Hi, I'm Cooper.
Cooper is a handsome senior gentleman who came to us after his owner moved and was unable to take him along. Despite this big change in his life, Cooper has remained the sweet, laid-back boy we’ve come to know and love. Cooper enjoys the simple things in life, leisurely walks, plenty of time to sniff and explore, and soaking up affection from his favorite people. As we continue getting to know him, he has shown us that he is a well-mannered companion with a gentle nature. Now, Cooper is looking for a loving family to spend his golden years with. He deserves a comfortable home, a cozy place to rest, and people who will cherish him for the wonderful dog he is. In return, Cooper is ready to offer loyalty, companionship, and plenty of love.

Hi, I'm Porpentina.
If you’re looking for a cat with personality, charm, and plenty of love to give, Porpentina is your girl! This sweet and affectionate adult cat is always ready to make new friends and isn’t shy about letting you know what’s on her mind. With her talkative nature, she’ll happily chat with you about her day, remind you when it’s mealtime, and keep you company with her adorable commentary.
Porpentina is also full of energy and enthusiasm. She loves staying active, exploring her surroundings, and finding new ways to entertain herself and her family. Whether she’s chasing toys, investigating every corner of the house, or seeking out attention, she brings fun and excitement wherever she goes.
Despite her playful spirit, Porpentina has a soft side too. She loves affection and enjoys spending quality time with the people she loves. Her combination of sweetness, confidence, and lively energy makes her a wonderful companion for a family looking for an engaging and interactive feline friend.
Hi, I'm Marco.
Marco is a sweet little guy who came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past. Since arriving at the shelter, he has shown himself to be a gentle and kind-hearted dog. Like many shelter pets, Marco can be a little hesitant when meeting new people and experiencing new situations, but that’s understandable in such a busy and overwhelming environment. While he hasn’t fully shown us his personality yet, we believe that’s because he’s still adjusting. Given the chance to decompress in a loving home, we’re excited to see him blossom and let his true self shine. Marco is looking for a patient family that will give him the time, understanding, and support he needs to settle into his new life. With a little patience, we think this sweet boy will make a wonderful companion.

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.
