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 Bella.
You can’t walk into the shelter without seeing Bella at the door, paws waving with wild abandon in an attempt to catch your attention. Bella is a sweet senior girl who came into the shelter due to her new owner’s declining health after her original owner passed. Bella was described as a chatterbox attention-seeker who loved to be pet and keep her humans company in their mutual older years. She is quite into food as well, though her diet must be controlled thanks to a diagnosis of diabetes, which is being managed through supportive food and daily insulin.
Bella came from a home with other cats, though she was not around dogs or children. According to her family, she has always been more people-centered than anything, but she could share her humans if needed. Bella hasn’t let her golden years dull her enthusiasm and zest for life, so the family who takes her on should be prepared for lively conversations over the food bowl and insistent demands to be paid attention to. For those whose idea of fun is a feline companion you can’t forget, Bella will be receiving visitors in her luxurious condo room after breakfast.
Hi, I'm Corncob Bob.
Corncob Bob came to us as a stray, but he’s ready to plant his roots in a forever home. This handsome guy is full of energy, personality, and playfulness. He’s the kind of dog who wakes up ready to go whether that’s adventures, zoomies in the yard, or learning something new. Bob would thrive with a family that can give him structure, consistency, and positive training to help him be his very best self. He’s smart, eager, and has all the potential to shine when his needs are met. An active home will be key for this corny king; think walks, playtime, and plenty of outlets to burn off that fun-loving energy. If you’re looking for a lively, lovable companion who is equal parts goofy and great, Corncob Bob is ready to butter you up and steal your heart.

Hi, I'm Fozzie Bear.
Wocka wocka! My name is Fozzie Bear, and before you ask, yes, I am every bit as charming as my name suggests. Now, I’ll be honest with you. When I first arrived at the shelter, I wasn’t exactly ready to take center stage. The shelter was a big, noisy, overwhelming place, and I wasn’t sure what to think about all these strangers wanting to be my friend. Thankfully, the humans here didn’t rush me. They gave me time, space, and patience, and little by little I started realizing that maybe people aren’t so scary after all. These days, I’m still taking introductions at my own pace. I’m meeting new staff and volunteers slowly, but everyone says I’m making incredible progress. Once I decide you’re part of my fan club, though, that’s when the real show begins. You see, I’ve been hiding a few talents. I know tricks! I love to play! And underneath all that initial shyness is a sweet, affectionate boy who really enjoys spending time with his favorite people. Who knew? Because trust doesn’t happen overnight for me, I’m looking for a family with patience in abundance. The kind of people who understand that the best things in life are worth waiting for. I may need a few meet-and-greets before I’m ready to pack my bags and head home, but I promise I’m not trying to be difficult, I’m just making sure we’re the perfect match. The shelter staff are dedicated to helping me find my people, and I know they’re out there somewhere. Maybe you’re the family willing to invest a little extra time for a lifetime of love!
Hi, I'm Pip Pip Cheerio.
Hi, I’m Pip Pip Cheerio! I’m a lovable little guy whose favorite thing in the world is being close to my people—seriously, I’m happiest when I’m cuddled right on top of you. I may have had a rough start settling into foster care, but after a few days I relaxed and showed everyone what a sweet, affectionate boy I really am. I enjoy leisurely walks, chew toys, tug-of-war, and relaxing on the couch with my humans. I can be a little vocal when I see strangers or other dogs out on walks, but with reassurance and redirection, I calm down nicely and usually end up enjoying the attention. With my adorable floppy ear and cuddly personality, I’m just looking for a loving home where I can soak up all the affection I deserve!

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.
