Hi, I'm Lip Smacker.
💋 Meet Lip Smacker 💋
Don’t let his name fool you—Lip Smacker’s sweetest feature isn’t his injured lip anymore, it’s his gentle heart. This handsome little guy came to the shelter with a mouth injury, but after plenty of care and healing, he’s feeling so much better and is ready to start the next chapter of his life.
Lip Smacker is a quieter kitten who likes to take his time getting comfortable in new surroundings. Once he realizes he’s safe, his sweet personality begins to shine. He enjoys the company of other cats and takes comfort in having feline friends around, making him a great addition to a home with a friendly resident cat or another playful kitten and is looking for a patient family that will let him settle in at his own pace and help his confidence continue to grow. With a little kindness, a cozy place to nap, and some feline companionship, this lovable boy is sure to blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a gentle kitten to cheer on as he comes out of his shell, Lip Smacker is ready to steal your heart. 💕
Hi, I'm RunWayKing.
Runwayking is a sweet boy who just needs a little time to warm up to new people and situations. Found as a stray, we don’t know much about his past, but we do know he’s ready for a brighter future. He is looking for a patient family that will give him the time and understanding he needs to settle in and build his confidence. Once he’s comfortable, Runwayking’s playful, affectionate personality shines through. With love, patience, and encouragement, you’ll gain a loyal companion who is well worth the wait.

Hi, I'm Lady Spots-a-Lot.
Lady Spots-a-lot is a beautiful young pup with a heart that’s growing a little bigger every day. When she first arrived as a stray, she wasn’t quite sure what to make of shelter life. With patience and kindness from staff, she’s started to blossom into the playful, energetic girl we knew was hiding inside. As her confidence grows, so does her affectionate side. She loves attention from the people she trusts and is always ready for some fun once she feels comfortable. Since she came to us as a stray, we don’t know what her life looked like before the shelter, but we do know she deserves a future filled with love, adventure, and security. Lady Spots-a-lot would thrive with a family willing to give her a little time to settle in and continue building her confidence. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to make up for lost time.

Hi, I'm McDoodlepants.
McDoodlepants is a larger-than-life guy who arrived at the shelter as a stray, and while we don’t know much about his past, he’s certainly made an impression! This goofy, energetic boy is always ready for action and is looking for a family that can keep up with his zest for life. Like many doodles, McDoodlepants is full of enthusiasm and could use some help polishing his manners. He will thrive with a family committed to providing plenty of exercise, positive training, and consistency. He’s a strong boy who doesn’t always realize his size, so he’ll need adopters who can confidently handle his excitement, whether that’s his enthusiastic greetings or his tendency to power ahead on walks. Potential adopters should also be prepared for the grooming needs that come with a doodle coat. Regular brushing and professional grooming are essential to prevent painful matting and keep him looking and feeling his best. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, active companion and are ready to invest the time and care he deserves, McDoodlepants may just be your perfect match!

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.
