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.

Vince

Vince the Cat has done it all! He's been an international spy, an astronaut, president of the US...well, not really. But it's easier to pretend than to think about the neglect and raging jaw infection he has endured. But now his jaw is almost back to normal, he looks dapper with a lion's cut, and the love of dedicated fosters have have given him stability, so it is time for a forever home. Vince is a sweet, loyal cat who wants to be where the people are, and would do best as a solo pet. When he looks at you with those big yellow eyes, your heart just melts and you can't help but love him a little more.

Pumba

Pumba is an 8yr old Shepard-Poodle mix. His name was given to him because of his similar appearance to Pumba from The Lion King; he has an incredible underbite and had long hair on his back with short hair on the sides! Also, like puma from the Lion King, our Pumba has a ton of energy to offer. He loves to play and go for walks and occasional jogs. A difference with our Pumba is that he is a perfect 25lbs and rarely ever talks/ bark.

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.

Sabrina

Sabrina is a very shy and quiet chihuahua who is 2 years old and about 8 pounds. She loves to play with stuffy toys, especially tugging on them with her foster family. Sabrina is housebroken, spayed and up to date on her shots. Sabrina is very snuggly and sweet once she knows you, but she is very nervous around new people. She would do best in a quiet home with no young children. Sabrina loves the other dogs in her foster home, especially one her size that she can run and play tug with. She would also be fine with cats.

Benny

Meet 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.
