Hi, I'm Mira.
Hi, I’m Mira! I came from a large hoarding case, and when I first arrived, I was very scared, shut down, and unsure of the world around me. With love, patience, and a safe place to decompress, I’ve blossomed into a playful, curious, and affectionate girl who is excited to enjoy life. I love toys, zoomies, exploring the yard, and checking out every leaf, flower, and interesting thing I can find. My foster mom says I’m always looking to my people for guidance and love learning new things, which makes me a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active, engaged dog. I can still be a little cautious in new situations, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal shadow, following you everywhere and giving sweet little nose boops to ask if you want to play. I get along well with other dogs, especially ones that can match my playful energy, and my partial blindness doesn’t slow me down one bit. I’m looking for a home that will continue helping me build confidence, keep me active, and give me plenty of love—because once I let you into my heart, you’ll have a best friend for life.

Hi, I'm Sophie.
💕 Meet Sophie 💕
Sophie is a gentle, loving lady looking for a quiet home where she can take things at her own pace. While she’s naturally shy and may retreat to a cozy hiding spot when things feel overwhelming, the real Sophie shines when she’s curled up in your lap. Once settled, she’ll reward you with enthusiastic purrs, sweet headbutts, and even the occasional tiny tongue blep while being pet.
This low-key girl enjoys spending time around other cats, watching their antics from the sidelines, and gently batting at crinkle toys and rope toys. She’s perfectly content with a peaceful routine, plenty of cozy nap spots, and a patient person who understands that trust takes time.
Sophie has overcome some dental issues and manages her arthritis well. Her ideal home is calm, quiet, and free of young children. For someone willing to give her the chance to blossom, Sophie has all the makings of the perfect lap cat and devoted companion.
Hi, I'm Grand Slam.
Like all young puppies, Grand Slam will need patience, consistency, and guidance as she grows into a well-mannered adult dog. Puppies require frequent potty breaks, ongoing house-training, socialization, crate training, and plenty of positive reinforcement as they learn the rules of the world around them. Grand Slam is still learning and will need a family committed to helping her build good habits and confidence. While adorable, Grand Slam has shown hesitancy towards humans, and we believe she will best be suited for a quiet home with older children who can respect her space.

Hi, I'm SpACE Cadet.
Hi, I’m Space Cadet! I’m a happy, playful young guy with lots of love to give and plenty of life left to explore. When I first arrived at the shelter, I was pretty scared and shut down, but after a few days I started to show everyone my sweet, affectionate personality. Now I love spending time with people, playing with other dogs, and soaking up attention. At just 8 months old, I’m still very much a puppy, which means I’m still working on my manners and learning how to be the best dog I can be—but I’m eager to learn and love treats, which makes training fun! If you’re looking for a playful, dog-social companion who’s ready for an active lifestyle and lots of adventures, I’d love to meet you.

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.
