Hi, I'm Butter Stick.
Meet Butter Stick! This laid-back sweetheart is happiest when she’s curled up beside her favorite people, soaking up all the love and attention she can get. Butter Stick came in through no fault of her own when her owner’s health declined. She lived with a dog and did well, but we aren’t sure about dogs or kids.
If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy, Butter Stick is your girl. She adores pets, leans in for affection, and has perfected the art of giving the sweetest little head butts to let you know she loves you. Easygoing and content, she’s not demanding—she’s simply happy to be wherever her people are.
With her calm personality, affectionate nature, and cuddly charm, Butter Stick is the kind of cat who turns a house into a home. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will happily keep you company on the couch and remind you every day how wonderful cat cuddles can be, Butter Stick is waiting to meet you!
Hi, I'm Demolition Man.
This sweet, affectionate boy is happiest when he’s spending time with his favorite people, soaking up pets, and sharing his gentle, loving personality.
Demolition Man has lived with other cats in the past and has experience sharing his space with feline friends.
Whether he’s relaxing by your side, asking for affection, or simply keeping you company, Demolition Man is the kind of cat who makes a house feel like home. He’s ready to leave the “demolition” behind and build a lifetime of love with his forever family.
If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate companion with a big heart and an unforgettable name, Demolition Man is ready to meet you!
Hi, I'm Kong.
Hi, I’m Kong! I’m a big, goofy Rottweiler with an even bigger heart! I love to play fetch, splash around in the water, chase my favorite toys, and, most of all, soak up attention from my people. If you sit down, don’t be surprised if I come barreling over and plop my whole backside into your lap for some love! I recently lost my home after my family fell on hard times, and all the big changes have made me a little louder than usual when I first see new people or dogs through a fence or kennel door. But once you actually meet me, you’ll quickly discover I’m a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be part of the fun. I’m an active guy who would love a family that enjoys playing, exploring, and continuing to teach me all the good things life has to offer. Because I’m such a big, enthusiastic goofball, I’d do best with older children who won’t mind my exuberant personality. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will keep you laughing and remind you every day just how much he loves you, I think we’re going to get along just fine!

Hi, I'm Quira.
Quira is a beautiful girl who came to the shelter after her landlord would no longer allow her to stay. Through no fault of her own, she’s now looking for a family to call her own. This sweet, friendly girl loves spending time with people and happily soaks up all the affection she can get. On walks, Quira likes to take her time, making sure every interesting scent gets the attention it deserves! Quira hasn’t been with us for very long, so we’re still getting to know her personality, but every day she continues to show us what a wonderful companion she is. She’s ready to leave the uncertainty behind and start her next chapter with a family who will love her forever.

Hi, I'm Spaghetti.
Hi, I’m Spaghetti! I’m a fun-loving girl who’s always ready to get outside and see what the day has in store. I get excited for walks, love treats, and already know how to sit—especially if snacks are involved! One of my favorite games is chasing after toys, even if I decide not to bring them back. While I can be a little more interested in exploring than cuddling at first, give me a few minutes and I’m happy to soak up some pets and spend time with my people. I’m a smart, active dog who loves to learn, and I’ve even stayed calm when other dogs around me were making a lot of noise. If you’re looking for a playful companion with a goofy name and an adventurous spirit, I think we’d make a pretty great team!

Save A Life By Fostering
Fostering saves two lives – the life of the animal in your home and the one we now have space for in the shelter. Our foster families create the capacity for us to care for more animals, and for pets struggling in the shelter environment, a foster family’s loving home can make a life-saving difference. Join our foster team to help pets heal, grow, and prepare for their forever home.
