Hi, I'm Corncob Bob.
Corncob Bob came to us as a stray, but he’s ready to plant his roots in a forever home. This handsome guy is full of energy, personality, and playfulness. He’s the kind of dog who wakes up ready to go whether that’s adventures, zoomies in the yard, or learning something new. Bob would thrive with a family that can give him structure, consistency, and positive training to help him be his very best self. He’s smart, eager, and has all the potential to shine when his needs are met. An active home will be key for this corny king; think walks, playtime, and plenty of outlets to burn off that fun-loving energy. If you’re looking for a lively, lovable companion who is equal parts goofy and great, Corncob Bob is ready to butter you up and steal your heart.

Hi, I'm Karen Michelle.
Karen Michelle came to us as a stray, but you’d never guess it by how sweet and loving she is. From day one, she’s been all heart, soaking up attention and showing off her playful side whenever toys are involved (which is often, because she loves them). Karen Michelle is looking for a home where she can be your one-and-only when it comes to smaller animals, no cats or little critters for this girl. But what she does bring is a whole lot of love, fun, and companionship. If you’re looking for a loyal, toy-loving best friend who’s ready to leave her stray days behind, Karen Michelle is ready to meet you.

Hi, I'm Robin.
Looking for your next sidekick? Robin came from a large hoarding household with too many cats to care for. She rejoined some of her former roommates here at the shelter just recently, so she hasn’t settled in yet. When the shelter gets quiet, that’s when Robin really comes alive, playing hard with toys and exploring. During the busy workday, she’s uncertain of visitors, but if there’s anything the cats from her home have shown us, they tend to blossom once they’ve settled in!
Given her backstory, we don’t know how Robin feels about dogs or children, but she is well-accustomed to sharing her space with other cats. As she adjusts more into the busy shelter life, Robin is slowly warming her heart and letting us in. We look forward to getting to know her more whether here or from her forever family!
Hi, I'm Lilac.
Lilac is a sweet female cat with a gentle, somewhat shy nature. She may be a little reserved when first meeting new people, but with a bit of patience and a calm environment, her soft and loving personality begins to shine through.
Coming from a hoarding situation where she lived with many other cats, Lilac is still adjusting to a more peaceful and predictable life. Because of this, she may take some time to fully come out of her shell, but she’s making progress and learning to trust more each day.
Lilac would do best in a quiet home that allows her to settle in at her own pace. She may do well with other respectful cats, especially given her past, but she’ll appreciate a gentle, low-stress environment where she can feel safe.
Hi, I'm Coffee.
Coffee is a sweet young boy who’s still learning all about the world around him. He can be a little nervous when meeting new people or in new environments, but once he feels safe, his playful and absolutely adorable personality starts to shine. We may never understand how this lovable pup ended up as a stray and was never reclaimed but we’re confident his story is only going up from here. Coffee is looking for a family who will help him build confidence, continue learning his manners, and show him just how good life can be. While we don’t know how he feels about all dogs, we did have Coffee in a play yard with another large dog and he did very well. With a little patience and a lot of love, Coffee is sure to grow into the amazing dog he was always meant to be.

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.
