Hi, I'm Snickers.
Meet Snickers! 🐾
Snickers is a gentle, sweet boy with a soft heart and the cutest little kitten-like meow. Once he feels comfortable, he absolutely loves attention—rolling onto his back, purring, and making biscuits while you pet him.
He may be a bit shy at first and will need some patience as he settles in, but he’s incredibly gentle and blossoms into a loving, social companion once he feels safe. He’s now really coming out of his shell and starting to show his playful side—especially when it comes to feather toys!
Snickers has been an easy houseguest. He uses the litter box perfectly, eats both wet and dry food (especially chicken pâté!), and enjoys a calm routine with plenty of cozy time in the evenings. Snickers would do best in a quieter home with someone who will give him time to adjust and build his confidence. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with lots of love (and a little playtime!), Snickers might be your perfect match. 💕🐱
Hi, I'm Zebra Cakes.
Zebra Cakes is a big, sweet boy with a nose that never quits- he loves taking in the world one sniff at a time and is happiest when he’s out exploring. He may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he turns into a total softie who just wants to be close to his people. When the adventure slows down, his treat-motivated side shines, making him a fun and rewarding companion to bond with.
Hi, I'm Karen Michelle.
Karen Michelle came to us as a stray, but you’d never guess it by how sweet and loving she is. From day one, she’s been all heart, soaking up attention and showing off her playful side whenever toys are involved (which is often, because she loves them). Karen Michelle is looking for a home where she can be your one-and-only when it comes to smaller animals, no cats or little critters for this girl. But what she does bring is a whole lot of love, fun, and companionship. If you’re looking for a loyal, toy-loving best friend who’s ready to leave her stray days behind, Karen Michelle is ready to meet you.

Hi, I'm Koda.
Koda came to us at no fault of his own. At 6 years old, he’s still trying to understand why he’s in the shelter, but what he really knows is that he’s ready to find a family to call his again. Koda is a sweet, gentle boy with a heart full of love. He enjoys his playtime, but what he truly loves most is being close to his people. Whether it’s going for a walk or just spending quiet time together, Koda is happiest by your side. He’s the kind of dog who will fit right into a home looking for a loyal, loving companion.

Hi, I'm Bullet Bill.
Bullet Bill is ready to launch straight into your heart. This strong, friendly boy was adopted but could not adjust to the cats in the home and was returned. Much like his namesake from Super Mario, Bullet Bill is full speed ahead when it comes to love, loyalty, and companionship. Bullet Bill is the kind of companion who will stick with you through every level of life whether you’re going on adventures or just powering down at home. He’s friendly, devoted, and absolutely ready to be someone’s Player 2. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who will zoom straight into your life and never look back, Bullet Bill is ready to press start on his next chapter with 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.
