Hi, I'm Lady Spots-a-Lot.
Lady Spots-a-lot is a beautiful young pup with a heart that’s growing a little bigger every day. When she first arrived as a stray, she wasn’t quite sure what to make of shelter life. With patience and kindness from staff, she’s started to blossom into the playful, energetic girl we knew was hiding inside. As her confidence grows, so does her affectionate side. She loves attention from the people she trusts and is always ready for some fun once she feels comfortable. Since she came to us as a stray, we don’t know what her life looked like before the shelter, but we do know she deserves a future filled with love, adventure, and security. Lady Spots-a-lot would thrive with a family willing to give her a little time to settle in and continue building her confidence. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to make up for lost time.

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!
Hi, I'm Hambone.
Hambone is a sweet, energetic young pup who’s ready to find a family that can keep up with his zest for life! Found as a stray, his past is a mystery, but he’s already shown us that he’s eager to learn and loves being around his people. Like many young dogs, Hambone is still working on his manners and can be a little vocal when he’s excited, but his enthusiasm and willingness to please make him a great candidate for training. With a committed family willing to invest in socialization and positive reinforcement, Hambone is sure to grow into an amazing companion. Whether he’s zooming around the yard or soaking up attention from his favorite people, Hambone is happiest when he’s part of the action. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal best friend who’s ready for life’s next adventure, Hambone might just be your perfect match!

Hi, I'm Knucklehead.
Dweeb, Scamp, and Knucklehead reporting for duty! This tiny trio was found sick on W. Market Street and have been recovering in the veterinary wing, but are cleared and ready to ride outta here! Due to their medical stay, they’re a bit reserved with strangers and unsure about everything, but they have plenty of time to learn—and a love of toys and food to exploit. Of the group, Knucklehead is the middle of the pack in terms of how outgoing he is.
Due to their backstory, we don’t know how Dweeb, Scamp, and Knucklehead feel about living with other animals or small children, but they’re young enough that we hope they’d be willing to learn! A slow, well-managed introduction is always best. Though these three may take more time than some others to warm up to you, we think they have a lot of potential for the family willing to take a chance on them.

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.
