Hi, I'm Burrito.
Sweet Burrito arrived at the shelter in not great shape, but after some much-needed grooming and TLC, this adorable girl is finally feeling like herself again! It’s no surprise she wasn’t thrilled when she first arrived, she was uncomfortable and in rough shape. Now that she’s feeling better, she’s shown us what a sweet, affectionate companion she can be with the people she knows and trusts. New faces can still be a little overwhelming, so she’ll need a patient adopter who’s willing to let her settle in at her own pace. Earn her trust, and you’ll be rewarded with a loving little shadow. Because of her coat, regular professional grooming is a must to keep sweet Burrito comfortable, healthy, and looking her very best. If you’re ready to invest a little time, patience, and grooming appointments, you’ll gain a wonderful best friend who’s absolutely worth it.

Hi, I'm Ace Ventura.
Ace Ventura came to the shelter through no fault of his own and was understandably overwhelmed by the transition. When he first arrived, he kept to himself, but with plenty of patience, love from our staff, and a few cheese curls along the way, this handsome boy has slowly started to let his true personality shine. While the shelter still isn’t his favorite place, Ace has blossomed into a goofy, playful companion who enjoys spending time with the people he trusts. He may not be the kind of dog who wins you over in the first five minutes, but if you’re willing to give him the time and patience he needs, you’ll discover a loyal, loving best friend. The bond you’ll build with Ace is one that’s truly worth the wait. Now all Ace needs is a family to give him the fresh start he deserves and a place he can finally call home.

Hi, I'm Leche.
Leche is a sweet, gentle girl with a soft heart and a quiet charm. She enjoys cozy naps, watching the world from a sunny window, and spending time with her beloved daughter, Crema. The two are deeply bonded and rely on each other for comfort, play, and companionship, so they’re looking for a home where they can stay together.
Leche would do best in a home without dogs, as they make her uncomfortable. She’ll thrive in a calm environment where she can settle in at her own pace and show her affectionate, loving personality.
If you’re looking to welcome a beautiful pair of feline relatives into your family, Leche and Crema are ready to fill your home with love, purrs, and lifelong companionship
Hi, I'm Crema.
Crema is a sweet and affectionate girl with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. Whether she’s lounging in a cozy spot, chasing a favorite toy, or curling up for a nap, she’s happiest when she’s by the side of her mother, Leche. These two share a special bond and are looking for a forever home where they can stay together.
Crema is not a fan of dogs, so she’ll do best in a dog-free home where she can feel safe and relaxed. Given a little time to settle in, she’ll reward you with her loving personality and quiet companionship.
If you’re ready to open your heart to a wonderful pair of family, Crema and Leche will bring double the love, double the purrs, and endless joy to your home.
Hi, I'm Crab Rangoon.
Crab Rangoon is 100% kitten and 110% fun! This adventurous little guy is always on the move, ready to chase toys, explore every corner of the house, and turn everyday objects into exciting new discoveries.
Curious, playful, and full of energy, Crab Rangoon is the kind of kitten who will keep you laughing with his goofy antics and fearless spirit. After a busy day of adventures, he’s happy to recharge before setting off on his next mission.
If you’re looking for a lively, entertaining companion who will bring endless smiles and excitement to your home, Crab Rangoon is ready to spice up your life!

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.
