Hi, I'm Bop It!.
Bop-It came to us as a stray with some injuries, but you’d never guess it from his spirit. Now that he’s healing and starting to feel like himself again, his true personality is shining through and it’s a good one. Despite whatever he’s been through, Bop-It has been nothing but a happy, loving boy since day one. This sweet guy is social, playful, and ready to trade in shelter life for a home of his own. He’s the kind of dog who will keep you smiling with his goofy energy and warm your heart with his affectionate nature. All he needs now is a family to give him the fresh start he deserves.

Hi, I'm Onyx.
Bringing good luck and love to his future forever home, this black cat’s name is Onyx. Onyx came from a home with too many cats for his owner to care for. Onyx took to his old roommates with gusto, head butting the other cats like they’d never been apart. He’s been more unsure in opening up to human staff, waiting until he feels safe to come out and greet you, but we expect him to blossom with just a little more time based on his hesitant affection.
Due to Onyx’s background, we don’t know how he feels about living with dogs or kids, but he’s well accustomed to sharing his space with other feline friends and had numerous roommates from his old home here with him in the shelter who he enjoys. He especially gets along well with his bonded roommate, Misty. Onyx is a very new resident of the shelter, but he’s coming around to the shelter life quickly. He seems to possess a quiet, resilient spirit, and we look forward to getting to know him more until his forever family recognizes this precious gem and takes him home!
Hi, I'm Misty.
Misty is a sweet, older female cat with a gentle soul and a shy personality. She may take a little time to come out of her shell, but beneath her quiet nature is a loving companion just waiting to bond with the right person. Once she feels safe, Misty shows her affectionate side in soft, subtle ways that make her all the more special.
She has experience living in a home with multiple other cats, so she may do well in a calm, cat-friendly environment—especially with patient companions who respect her space.
Misty would thrive in a peaceful home where she can settle in at her own pace and build trust gradually. With a little patience and a lot of love, she’ll reward you with quiet companionship and a loyal heart.
Hi, I'm Daffo-dill Pickle.
Meet Daffo-dill Pickle — the sweetest little chatterbox you’ll ever meet! This young guy has a lot to say and absolutely loves being part of the conversation. Whether he’s greeting you at the door, supervising dinner prep, or reminding you it’s snack time, Daffo-dill Pickle is always ready to brighten your day with his affectionate personality and adorable commentary.
He’s incredibly people-friendly, loves attention, and is highly food motivated — treats are definitely the way to his heart. That makes him not only fun to spoil, but also a great candidate for learning routines and interactive play. Daffo-dill Pickle would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of love, cozy spots to nap, and humans who appreciate a cat with personality.
Hi, I'm Penelope.
Sweet Penelope came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. Upon coming in the shelter, Penelope showed us her social, happy self and hasn’t wavered from that. We are starting to see her playful side as well now! Penelope’s past is a mystery so her family should be dedicated to getting to know her and understanding her. Maybe she just doesn’t want to show us yet, but Penelope doesn’t seem to know many cues and would love a family to begin teaching her some things! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply today!

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.
