Hi, I'm Louie.
Hi, I’m Louie! I came from a large hoarding case, so the world can still feel a little overwhelming sometimes, but every day I grow more confident and comfortable. Once I feel safe, my sweet personality shines through—I’m affectionate, playful, and love giving kisses to my favorite people. I enjoy the best of both worlds: long walks, exploring, puzzle toys, and playing with other dogs, but I’m also perfectly happy curling up on the couch for a relaxing evening. I’ve done wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, am indifferent to cats, and warm up to new people with a little patience and space. As a smart Collie mix, I love having both physical exercise and mental enrichment to keep me engaged. I may need a little time to adjust to a new home, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal companion and best friend. My foster family says I have so much love to give—and they’re absolutely right.

Hi, I'm Harlan.
Harlan is a lovely older lady with a sweet, affectionate personality and plenty of love left to give. She enjoys spending time with her people, soaking up gentle pets, relaxing nearby, and sharing the quiet companionship that only a mature cat can provide.
As a senior cat, Harlan has outgrown the chaos of kittenhood and appreciates the comforts of a calm, predictable home. She knows what she likes—and one thing she’s certain about is that she’d prefer to be your one and only pet. Harlan isn’t a fan of sharing her space with other animals and would thrive in a home where she can enjoy all the attention for herself.
Don’t let her age fool you—Harlan still has lots of affection to offer and is ready to form a special bond with a family who will cherish her golden years. Her gentle nature and loving heart make her the perfect companion for someone looking for a devoted feline friend.
Hi, I'm Ollie.
Ollie is an adorable 5-month-old puppy with so much potential, but he’s looking for a very special home that understands he’s still learning how to navigate the world. Despite his young age, Ollie has shown resource guarding behaviors and can be uncomfortable with quick movements toward his face, responding by snapping when he feels threatened. Ollie will need a committed adopter who is prepared to invest in positive reinforcement training, continued socialization, and thoughtful management to help him build confidence and appropriate coping skills. Because he needs his boundaries respected, Ollie is looking for an adult-only home, or at minimum a home with children 13 years or older. We truly believe Ollie has the ability to become a wonderful companion with the right guidance, patience, and commitment. His future family should be ready to celebrate the small victories and help him become the best version of himself.

Hi, I'm Leche.
Leche is a sweet, gentle girl with a soft heart and a quiet charm. She enjoys cozy naps, watching the world from a sunny window, and spending time with her beloved sister, Crema. The two are deeply bonded and rely on each other for comfort, play, and companionship, so they’re looking for a home where they can stay together.
Leche would do best in a home without dogs, as they make her uncomfortable. She’ll thrive in a calm environment where she can settle in at her own pace and show her affectionate, loving personality.
If you’re looking to welcome a beautiful pair of feline sisters into your family, Leche and Crema are ready to fill your home with love, purrs, and lifelong companionship
Hi, I'm Crema.
Crema is a sweet and affectionate girl with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. Whether she’s lounging in a cozy spot, chasing a favorite toy, or curling up for a nap, she’s happiest when she’s by the side of her sister, Leche. These two share a special bond and are looking for a forever home where they can stay together.
Crema is not a fan of dogs, so she’ll do best in a dog-free home where she can feel safe and relaxed. Given a little time to settle in, she’ll reward you with her loving personality and quiet companionship.
If you’re ready to open your heart to a wonderful pair of sisters, Crema and Leche will bring double the love, double the purrs, and endless joy to your home.

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.
