Ferdinand

Ferdinand is a big sweet 5-year-old love-hunk. He has a huge head with sweet green eyes and a cow-cat style black-and-white coat. He is shy at first but responds gratefully to a slow approach and gentle head scritches. Ferdinand is a mellow creature who would love to snuggle up with you. He should do well with other cats after a proper introduction.

Freddie

Freddie is a 10-year-old cuddly hunk! He may be shy at first, but warmed up quickly to his foster family. He loves to sleep really close to his people and loves to follow you where ever you go! Freddie's ideal forever home would include at least one comfy lap snuggle up in and would provide him with frequent petting sessions.

Muffin

Muffin is a bold 10 year old girl with a lot of love to give. She's looking for a home to call her own where she can rule from a high spot near a window. Don't let her sassy face fool you (she's just missing a few teeth) - she loves attention and wants to be part of what you're doing. If you forget to keep petting her, she'll remind you with a wave or a gentle tap from her paw. She's quick with a purr and loves catnip, laser pointers, and being brushed.

Sheba

Sheba is an adorable brown tabby between 1-3 years old. She has a loud purr for such a petite girl. She was shy at first but now loves to hang out with her foster family. This tiny tabby is learning quickly that people can be pretty nice to have around! She's bravely worked to overcome her understandable initial nervousness in a foster home and is ready and eager for a family. She's very small and has an almost inaudible meow but a big purr you can feel and hear. One ear is a bit flattened on top (as picture 3 shows), adding even more unique visual charm to this wonderful, rewarding young cat.

Stevie

Stevie is a big, handsome boy with a great personality. He is about 5 years old. Stevie thinks he is a dog sometimes and will even sit on command for his foster mom!. He enjoys spending time around people but is also perfectly content to watch birds and squirrels out the window.

Jada

Jada is the most adorable 43lb, 7-year-old pocket pittie you will ever meet. Jada is extremely people friendly and gets along with everyone immediately. She wins everyone over with her sweet demeanor and unconditional love. If you are looking for a cuddle partner, look no further - Jada is your girl! Jada thinks she is a lap dog and will curl up on your lap or wrap herself in blankets to take a nap.

Maddie

I'm Maddie! I'm a loving 45lb, 3.5-year-old Whippet/Pitbull mix. Not to brag, but I am extremely smart. I am house-trained, crate-trained, and know many commands; sit, down, paw, wait. I'm willing to learn more too if you have a treat, a toy, or some love- I'm not picky. I also love walks and can go for miles and miles. I do not pull on my leash because I want to be right next to you the whole time, not in front. What kind of walk would it be if I'm not even next to you?! This makes me a great running partner! I sometimes get a little too excited if I see something cool, but with a little reminding, I'm right back at your side.

Seeley

Seeley is a cuddly and gorgeous two year old dog, and all he wants to do is be loved and show his human companions that he loves them back. He loves people from the moment he meets them. In fact, there's not much that he DOESN'T love; he even went back for thirds when he first tried lime juice! If you give the guy an ice cube, he'll freak out for a few seconds and then munch it right down.

Skylar

My name is Skylar. I am a happy girl and much smaller than I look in photos, fully grown at about 35 lbs! My foster mommy tells me I'm a very good girl, I get along with the other dog I live with and have lived with several others before, Ok with the cat, and have been around livestock (horses) with no issues! I LOVE being around my people and grow VERY attached, love to snuggle, and PLAY! I am pretty well house trained and walk very well on a leash! I am a bit stressed when meeting new people and can take a bit to warm up, but afterward, I'm all kisses! I can be pretty hyper but a long walk, hike or play session will do the trick! Overall, I'm a goofy & lovable girl who'd love a permanent home!

Benny

Benny is a 7 year old pug/beagle mix that comes in at a low-riding 22lbs. He is a ball of fun and energy when you want him to be, but most of the time, he is content to lay at your feet and snore away the day or night.
