Hi, I'm Bourbon.
Bourbon came to us as a stray and, sadly, was never reclaimed. When he first arrived, he was understandably nervous, but with each passing day he’s learning that people can be kind and that his future is looking brighter. Bourbon loves taking his time to sniff and explore the world around him on walks, but once he’s satisfied his curiosity, he’s more than happy to soak up some affection. As his confidence grows, we’re beginning to see glimpses of a playful, sweet personality just waiting to shine. Bourbon would thrive with a patient family that understands he’ll need a little time to settle into a new home. Give him the space to adjust, and we think you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to blossom.

Hi, I'm Adobe Flash.
Adobe Flash has stopped working…
…just kidding. This version actually works great.
Adobe Flash was found as a stray and, sadly, was never reclaimed. When he first arrived, he was a little unsure of the world around him. Every day his confidence grows, and we’re getting to see more of the playful, goofy, affectionate Doberman hiding underneath. This handsome boy loves spending time with his people, has a fun-loving personality that’s starting to shine, and is more than ready to upgrade from shelter life to a forever home. No downloads required. No security warnings. Just one sweet pup looking for a family that will give him a little patience while he finishes loading into his best self.

Hi, I'm Tonto.
Hi, I’m Tonto! I came to the shelter from a large hoarding case, and since then I’ve discovered just how wonderful life can be! I’m a loving, affectionate, and goofy guy who’s always ready for an adventure or a cuddle. I love playing with my dog friends, going for long walks, riding in the car, and even making special trips to places like the pet store or Rita’s. I’ve blossomed in foster care and have become a happy, social boy who enjoys meeting new people and spending time with his family. I’d love a home with another playful dog to help keep me company, plenty of daily exercise, and a family that will continue helping me learn with positive reinforcement. Cats just aren’t really my thing, so I’m looking for a cat-free home. If you’re looking for a fun-loving best friend who’s ready to make up for lost time and fill your days with laughter, love, and adventures, I can’t wait to meet you!

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.

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.
