Meet LuLu!

This beautiful girl was sadly dumped in our play yard, but she hasn’t let that dim her sweet spirit. LuLu is the total package of snuggles, silliness, and charm.

🚗 She loves car rides (but don’t even think about putting her in the back seat—LuLu insists on being the official passenger seat princess ).
🦴 Treats? Yes, please! She already knows “sit” and is eager to learn more with a tasty reward.
🎾 While tennis balls don’t impress her much, squeaky toys and Kongs are her jam!
💓 She’s a total lovebug who melts for belly rubs.

LuLu walks decently on a leash (though she may pull a bit), isn’t reactive out and about, but she does prefer to be your one and only pet—no cats and no dogs, please. She just wants to soak up all your love for herself!

✨ Right now, you can adopt LuLu for just $59 as part of our Adopt Your Super Sidekick event! But hurry—this special ends 9/2. ✨

LuLu is waiting patiently for her forever family to discover just how special she is. Could that be you?

💫🐾 Introducing Hercules – The Gentle Giant Hero! 🐾💫

Like the Disney legend himself, our Hercules is a strong boy with a heart of pure gold. This big sweetheart is on his own epic quest—not to battle mythical beasts, but to find his forever family!

⚡️ Heroic Powers:

Can chase a ball like it’s a Hydra that needs defeating.

Masters the art of dramatic flair by throwing himself into the grass or dirt for a good roll (every hero needs a signature move!).

Uses his mighty strength only for good—like carrying squeaky toys and melting hearts.

🍖 Favorite Rewards: Hercules will do just about anything for a treat. He’s also happy to tag along for car rides (as long as he’s not crated—our hero likes his freedom).

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Best Sidekicks: This gentle giant would be a perfect companion for kids of any age. He loves people and is always ready for affection. He’d prefer to be the only furry hero in the home (no dogs or cats, please), but he’s polite when out and about.

✅ Neutered
✅ Up to date on vaccines
✅ Microchipped
✅ Heartworm negative

✨ Hercules’s adoption fee is $91 (just $1/lb!) as part of our Adopt Your Super Sidekick event—ending 9/2!

Hercules is proof that not all heroes wear capes—some have wagging tails and big goofy smiles. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with legendary sweetness, Hercules is ready to say, “I can go the distance—with you!”

Meet Cleo – The Queen of Comfort & Cuddles!

Cleo is a very sweet senior girl who knows the finer things in life – cozy beds, tasty wet food, and plenty of love. She adores attention, happily soaks up pets, and doesn’t mind being picked up for extra snuggles.

This laid-back lady has a soft spot for treats (Churus are her absolute favorite!) and enjoys relaxing in the company of other cats and even dogs. At heart, Cleo is simply looking for a calm, loving home where she can spend her golden years being spoiled the way she deserves.

🦸‍♂️ Meet Odin, The Guardian Hero!

Every superhero has their power, and Odin’s is loyal protection. Once he chooses his family, he’ll be their fearless defender—always alert, always watching, and always ready to stand tall against any villains (real or imagined).

Don’t let his strong presence fool you—Odin’s also a softie for treats and will happily work for snacks. He’s got a playful side too, with a love for chasing his ball and going on adventures. Car rides? Count him in—he’s always ready to hop into his Batmobile (or, you know, your SUV) for the next mission.

Here at the shelter, Odin has been nothing but a gentleman—no growls, no fuss, just a hero waiting for his sidekick. Because of his protective nature, he’d do best in a home with teenage sidekicks or older. He’s learning to walk nicely on his leash, and with a little training (and lots of treats), he’ll be unstoppable.

Odin is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative—fully equipped and mission-ready.

✨ Adopt Your Super Sidekick ends 9/2/25! ✨
Odin’s adoption fee is just $66 (that’s only $1 per heroic pound!).

Are you ready to team up with your very own Guardian Hero? 🦸‍♂️

🐾✨ Happy National Black Cat Day! ✨🐾

Did you know black cats are often the last to be adopted in shelters? 💔 Despite their reputation, black cats are just as loving, playful, and magical as any other cat—and they’re ready to be your perfect sidekick! 🐱🖤

Meet our own sleek superheroes: Cinder, Asher, Pennie Layne, Tsunami, and Tornado. Each one is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped—ready to leap into your life and save the day with endless snuggles.

Right now during our Adopt Your Super Sidekick event, cat adoptions are just $25 through 9/2 with an approved application. Don’t let these beauties be overlooked—your purrfect match might just be wearing a little black fur suit. 🦸‍♂️🐾

🌟 Meet Pennie Layne – The Watchful Guardian! 🌟

Every superhero shelter needs a calm, wise protector—and that’s where Pennie Layne comes in. She may not be the flashiest hero on the block, but she’s the kind of feline who saves the day with patience, sweetness, and a watchful eye from her favorite spot in the cat tree (her version of a lookout tower).

Pennie Layne is a sweet girl who enjoys love and attention—as long as it’s on her terms. She doesn’t normally mind being picked up and has even lived peacefully with dogs. She does just fine with her sidekick, Lucy, too! While she’s not one for zoomies and super-speed, Pennie Layne’s powers lie in the quieter things: enjoying tasty treats, savoring wet food, and being the calm presence her humans can always count on.

If you’re looking for a loyal guardian who’s more about heart than high-energy heroics, Pennie Layne is ready to swoop in and claim her forever home. 🦸‍♀️💫

(P.S. Like all of our heroes, Pennie Layne is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped)
