that came to us as a stray. When he first arrived, we saw a totally different kitty than the boy we know and love today. FIV* positive Matty was severely dehydrated, emaciated, and suffering from painful ulcerated paws – a condition known as “pillow paws.” It took us months to get Matty back into the excellent health he is now in, but his loving and sweet personality made it all worth the effort! We patched up Matty’s paws and now he is ready for his new home!

Don’t miss out on this affectionate and laid back sweetheart!

👑 Meet Brie: The Queen of Sweetness 👑

If kindness had a face, it would look a lot like Brie. This 3-year-old Lab mix weighs about 50 pounds and has a heart full of love! She’s gentle, affectionate, and is so, so sweet!

Brie appears to be housebroken and gets along well with other dogs, making her a wonderful fit for a home with furry siblings or a solo spot where she can soak up all your attention. She’s spayed, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccinations—healthy, happy, and ready to start her next chapter.

Right now, Brie is waiting at the shelter, hoping someone will see her for who she truly is: a loyal companion with endless love to give. If you’re looking for a dog who will brighten your days and warm your heart, Brie is ready to meet you.

💛 Come fall in love with Brie. She’s sweetness, wrapped in fur.

Longest stay, Coal, brings 7 years of wisdom and endless amounts of love to give.. his home is out there somewhere!

Coal might look a little serious at first glance, but don’t be fooled! Behind those bright eyes and stoic face is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.

At just 7 years old, Coal has the perfect mix of life experience and youthful energy. He’s healthy, spry and still full of curiosity, but he brings with him a calmness that only time can teach. He’s the kind of cat who won’t demand the spotlight, but he’ll quietly steal your heart.

Coal is incredibly sweet and social. He doesn’t shout for attention - he simply asks for it with a gentle paw reach, a soft head butt, or a sweet look that says, “Can I hang out with you?” He adores people, loves food, and just wants a loving home where he can spend his days being someone’s best friend.

Coal is neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, vaccinated, extremely loving, and very polite about asking for attention. He would be the perfect companion for a laid-back home looking for a loyal buddy

Don’t let his age deter you - Coal has so much love left to give. He’s ready to settle in with someone who will cherish his quiet sweetness and offer the cozy companionship he’s been dreaming of. Come meet him, and prepare to fall in love!
