Hi, I'm McTwist.
Sweet like cotton candy, McTwist could turn the staunchest skeptics into a rabbit fan with her stellar temperament! McTwist was found stray and never reclaimed, but we can only imagine she was once loved, as she loves the world in kind. During enrichment, McTwist is easygoing and eager to explore, binky, and puzzle her day away! She has enjoyed chewing wooden toys, playing stack cups, and completing other puzzle games. Once she’s had her fill, she’ll flop down near you and indulge in petting.
McTwist permits grooming in short bursts, which you’ll need to do in order to maintain her long, mat-prone cottony mane and pantaloons. This spunky sweetheart is hard at work with her litter training to prepare herself for her future as a spoiled housebunny for someone soon! As a previous stray, we don’t know how McTwist feels about living other rabbits or animals—only that she is bursting with personality, and will delight any family willing to give her the space and maintenance she craves ❤️
Hi, I'm Apple Pie.
Apple Pie is a sweet girl who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. Now she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the love she’s been waiting for. She can be a strong girl on the leash, but she enjoys getting out for walks and spending time with her people. We’re still getting to know who Apple Pie truly is, and each day her personality continues to shine a little more. Since she came to us as a stray, we don’t know what her past or home life was like. Her future family should be ready to give her patience and time as she learns to adjust to a new routine and environment.

Hi, I'm Charlie.
Charlie is a sweet boy who may come off a little reserved at first. He was sadly surrendered because the landlord would not allow him. It took some time for staff to earn his trust, but now we’re starting to see his charming personality shine through. Charlie will do best with a patient family that understands he may need time to adjust to new surroundings and settle into home life. With a little patience and love, he’s sure to blossom into a wonderful companion.

Hi, I'm Beans.
Ready for her retirement, Beans was a much loved member of a family since she was a kitten into her golden years. Unfortunately, after her owner moved back in with family and Beans was forced to share her space with new cats, she decided she much preferred being solo spotlight (as far as felines go, anyway—she supposedly put up with dogs)! Beans was described by her previous family as affectionate but capricious, giving and receiving love at her leisure. She had an affinity for being up high, crawling under blankets and comforters, crinkly toys, scratching posts of all kinds, and chewing on houseplants (so any plant that should not be chewed should be kept safely out of Beans range). Beans has become a bit of a princess and will let you know if she doesn’t want to be handled; her previous family said she will let her trusted people do “pretty much as they please”. Those ready to be ruled by a queen bee should meet Beans!
Hi, I'm Macy.
Surrendered due to her family moving, Macy is now on the search for a new family to call her own. She may come off a little reserved at first, but give her just a few minutes and her goofy, playful personality starts to shine. Macy is food-motivated and eager to learn, and she loves chasing her toys when playtime begins. Macy has a strong personality and needs to be paired with the right dog; no cats for her though! With a little patience and a lot of love, Macy will make a fun, sweet companion for the lucky family who brings her home.

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.
