Hi, I'm Mira.
Hi, I’m Mira! I came from a large hoarding case, and when I first arrived, I was very scared, shut down, and unsure of the world around me. With love, patience, and a safe place to decompress, I’ve blossomed into a playful, curious, and affectionate girl who is excited to enjoy life. I love toys, zoomies, exploring the yard, and checking out every leaf, flower, and interesting thing I can find. My foster mom says I’m always looking to my people for guidance and love learning new things, which makes me a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active, engaged dog. I can still be a little cautious in new situations, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal shadow, following you everywhere and giving sweet little nose boops to ask if you want to play. I get along well with other dogs, especially ones that can match my playful energy, and my partial blindness doesn’t slow me down one bit. I’m looking for a home that will continue helping me build confidence, keep me active, and give me plenty of love—because once I let you into my heart, you’ll have a best friend for life.

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 Gus.
This beautiful feather duster tail comes as part of a two-purr-one! 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! Gus opened up first, and while he is still hesitant, he enjoys being pet and will rub up on the cage to solicit attention and give head butts. He reportedly enjoyed a good brushing from staff as well. He seems to be low-key overall but will almost surely be the more outgoing of this duo!

Hi, I'm Zoe.
Zoe is a sweet adult girl with a gentle heart and a quiet nature. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality begins to shine. Zoe enjoys gentle attention, cozy places to relax, and the comfort of having trusted people nearby.
She has previously lived with both cats and dogs, making her a great candidate for a home with other respectful pets. Because she’s on the timid side, Zoe would do best with a patient family willing to give her the time and space she needs to settle in and build confidence.
Watching Zoe come out of her shell is incredibly rewarding. With a little patience and a lot of love, she’ll become a devoted companion who will happily share quiet moments and plenty of affection. If you’re looking for a kind, loving cat who just needs a chance to blossom, Zoe may be the perfect addition to your family
Hi, I'm Oreo.
Oreo is a handsome boy with a gentle soul. He may be a little shy when meeting new people and prefers to take his time getting comfortable, but once he feels safe, his sweet and affectionate personality starts to shine through.
Oreo enjoys a calm environment where he can settle in at his own pace. He isn’t the type to demand attention right away, but he appreciates quiet companionship and will reward your patience with his loving nature.
In the past, Oreo has successfully lived with both cats and dogs, so he may do well in a home with other respectful pets. As with any new pet introduction, a gradual transition will help him feel secure and confident.
If you’re looking for a kind-hearted companion and are willing to give him the time he needs to blossom, Oreo could be the perfect addition to your family. He has so much love to give and is ready to find a forever home where he can truly feel at ease.

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.
