Hi, I'm Boswell.
Hi, I’m Boswell! I came from a large hoarding case, so the world is still a pretty new place to me. When I first arrived in foster care, I was very timid and unsure, but every day I’m becoming a little braver. I may not be ready for lots of pets just yet, but I love being close to my people and quietly watching everything they do. My favorite thing is going for walks—I stay right by your side and enjoy exploring at my own pace. I’m crate trained, house trained with a consistent routine, and get along well with other dogs and even cats. I’m a smart boy who just needs a calm, patient family willing to let me build trust at my own speed. As my foster says, I improve a little every single day, and with kindness and understanding, I know I’ll continue to blossom into a wonderful companion.

Hi, I'm Nachos at Noon.
Meet Nachos at Noon! This handsome young guy came to us as a stray and has been winning hearts ever since. Like any young dog, Nachos at Noon is still learning the ropes and will benefit from continued training to help him grow into the best version of himself. His future family should be ready to continue building on the great foundation he’s already started. As he gets more comfortable, we’re excited to see even more of his personality shine through. For now, we know he’s a sweet, friendly pup who loves soaking up affection and is ready to share that love with a family of his own.

Hi, I'm Gumby.
Gumby is a sweet senior gentleman who came to us as a stray, and while we don’t know what his life was like before, we know his best days are still ahead. He’s ready to find a loving family to call his own. Gumby has been the definition of laid-back during his time at the shelter. He’s a gentle, easygoing boy who enjoys the simple things in life, soft beds, kind people, and a peaceful place to relax. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate senior companion to share your days with, Gumby may just be the perfect match.

Hi, I'm Daisy.
Meet Daisy, a sweet and affectionate kitten with a heart full of love and a purr that never seems to stop! She may be a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she’ll become your loyal little companion.
As soon as you walk through the door, Daisy will come looking for you to give you the warmest welcome. When she’s in the mood for attention, she’ll flop onto her back, inviting you to rub her tummy and play with her. After a fun play session, she’ll reward you with adorable little kitty kisses.
Daisy’s “motor” is always running—she’s constantly purring and always seems happy and content. She’s playful, curious, and loves just about every toy she can get her paws on. She would especially enjoy a laser toy to chase! She also loves to run, climb, and scratch, so she’ll thrive in a home with plenty of space to explore, a sturdy scratching post, and a cat tree or other climbing opportunities.
If you’re looking for a kitten who’s equal parts playful and loving, Daisy is ready to fill your home with purrs, kisses, and endless entertainment.
Hi, I'm Swiper.
Swiper came to us as a stray and was sadly never reclaimed. When she first arrived, she was overwhelmed by the shelter environment and unsure of the people around her. With patience, consistency, and lots of gentle encouragement, Swiper has slowly learned that she’s safe here and watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding. This smart girl has truly made a huge turnaround and has been doing well meeting new people at the shelter. As a cattle dog, Swiper will thrive with a family that understands her breed’s needs and is willing to give her a little time to settle into yet another new environment. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet personality really begins to shine. Swiper is ready to leave shelter life behind and start the next chapter with a family who can show her just how great life can be.

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.
