Hi, I'm Sadie.
Hi, I’m Sadie!
I’m an easygoing sweetheart enjoying my golden years, and I’m happiest simply being near my people. I love gentle pets, cozy cuddles, and spending my days lounging, napping, and following you from room to room. I’m a low-energy girl who enjoys short strolls around the yard but mostly prefers relaxing on the couch or in a comfy bed.
I can be a little anxious when left alone and may let out a howl to let you know I’d rather keep you nearby. I also like to gently nudge doors, so keeping them open helps me avoid accidentally closing myself into a room. I’m a bit of a picky eater, especially when it comes to medication, but with a little patience I do well. Because of arthritis and hip dysplasia, I would do best in a home with a calm routine and minimal stairs.
If you’re looking for a gentle companion to share quiet days and cozy nights, I might be your perfect match.

Hi, I'm Poe.
As Edgar Allen Poe says, there is no beauty without some strangeness, and nobody represents that more than Poe! Poe is a young medium-sized rabbit who came into the shelter due to his owners being unable to care for him anymore. Poe was reported by his previous family to be comfortable being pet and held and okay with children, though he is fearful of being handled in the cage. As such, Poe is looking for a pen-based setup where he doesn’t feel too crowded in (with or without free roaming). While out in the enrichment room, he is much easier to handle and enjoys exploring and playing with toys! Poe is looking for a family that understands the peculiarities of a rabbit and are willing to give Poe to space and time he needs to build a loving, lasting relationship with him, so fans of a little beautiful quirkiness might find their perfect match in Poe!
Hi, I'm Ford Ranger.
Hello, ladies! My name is Ford Ranger, and while I arrived at the shelter as a stray with very little known about my past, I’ve made one thing crystal clear about my future: I am looking for a home where the feminine energy is strong. Listen, it’s Pride Month, so I feel like this is the perfect time to come out and say it, I am a certified Girls’ Guy™. The female staff here? Obsessed with me. Me? Equally obsessed with them. The men? Well… let’s just say we’re still in the “it’s complicated” stage of our relationship. I do require someone with breed experience. I’d prefer an adult-only home who understand that trust takes time and good things are worth waiting for. Once I decide you’re part of my inner circle, though, prepare yourself. I become a world-class cuddle enthusiast. Despite weighing considerably more than a Chihuahua, I firmly believe I am lap-sized. This is not up for debate. I also have a playful side and enjoy having fun with my people. What I need most is a family willing to provide structure, positive reinforcement training, and consistency while I continue building confidence and learning how to navigate the world. So, if your household is giving “women supporting women” energy, if your playlists occasionally feature girl power anthems, and if you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to adore his favorite people, we should probably meet.

Hi, I'm Broc.
If you like ’em big and chunky, read on! Broc and Gus are a bonded pair of male cats who came into the shelter after being left in the home. The change to shelter life has been hard for them, and they are still getting to know us (as we get to know them), though they’ve made progress in their brief time in this chaotic environment! Broc is the more hesitant half of the pair, though even he falls victim to a good cheek scratch. He reportedly enjoyed a good brushing from staff as well. Broc seems to have a case of the shelter-spookies and we believe he will open up quite a bit in a mellow home.
Due to their background, we are unsure how Broc and Gus feel about living with other cats, dogs, or small children. We think based on behavior so far that these mature boys would enjoy a more laidback home where they can adjust at their own pace. You never know though—introverted cats can surprise you once they settle in! Sometimes a shelter-shy guy is the most loving companion of all.
Hi, I'm Gus.
This beautiful feather duster tail comes as part of a two-purr-one! Broc and Gus are a bonded pair of male cats who came into the shelter after being left in the home. The change to shelter life has been hard for them, and they are still getting to know us (as we get to know them), though they’ve made progress in their brief time in this chaotic environment! Gus opened up first, and while he is still hesitant, he enjoys being pet and will rub up on the cage to solicit attention and give head butts. He reportedly enjoyed a good brushing from staff as well. He seems to be low-key overall but will almost surely be the more outgoing of this duo!

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.
