Hi, I'm Pepper.
Pepper came to us as a stray after being found with another dog. It’s no surprise that the busy shelter environment was overwhelming for her at first, but each day she continues to grow more confident and come out of her shell. Pepper can be a bit talkative when she sees other dogs or when she’s feeling nervous, but we’ve discovered the quickest way to her heart is with a tasty snack. Once you’ve earned her trust, you’ll have a loyal friend for life. Because we don’t know Pepper’s past, she’s looking for a patient and understanding family that will give her the time she needs to adjust. She has shown some anxious tendencies here at the shelter, but we’ve also seen her playful, affectionate personality blossom as she becomes more comfortable. With love, patience, and a little encouragement, we know Pepper will become a wonderful companion for the lucky family that gives her a chance.

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 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.
