Hi, I'm Boswell.
Hi, I’m Boswell! I came from a large hoarding case, so the world is still a pretty new place to me. When I first arrived in foster care, I was very timid and unsure, but every day I’m becoming a little braver. I may not be ready for lots of pets just yet, but I love being close to my people and quietly watching everything they do. My favorite thing is going for walks—I stay right by your side and enjoy exploring at my own pace. I’m crate trained, house trained with a consistent routine, and get along well with other dogs and even cats. I’m a smart boy who just needs a calm, patient family willing to let me build trust at my own speed. As my foster says, I improve a little every single day, and with kindness and understanding, I know I’ll continue to blossom into a wonderful companion.

Hi, I'm Baby.
Baby is a sweet senior sweetheart with a gentle nature and a loving heart. This charming older lady enjoys the simple things in life—comfortable naps, quiet companionship, and spending time with the people she loves. Her calm demeanor and affectionate personality make her a wonderful companion for anyone looking to share their home with a devoted feline friend.
Baby’s greatest treasure is her sister, Bailey Sue. The two share a very special bond and have spent years side by side, providing each other with comfort, companionship, and friendship. Whether they’re relaxing together or exploring their surroundings, they are happiest when they’re with one another. Because of their close connection, Baby and Bailey Sue are looking for a forever home where they can remain together.
As a senior cat, Baby is ready to trade the uncertainty of shelter life for a cozy home filled with love and kindness. She has so much affection to give and would love nothing more than to spend her golden years alongside her beloved sister and a family to call her own.
Hi, I'm Cooper.
Cooper is a handsome senior gentleman who came to us after his owner moved and was unable to take him along. Despite this big change in his life, Cooper has remained the sweet, laid-back boy we’ve come to know and love. Cooper enjoys the simple things in life, leisurely walks, plenty of time to sniff and explore, and soaking up affection from his favorite people. As we continue getting to know him, he has shown us that he is a well-mannered companion with a gentle nature. Now, Cooper is looking for a loving family to spend his golden years with. He deserves a comfortable home, a cozy place to rest, and people who will cherish him for the wonderful dog he is. In return, Cooper is ready to offer loyalty, companionship, and plenty of love.

Hi, I'm Honey Dew.
Honey Dew is a lovely girl who came to us as a stray, and from the moment she arrived, she showed us what a kind, gentle, and loving companion she is. When Honey Dew came into our care, we discovered a few medical concerns that have since been addressed. She has arthritis and skin allergies, both of which are managed with daily medication. She also had a mass removed that was diagnosed as a mast cell tumor. While the mass has been removed, these tumors can recur and will require prompt veterinary evaluation and treatment if new masses develop. Any family interested in Honey Dew should be prepared for her ongoing medical needs and committed to providing the care necessary to keep her happy and comfortable. In return, they’ll gain a truly sweet, affectionate dog who has so much love to give. Honey Dew is a gentle soul who deserves a family willing to cherish her and give her the wonderful quality of life she deserves.

Hi, I'm Curly Fry.
🧡 Curly Fry 🧡
🐾 Curly Fry is ready to trade motherhood for the spoiled life she deserves! This sweet young girl did an amazing job raising her kittens, and now it’s finally her turn to be the playful, carefree kitten she was always meant to be.
🥰 A true Velcro cat, Curly Fry wants to be wherever her people are. She’s incredibly affectionate, loves to snuggle, and will happily chat with you throughout the day. When she’s not curled up beside you, she’s busy climbing, chasing toys, or exploring.
🐱 Curly Fry loves other cats and would thrive in a home with a confident feline friend. She’s curious about dogs and would likely do well with a slow introduction. She can be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality shines.
💕 If you’re looking for a loving little shadow who just wants to be by your side, Curly Fry is ready to steal your heart.

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.
