Hi, I'm Almond.
Almond is the confident half of this lovable duo and is always the first to check out new sights and experiences. He naturally takes the lead, helping his best friend Peanut feel safe and comfortable as they navigate the world together. Almond is young, playful, and absolutely loves attention. He thrives on affection and hasn’t met a person he didn’t like since coming into our care. Found as a stray, Almond’s history is unknown, but his future is bright. He’s looking for a family ready to invest time, structure, and love to help him continue learning and growing. Almond and Peanut are bonded and would love to find a home together!

Hi, I'm Hulk.
The incredible Hulk is looking for his incredible (forever) home! Hulk came into the shelter after his owner passed away and relatives were not able to keep him. Hulk is reportedly experienced with kids, dogs, and cats, and was fine sharing his space but didn’t have strong feelings one way or the other about them. He was described as a cat who is chill and enjoys being around his person, lounging in the room with you more than directly cuddling. For us, Hulk is reserved but enjoys chin scratches, pets, and snacks.
In the shelter environment, Hulk has struggled with all the change he’s gone through and is still building his confidence, though he does enjoy a treat and repays it with love. We think Hulk would be a good laid-back semi-independent companion for a family who doesn’t mind building a relationship over time or enjoying a bit of ‘separate but together’ time. We look forward to getting to know him here until his forever family comes along to give him the best golden years a senior guy could ask for!
Hi, I'm Charlie.
Charlie is the more outgoing half of this sweet duo, bringing a little spark of confidence wherever she goes. After being surrendered alongside her best friend Lola due to their owner’s illness, Charlie has been trying to stay brave in a place that feels unfamiliar and overwhelming. She’s a friendly, gentle girl who enjoys attention and is quick to show her affectionate side once she feels comfortable. In a home, Charlie will likely blossom even more, showing off her playful and loving personality. She’s looking for a family who will welcome both her and Lola, giving them the stability and love they’ve always known together.

Hi, I'm Lola.
Lola is the quieter, more reserved half of this bonded pair, taking her time to process the big changes in her life. After losing the only home she’s known, Lola understandably feels unsure in the shelter environment. She finds comfort in Charlie, often looking to her for reassurance and guidance. While Lola may seem shy at first, there’s a sweet and gentle soul just waiting to shine through. We truly believe that once she’s back in a calm, loving home, Lola will begin to open up showing her playful and affectionate side more each day. She may need a little patience, but she gives so much in return. With Charlie by her side and a family to support her, Lola has all the potential to grow into a confident, happy companion.

Hi, I'm Burt.
Hi, I’m Burt! I’m a super sweet, easygoing guy who’s ready for fun and attention. I’m great on leash and love getting out for walks, and while I get excited seeing other dogs, I stay pretty polite about it. I’m a big fan of toys and love running around with them, and treats? Even better—I’m very motivated and might get a little eager taking them, but I’m just excited, not trying to be rough! I also really enjoy attention and being around my people. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who’s easy to handle and full of personality, I might be your guy!

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.
