Sometimes, life doesn't go quite the way you planned. My name is Grace and, at ten years old, I'm starting over! It's not gonna be easy, but I'm ready for the challenge. I've already made lots of friends at the shelter: humans (my favorite), other cats, and even dogs! I'm very affectionate, very personable, and LOVE attention. Scratch my cheeks and I'll leeeeean in and close my eyes. And if you chat with me, I'll meow back- I'm a bubbly girl, always ready for a conversation. In spite of my brilliant colors (my whole back is a vibrant copper- much

My name is Riggs, and yeah- I'm little. Little like a meteorite. Little like a split atom. Little like the seed of a massive redwood tree. I'm only about 20 lb. But I am NOT a "grandma just needs some company" dog or an "I want a little dog because I need something really easy to take care of" dog. I'm a big dog in a little body. I've got energy, brains, and plenty of 'tude! I'm funny, happy, and super friendly, with a tail that wags nonstop! I came in as a stray, so there are some things that
With some cats, what you see is what you get. And with others, you have to dig a little deeper to find the buried treasure. My name is Biscotti and I'm the latter type. I'm that X in the sand that doesn't look like much, but tells you that, with a little time and effort, you'll find jewels. I'm about four years old and have lived three of those years in the shelter. I'm a shy girl- you can see it in my saucer eyes. If I don't know you, I'm probably going to keep my distance. In fact, the

My name is Panda and this is a matter of urgency. My life depends on it. It depends on you. I'm five years old, outgoing, affectionate, and very personable. And I need a foster home, adoptive home, or foster-to-adopt home. The thing is, I'm deteriorating fast in the shelter. I need a home where I can be the only pet. Being around other animals is very distressing for me. There are 58 cats in my section. This is an animal shelter, so every available space is filled up with other animals. That means I have to stay in my cage all the time.
If there's one thing I need you to know about me, it's this: I'm not hopeless. My name is Noodle. I'm just a year old. When I came to the shelter, I was mangy, swollen, and scared. Now, I'm healthy... but still scared. This can be my "before" photo. In a year or so, when I've been with you a while, you can compare it to other photos: me, sprawled on the sofa. Me, begging for chin scratches. Me, soaking up the sunshine. Me, with sparkle in my eyes at last.Can you blame me for being scared? Living in a
My name is Thea and let's be real: I can get creative in telling you all about myself, but you mostly want the basic stats: Age: 5 years Weight: 40ish lb (but I could stand to lose a couple!) Good with Dogs: Good with Cats: Good with Kids: Housebroken: 90%. I will sometimes have an accident if left home alone for the day, but am good if my people are around. Personality: Super friendly, cuddly, a liiiiiiittle (okay, a lot) on the clingy side. Plenty of energy- I love to play! Breed: Kinda Australian cattle doggy, kinda Australian shepherdy, kinda
Hey guys, just thought you might like to see what I would look like in a home, so I posed for you in this little house. My name is Shelby. And this is actually not two pictures of me. The other one is my sister, Truvy. Most people just call both of us "Shelby or Truvy," though. It's easier that way. Like, "Oh, this friendly, playful, cute little cat who has run right up to greet us is either Shelby... or Truvy. And the nearly-identical one close behind her, also coming to see what's up? That's her sister, Truvy. Or Shelby." Are
Here at the shelter, we're in the business of building families and helping animals find love. It's just... usually, it's with a human. Phil and Sally didn't grow up together. They didn't come in together. They met at the shelter and fell in love. Sally had just weaned her children from a previous one-night stand and Phil was beginning to grow comfortable with shelter life after coming in as a stray. Their eyes met across a crowded room, they complimented each other's lovely white bibs and socks, and, before you know it, they had moved in together. It's just a studio apartment
