MEET WOLF
An 8-month-old puppy who is finally getting the chance to learn what being a loved family dog is all about. 
Wolf’s story is heartbreaking. For much of his young life, he spent up to 15 hours a day confined to a crate. While other puppies were learning, exploring, and making memories, Wolf was simply waiting.
And yet somehow, this sweet boy still loves people.
8 months old� Potty trained� Great with kids� Great with other dogs� Cats unknown� Crate trained, though his current caretakers haven’t needed to use one—and after spending so much time in a crate before, he’s likely grateful for the freedom
Despite everything he’s been through, Wolf is a happy, loving puppy who is ready to leave his past behind and start his real life.
He deserves a family that will show him that dogs are meant to be more than just a crate in the corner. He deserves walks, toys, belly rubs, adventures, and a couch to crash on after a long day of being a puppy.
His foster is moving and can’t take him with them, so we need to find this sweet boy a great forever home.
Can you be the person who gives Wolf the life he’s always deserved?

MEET ZEUS
Zeus doesn’t need much.
A quiet home.
A fenced yard.
A soft bed.
A patient person willing to give him the time he needs to trust.
At 5 years old, Zeus has already survived more than any dog should. He isn’t looking for adventure or excitement. He’s looking for peace.
He may never be the dog that jumps into your lap for cuddles.
But maybe one day he’ll choose to lay nearby.
Maybe one day he’ll look at you and know he’s safe.
And for a dog who once had every reason not to trust, that’s everything.
Potty trained
Loves his crate
No children
No other animals
Calm, experienced home required
Somewhere out there is the person Zeus has been waiting for.

Meet Alice!
She was surrendered with her brother, set to be euthanized, but
her life was saved!
What we know about Alice
- She was mostly kept in a crate and then lived in a car. I do
not crate her. I gated her in a room by herself.
- Has never gone outside for potty. So, she has never walked on grass. So, we
are working on potty training.
- She has never worn a collar or been on a leash. She now wears a collar every
day, and we are working on walking on a leash, which is still very scary for
her.
- She comes very well on command, she sits, and we are
working on stay. It's very hard because she wants to stand and wiggle her butt.
Oh, her tail is like a whip when she is happy and wiggling.
- I don’t know how she is around cats, but I know she chases
squirrels.
- We think she is about 1 yr to 14 months. She is up to
date on all her vaccines.
Whoever wants to adopt her will need to give her time to
adapt, I can't stress this enough!!!! She is very scared around new people; you will have to let her
come to you!!!. She may growl or bark, but absolutely has ZERO aggression. So,
she needs to come close to you on her time. Once she is comfortable with
you, she will be glued to your side. She is very happy and just gushes love! She
loves playing with her foster brother and sisters, which are a Shepherd, Bully,
and a Pug. They are teaching her how fun it is to be outside, playing outside,
potty outside, and had her first little pool experience. They all play very nicely
with each other, and all snuggle together.

MEET LOUISE
Louise is a 2-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix with the sweetest heart you’ll ever meet. Weighing just around 32 pounds, she’s the perfect compact size for adventures, snuggles, and everything in between.
Louise’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. She was found wandering with another dog, heartbreakingly thin and covered in fly strike wounds on her ears and head. Despite everything she endured, Louise never lost her faith in people. From the moment she was rescued, she welcomed kindness with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart.
Today, Louise is healthy, happy, and ready to start the next chapter of her life.
She is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, rides well in the car, and loves being around people. Louise has a calm, affectionate personality and is happiest when she’s soaking up attention from her favorite humans.
Louise would do best as the only dog in the home. While she is not dog aggressive, she prefers not to share her space with other dogs for extended periods. We believe she’ll thrive in a home where she can be the center of someone’s world and never have to compete for love or attention again. She has not yet been cat tested.
Louise is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and will be spayed before adoption.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Louise is ready to spend the rest of her life showing you just how much love one little dog can give. She has survived her past—now all she needs is someone to give her the future she’s been waiting for. ❤️

MEET THELMA
Thelma is a 2-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix with a huge personality packed into her petite 32-pound frame. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you smile every single day, Thelma is your girl.
Life wasn’t always kind to Thelma. She was found wandering the streets, painfully thin and covered in scars that suggest she had endured unimaginable hardship. But somehow, she never let her past steal her sweet spirit.
Today, Thelma is all about looking forward.
She is a happy, affectionate little girl who absolutely loves people. One of her cutest quirks is that she “talks” to you when she’s excited or wants your attention. And don’t be surprised if you hear the funniest little snorts and grunts while she eats—they’re all part of her irresistible charm!
Thelma is potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, rides great in the car, and has quickly become a volunteer favorite thanks to her loving personality and goofy antics.
Thelma would do best as the only dog in the home. She is not dog aggressive, but she prefers not to share her space with other dogs for extended periods. After everything she’s been through, she deserves a home where she can soak up all the love, attention, toys, and couch space without ever having to compete again. She has not yet been cat tested.
Thelma is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative, so she’s ready to start the next chapter of her life.
She has already survived the hardest chapter of her story. Now all she needs is someone to show her what forever feels like. In return, she’ll fill your days with laughter, your home with love, and your heart with a best friend you’ll wonder how you ever lived without. ❤️🐾

MEET DOVE
Dove is back… and we learned something important about her.
Sometimes adoptions don’t fail — they teach us what a pet truly needs to be happy. And Dove told us loud and clear.
This beautiful 11-month-old silver girl was adopted, but the tomboy in her came shining through. Dove decided that sharing her kingdom with another cat just wasn’t her style. She’s a little too confident and playful for a feline roommate… and the resident cat agreed.
So Dove is back with us, and now we know exactly what she needs:
A home where she can be the star of the show.
With people? She’s an absolute sweetheart.
She loves pets, will roll over for belly rubs, and turns on the purr motor the second you start giving her attention. Her soft grey coat and bright green eyes make her just as beautiful as she is charming.
But when it comes to other cats… Dove prefers the solo act life. No sharing the spotlight.
And honestly? She’ll thrive that way.
She loves sitting in windows watching the outside world, supervising your daily activities, and soaking up all the affection you’re willing to give. She’s playful, curious, and just the right mix of sweet and spunky.
So if you’ve been looking for one amazing cat to rule your home, Dove is ready to take the job.

MEET GOLDIE
I’m about 8 months old, incredibly smart, and I’ve been told I have “a lot of personality.” Personally, I think everyone else is just a little boring.
I know how to play fetch (which apparently makes me some kind of feline genius), I love toys, and I always have important opinions to share. If you’re looking for a quiet cat that blends into the background, I respectfully suggest you keep scrolling.
Now, before you get the wrong idea, I’m not a Velcro cat. I’m not going to spend every waking moment in your lap. But I am going to be your shadow. Cooking dinner? I’m there. Watching TV? I’m supervising. Working from home? I’ll be conducting quality control.
I get along with cats and dogs too—just give me a little time to make sure they’re worthy of my friendship.
- 8 months old
- Spayed & fully vaccinated
- Smart, playful, and ridiculously cute
- Professional fetch player
- Constant companion without being clingy
Honestly, I’m pretty much the total package.
The only thing missing is my forever family.

MEET IVY
Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to belong to someone.
Not to be the cat that showed up outside. Not to be the cat that was rescued. Not to be the cat waiting for a home.
Just… someone’s cat.
I’m only 9 months old, but I’ve already learned how much a little kindness can change a life. When I was found outside, a kind person took me in because they saw something in me. They saw a sweet, loving girl who just wanted to be safe.
And they were right.
I love snuggling. I love being close to my people. I love the comfort of knowing I’m not alone. I may take a minute to settle into new surroundings, but once I know I’m safe, my heart is all yours.
What I don’t understand is why no one has chosen me yet.
Every day I wait is another day I spend dreaming about a family of my own. A warm spot on the couch. A window to watch the world from. Someone who smiles when they see me and says, “There’s my Ivy.”
I don’t need a perfect home. I just need my home.
I’m spayed, up to date on my vaccines, and negative for FIV and FeLV. I’d do best in a home without dogs, and I may be okay with calm, gentle cats.
If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry best friend to your family, maybe I’ve been waiting for you all along.
Love,
Ivy

MEET MATTY
Eight years. Countless reasons not to trust people... and somehow, Matty is still sweet.
Matty's story is one of the saddest we've ever heard.
She and her tiny kittens were found taped up inside Sam's Club garbage, discarded like they didn't matter. Thankfully, they were found in time... but it's easy to understand why Matty is so shy and scared.
Despite everything she's been through, there isn't a mean bone in her body. She's simply waiting for someone to show her that not all humans will let her down.
At 8 years old, Matty deserves more than a shelter. She deserves soft beds, gentle hands, quiet mornings, and the chance to finally feel safe.
Good with kids, cats, and dogs
Sweet, gentle, and deserving of so much love
If you've ever wanted to change the ending of someone's story, this is your chance.

MEET SHRIMP
I’ve noticed something interesting.
In about 3 months, black cats are going to be all the rage. Suddenly everyone will be posting pictures of us, buying black cat decorations, and talking about how adorable we are.
And that’s great and all…
But please don’t make me wait 3 more precious months for a home.
That’s 3 months of missing out on morning coffee together.
3 months of me supervising your Netflix choices.
3 months of sunny windows, cozy naps, and learning all your routines.
3 months that we could be becoming best friends.
I’ve already waited through life in a scrapyard. I’d really like the next chapter of my story to start now.
And don’t worry—I promise I’ll still be your official Halloween black cat in October.
You just get the bonus months first.
Love,
Shrimp

MEET CHARLIE
This gorgeous girl is 2 years old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on everything. She’s sweet, affectionate, and has mastered the art of being the perfect companion. Charlie loves attention and pets, but she’s not one of those cats that insists on supervising your every move.
She’s the kind of cat that quietly steals your heart.
And if that wasn’t enough, Charlie once stepped in and helped care for kittens that weren’t even her own. That’s just who she is—a gentle soul with a heart full of love.
She has the beauty.
She has the personality.
She has the adorable little “excuse me, where is my forever family?” face.
Now all she needs is a home.
