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 Lil Guy.
Big old lover boy Lil Guy (no longer little) is looking for his next lap to sit in! Lil Guy’s story as we know it began when he waltzed into his previous family’s college housing and made himself at home. Due to a sudden change in housing, he wasn’t able to go along, but this sweetheart should be a fit for all sorts of families! Reportedly experienced with young kids, cats, and dogs, and enjoying both playtime and cuddles, Lil Guy made a strong impression by head butting staff right from the start.
Lil Guy was said to enjoy being brushed, food of all kinds (though he will overeat wet food and should have controlled portions), laser toys, and water fountains. He slept in bed with his old favorite human and would be cuddled up on their arms. He was reported to drool when he got a really good snooze cuddle in. Though he will benefit from a bit of weight loss support, the family who takes Lil Guy home will surely end up with a loving, versatile feline friend they won’t forget.
Hi, I'm Indie.
Sweet Indie came to us after her owner could no longer afford her medical care. Indie has a history of allergies and would need a family who is prepared manage and monitor them to keep Indie healthy. Despite her allergies, Indie is a very loving and affectionate girl. Everyone she meets is a friend and she wants nothing but your love and attention. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply today!

Hi, I'm Sugar glider.
Sugar Glider is my name, being cute is my game! I came in as a stray and it’s crazy, but no one came to reclaim me. The nice people around here told me that’s okay though, and they’d make sure to find me a really great home. I am an affectionate fella and just want to be on your lap. I can’t wait to find a home that is ready for all things fun! I need a family ready to show me the ropes to things I might still need to learn, like potty training, crate training, and some basic training. I promise my cute little face and adorable personality will be worth any of the work needed for me!
Hi, I'm Tofu.
Tofu is a handsome large mixed-breed dog with striking eyes and a gentle personality that is just beginning to shine through. Since arriving at the shelter, he has been slowly coming out of his shell and showing us more of who he is each day. Tofu may be a little reserved when meeting new people, but he appreciates being given the time and space to get comfortable at his own pace. Once he starts to feel safe, his sweet nature begins to emerge. As we’re still getting to know him, we’re excited to continue watching his confidence grow. Because Tofu came to us as a stray, we don’t have any information about his past. What we do know is that he’s looking for a patient and understanding family willing to let him settle in and adjust. With kindness, consistency, and a little time, Tofu has all the potential to become a wonderful companion.

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.
