Meet Admiral!
Admiral is a total sweetheart with a heart as big as his adorable floppy ears! This handsome pup turns heads with his huge, goofy-cute feet and soulful eyes, but it's his loving personality that truly wins everyone over.
Admiral keeps his kennel spotless — a clear sign he’s got great house manners and is likely well on his way to being housetrained. He lives for affection and melts into every brush stroke and cuddle you give him. Grooming time? It’s his favorite bonding moment.
Whether you're looking for a loyal companion or a snuggle buddy with oversized paws, Admiral is ready to be your new best friend. He’s gentle, affectionate, and just waiting for someone to give him the love he so clearly craves. |

Backspace
2-3 yr Female (spayed/UTD on vaccinations)
Meet Backspace!
Backspace is a lovely mama cat who came to us with her three adorable kittens, and now that they’re growing up and finding homes of their own, it’s her turn to shine! This sweet girl has a unique bobbed tail that adds to her charm and makes her extra cute.
She’s friendly and social, and she enjoys attention—just on her terms. Backspace can get a little overstimulated with too much petting, so she’d do best with someone who understands feline body language and respects her boundaries. She's not mean about it, just a little sassy!
If you're looking for a cat with personality, a dash of independence, and a truly one-of-a-kind look, Backspace might be the perfect match. She’s ready for a cozy home where she can finally relax and be pampered—just the way she deserves.
She does not like the company of other cats and would do best in home by herself.

Aruba Ariba
6 weeks Male
Meet Aruba Ariba – a brave little kitten with a big name and an even bigger heart. Born outside, Aruba didn’t have the best start to life and is still learning that humans can be pretty great. He’s come such a long way since arriving at the shelter. While he’s not completely trusting just yet, he’s starting to realize that love and cuddles aren't so scary after all.
Once you pick him up, he latches onto you like a little Velcro kitty – holding on tight as if he’s saying, “Don’t let me go.” Alabama just needs a little more patience, kindness, and human interaction to fully blossom into the affectionate, loving companion he’s destined to be. If you’re willing to give him that chance, he’s ready to give you his whole heart.

Clowder

Meet Clowder – a one-of-a-kind ginger kitten with a coat that’s truly unforgettable! He has the most unique snail shell–striped swirl on his side that looks like it was painted by an artist. With his big, expressive ears and bright curious eyes, Clowder is full of charm and kitten energy.
This little guy is destined to grow into the cutest ginger cat around, and he’s already stealing hearts with his sweet personality. Whether he’s batting at toys, chasing shadows, or curling up for a cozy nap, Clowder is ready to bring joy, playfulness, and love into your life.

Litter
9 weeks Female
Meet Litter – the queen of the Resting B*tch Face! Don’t let her serious expression fool you—behind that intense stare is a shy sweetheart who’s just starting to learn that humans can be kind, gentle, and full of love.
Litter may take a little time to warm up, but once she knows you're safe, she blossoms into the most loyal little companion. With a soft voice, a slow approach, and a few tasty treats, you’ll earn her trust—and her heart.
She’s not the kind of kitten to demand attention right away, but give her a chance and she’ll be your forever friend, the quiet shadow who keeps you company and brings a calm warmth to your world.

Tango
10-12 weeks Male
Meet Tango, a special little guy with a heart full of love and a unique way of moving through the world! Tango has wobbly cat syndrome (cerebellar hypoplasia), a non-progressive neurological condition that affects his coordination and balance. Don’t worry — he’s not in any pain and doesn’t know he’s any different!
Tango walks with an adorable wobble and may stumble or tip over now and then, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He’s full of personality, loves attention, and enjoys lounging in cozy spots or playing with toys he can chase and pounce on at his own pace.
Because of his wobbliness, Tango needs a home that’s extra safe — especially when it comes to heights. He can’t judge jumps very well and could get hurt trying to leap onto high surfaces, so low furniture, soft landings, and carpeted floors are ideal for helping him get around safely.
Tango may be a little unsteady, but he makes up for it with extra charm, resilience, and affection. If you’re looking for a joyful, one-of-a-kind companion, Tango just might dance his way into your heart!

Kindle has the cutest little face, full of mystery and charm, and once she feels safe, she'll be your mischievous shadow. She’s the perfect mix of sweet and sassy — a hidden gem ready to light up your home.

Mira (74 lbs)
4 years Female (spayed)
Meet Mira, a lovely black-coated girl with striking white markings and a calm, watchful presence. Before arriving at the shelter, Mira lived a meaningful life as a devoted chicken protector, watching over her feathered friends on a farm. She spent her days outside near the coop, roaming the property and keeping a gentle but steady eye on everything around her.
Mira is more than just a farm dog—she’s a loyal guardian and companion who takes her role seriously. She thrives in open spaces and would be happiest in a rural environment where she can stretch her legs, breathe fresh air, and continue doing what she does best: looking after her home and animal family.
If you're looking for a trustworthy, intelligent, and grounded companion to share your farm life with, Mira is ready to step back into her element—and into your heart

Baby Girl- mix breed (68lbs)
7yrs Female (spayed/UTD on vaccinations)
Meet Baby Girl!
This adorable sweetheart is a little on the chonky side, but don’t let that fool you—Baby Girl can still get the zoomies like a pro! She loves to run around the yard, soaking up the fresh air before settling in for a well-earned nap. Whether she’s trotting happily on a walk (she’s a dream on the leash!) or doing her business like a lady outside, Baby Girl is all about the simple joys in life.
With her irresistibly cute face and gentle personality, Baby Girl is looking for a calm, loving home where she can lounge around and be your cozy companion. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate pup who enjoys both bursts of play and long stretches of relaxation, Baby Girl might just be your perfect match. She is an easy keeper. And potty trained!
|
Chanel-Pittie mix (45lbs)
2-3 yr Female
Chanel is a beautiful and sweet girl who recently came to our shelter as a stray. She’s still settling in, so we’re learning more about her personality each day—but one thing is already clear: she’s full of love and charm!
Chanel has been nothing but affectionate with our staff and volunteers, always eager for attention and kindhearted in her interactions. While she’s still getting used to shelter life, her gentle and friendly nature shines through.
One thing we’ve noticed is that Chanel gets very excited around cats—a little too excited—so a home without feline friends would be best for her. We’re still figuring out how she feels about other dogs, but she may do well with a proper introduction.
Chanel is ready to trade in her stray days for a life filled with comfort, companionship, and lots of cuddles.

Rango aka Sir Wagginton-Hound mix(35lbs)
6-7 years Male (neutered/UTD on vaccinations)
Meet Rango! Rango is a lovable male Pointer/Hound mix with a heart full of affection and a personality that lights up any room. His enthusiasm for human company is unmatched, and he loves showing his affection by sitting right against you, leaning into you for pets, and offering up endless cuddles. His wagging tail is a constant source of joy—so much so that his happy tail has earned him a few bumps and scrapes, especially during his time at the shelter, but nothing can stop him from wagging it with pure excitement.
Rango’s deep bond with humans is truly special; he thrives on companionship and can often be found with his tail happily wagging as he enjoys every moment of attention. Though he’s loving and sweet with people, Rango is not a fan of other male dogs. We think he may do ok with a spayed female. Despite this, his loyalty and affection towards his human family are unwavering, and he’s sure to bring boundless joy and warmth to anyone lucky enough to earn his love.

Shortshot-small breed mix (13lbs)
6-7 years Male
Meet Shortshot – a little dog with a big personality! This middle-aged cutie is easy on the leash and enjoys his strolls like a true gentleman. Don’t let his size fool you—Shortshot has what we like to call “small man syndrome.” He thinks he’s 10 feet tall and isn’t afraid to let you know it! Because of his bold personality, he wouldn’t be the best fit for a home with very small children, but he could thrive in a quieter home where he can rule the roost.
Shortshot would be absolutely adorable in a collection of cozy sweaters, and he’ll strut his stuff like he’s on the doggy runway. If you're looking for a confident little companion with tons of character, come meet Shortshot—you just might fall in love with this pint-sized boss

Knox-German Shepard(90lbs)
10 years Male

Beans-Boxer mix
7-9 months Male
Meet Beans!
Beans hasn’t had the best start to life. This sweet puppy has clearly been mistreated and neglected — skinny, stinky, and looking like he’s been living in his own little mess for far too long. Despite it all, his spirit hasn’t been broken. Beans is full of love and ready for someone to show him what a real home feels like.
He has the most unique-colored face that makes him stand out from the crowd, and his gentle, loving personality will melt your heart. Since no one ever taught him how to be a proper house dog, Beans will need some patience and guidance with potty training and learning the ropes of indoor life.

Beasley- Terrier mix(35lbs)(In Foster To Adopt home)
4-5 yrs Male
Beasley came to us as a stray, so we’re still getting to know him. This petite pittie mix is currently underweight at just 35 pounds, but with some good food and lots of love, he’ll be looking his best in no time.
Beasley is still a little anxious as he adjusts to the shelter environment, but he’s showing us glimpses of his gentle, loving personality. He’s looking for someone patient who can help him build confidence and show him what it means to be part of a family.
