Hi, I'm Oreo.
Oreo is a handsome boy with a gentle soul. He may be a little shy when meeting new people and prefers to take his time getting comfortable, but once he feels safe, his sweet and affectionate personality starts to shine through.
Oreo enjoys a calm environment where he can settle in at his own pace. He isn’t the type to demand attention right away, but he appreciates quiet companionship and will reward your patience with his loving nature.
In the past, Oreo has successfully lived with both cats and dogs, so he may do well in a home with other respectful pets. As with any new pet introduction, a gradual transition will help him feel secure and confident.
If you’re looking for a kind-hearted companion and are willing to give him the time he needs to blossom, Oreo could be the perfect addition to your family. He has so much love to give and is ready to find a forever home where he can truly feel at ease.
Hi, I'm Mooshie.
Soft, round, and fuzzy, this little lop love is Mooshie! Mooshie came into the shelter stray after a citizen found him loose in the streets. Though Mooshie can be a bit timid for petting after his ordeal, his natural curiosity and love for snacks and toys will give his future family ample opportunity to bond with him. When out in the enrichment room, Mooshie will approach for sniffs in between his adventuring.
Due to his backstory, we don’t know how Mooshie feels about living with children or other animals. Please note that Mooshie is not neutered and would be recommended to be neutered prior to introducing to other rabbits, even if they are altered. Mooshie would love nothing more than a family who respects his bunny boundaries and is happy to build a bond with him however he prefers, so if that sounds like you, feel free to meet him!
Hi, I'm Myla.
Myla is a beautiful girl who came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past. What we do know is that she is an incredibly sweet dog who enjoys spending time with people and loves getting out for walks. As she adjusts to yet another new chapter in her life, Myla will benefit from a patient family willing to give her time to decompress and settle into her new surroundings. A consistent routine, positive reinforcement training, and plenty of love will help her build confidence and thrive. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share your days with, Myla may be the perfect addition to your family!

Hi, I'm Snow.
Snow is a sweet girl with the very best bully smile and a personality that’s sure to win hearts. She came to the shelter at no fault of her own and is ready to find a family willing to shower her with the love she deserves. In the shelter, Snow tends to be a bit independent, happily doing her own thing and taking in the world around her. But when she’s ready, she’ll come over for pets and affection on her terms. One of our favorite things about Snow is watching her roll around in the dirt with a huge grin on her face, it never fails to make us smile! Snow is looking for a family who will appreciate her easygoing nature and give her the chance to settle in and be herself. If you’re searching for a sweet companion with a charming smile and a little goofy side, Snow may be your perfect match.

Hi, I'm Melon.
Melon is a short, stocky sweetheart who came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past. What we do know is that she has been incredibly loving and friendly with everyone she has met here at the shelter. Melon has some big feelings when she sees other dogs, and while we’re still learning more about her dog-to-dog preferences, adopters should be prepared to help her navigate those interactions appropriately. Because her history is unknown, a slow and thoughtful introduction to any new environment will be important. Like many shelter dogs, Melon will need time to decompress and settle into her new home before her true personality shines through. With patience, consistency, and plenty of love, we think this adorable little lady will blossom into a wonderful companion. Could Melon be the missing piece to your family?

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.
