Hi, I'm Kangaroo.
Kangaroo is a gentle, sensitive girl who is looking for a patient family willing to help her build confidence at her own pace. Because she can be nervous in new situations, she would do best in a quiet home with older children who can understand and respect her need for space while she settles in. As a stray, we don’t know much about Kangaroo’s past, but we do know that the shelter environment has been overwhelming for her. Despite her fears, she has shown us that she has a sweet nature and wants to connect with people she trusts. A calm, understanding home will give her the chance to decompress, feel safe, and begin showing the wonderful dog she truly is. With time, patience, and kindness, Kangaroo is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

Hi, I'm Lily.
Lily came to us after her owner sadly passed away, and the big changes in her life left her feeling confused and shut down at first. As she’s settled in, Lily has slowly started to let her personality shine through. She enjoys going for walks, loves a good game of fetch, and is beginning to show her sweet side more each day. Lily may need a little time to warm up to new people and does seem more nervous around men, so a patient and understanding family will help her feel safe and secure. She would do best in a home with older children who can respect her space while she adjusts. Lily is looking for a calm, loving home where she can continue building confidence and finally feel comfortable again. No cats for this girl, and we are still unsure how she feels about other dogs.

Hi, I'm Chopper.
🩺 Meet Chopper
The Straw Hat Crew’s doctor may be the quietest member of the crew, but she’s also one of the sweetest. Chopper was a little cautious when she first arrived in foster care and preferred to keep her distance during the day. But every day she grows a little braver, and once she feels comfortable, her affectionate side shines through. In fact, Chopper has become known as one of the biggest cuddle bugs in the litter at bedtime, happily snuggling up beside her people while the rest of the world winds down. She still appreciates a gentle approach and a little patience, but adopters willing to let her blossom will be rewarded with a loving, loyal companion who is well worth the wait.
Hi, I'm Zoro.
⚔️ Meet Zoro
Every pirate crew needs a fearless swordsman, and Zoro proudly fills that role for the Straw Hat Crew! This handsome kitten is always ready for his next adventure, whether that means chasing spring toys across the room, climbing to the top of the scratching post, or challenging one of his siblings to a friendly wrestling match. Zoro is full of playful kitten energy, but he’s also incredibly affectionate. He loves rubbing against your ankles to say hello and is happy to settle down nearby once he’s worn himself out. With his brave spirit, loving personality, and endless curiosity, Zoro is ready to set sail for a lifetime of adventures with his forever family.
Hi, I'm Nami.
🧭 Meet Nami
As the navigator of the Straw Hat Crew, Nami likes to know exactly what’s happening around her at all times. Curious, observant, and always ready to explore, she can often be found investigating a new toy, watching the world from a cozy perch, or racing around with her siblings during an energetic play session. Nami is playful and confident, but she also enjoys spending time with her people and will happily stop by for attention and affection. Her combination of curiosity, intelligence, and sweetness makes her a delightful companion who is sure to keep her future family entertained.

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.
