Strawberry Shortcake is looking for a loving forever home where she can be cherished for the wonderful little girl she is. She may do things a little differently, but she doesn’t let that slow her down! 🥰
If you’re ready to add a little extra sweetness to your life, Strawberry Shortcake is waiting to steal your heart! 🍓❤️
Hi, I'm Scout.
Scout came to us as a stray, so his past is a mystery. When he first arrived, he was a nervous boy, but with time and patience, he’s really started to come out of his shell. Scout is looking for a patient family that will give him the time he needs to settle into his new home. At first, he may seem a little independent, but once he feels safe, his affectionate side shines through. He loves gentle pets, happily accepts tasty treats, and enjoys chasing toys around the yard. Give Scout the chance to build his confidence, and you’ll gain a loyal companion who’s worth the wait.

Hi, I'm Dust Bunny.
Dust Bunny is proof that the best treasures are sometimes hiding under the couch. Found as a stray, her past is a mystery, but she’s already showing us what a sweet girl she is. She walks nicely on a leash, happily accepts tasty treats, and loves soaking up affection from people she trusts. With patience, love, and the chance to adjust at her own pace, we’re confident her true personality will shine. If you’re looking for a gentle companion to watch blossom, Dust Bunny might just be the perfect addition to your home.

Hi, I'm Rita.
This beautiful young Husky definitely knows how to make an entrance! Rita came to us as a stray, so her past is a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that once she’s comfortable, she’s a playful, goofy girl who is ready to have some fun! Rita is still working on her manners, so her ideal family will be patient, willing to put in some training, and ready to help her become the best version of herself. Give her a little time, a little guidance, and a whole lot of love, and Rita might just be the number one girl in your life. After all… a little bit of Rita in your life, and suddenly your heart is dancing!

Hi, I'm Raven.
Raven is a much-loved double digits senior kitty (11 years old) who has been with her family her entire life. From kittenhood to her golden years, she has stayed with them. Unfortunately, due to the development of severe allergies in her human household, she has to start over. Raven was described by her family as a great pet who is very sweet and loves attention, but she has an independent streak and is more of a drive-by lover. When she deigns to give it to you, she will shower you with her affection and thankfulness. She was said to still play with toys and was recommended as a companion for a low energy household, possibly with a senior.
Raven lived with her children as they grew up and enjoyed children from toddler years to teenagers, being very accustomed to humans. She lived with dogs as well and was tolerant of them, but she could take them or leave them. Raven has not lived with cats. Raven is front-declawed and was reported by her family to be deaf, making her a truly unique soul searching for an understanding and open-minded family to live out her days alongside.

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.
