Nyssa – Ready for Adoption!

Well-behaved women seldom make history, or so they say. My name is Nyssa and I'm destined for awesomeness! Can't you just picture me wearing a flowing superhero cape?  I'm five months old and learning and growing every day. I've got LOTS of energy! Right now, it's just kind of... untethered, free-floating energy, and I don't really know what to do with it all. I'm dazzling and brilliant and, I'll be straight with you: a bit of a wild child.  All that means is that I need a human who can work with me and teach me to channel all that potential into

Woody – Ready for Adoption!

What can I say? Yes, I really am every bit as magnificent as I look.  My name is Woody and I know what you're thinking: Is that a Maine Coon? It depends. Do you want me to be a Maine Coon? Then, my friend... I'm whatever you want. I'm massive and friendly and fluffy and it's not like you're going to breed me, so if you want to tell everyone you've got a Maine Coon, then sure. Now, if you want the technical truth, then I'll give it to you. I'm not a Maine nothin'. I'm a domestic longhair. Just an

June Bug – Ready for Adoption!

January getting you down? I know exactly what you need: a little bit of JUNE!  My name is June Bug and, in a world full of seemingly endless piles and piles of dirty gray snow, I'll be your green trees and wildflowers. I'll be your long evenings and lemonade on the porch.  We all need a little bit of warmth, me included. I'm sometimes a little unsure of myself and need a bit of gentle reassurance in order to feel safe. Once I get to know and trust you and feel at home, though, I'm a total sweetheart! I love to cuddle,

Philomena – Ready for Adoption!

At first glance, I might seem like I don’t want friends. Nope. No thanks. Not interested. Okay, fine—that’s not entirely true. I do want love, but on my terms. The shelter is overwhelming—too many people, too many cats. It’s like being stuck in Walmart on December 23. I just want to go home. I’m a little socially awkward. I run to greet people I like… then panic and run away. I get along with other cats, as long as we act like polite strangers. No small talk, no unnecessary interaction—just coexistence. Even here, I find joy—chirping bird toys, zoomies, squeeze-up

Ace – Ready for Adoption!

Marshmallow. Champion. Good Boy. The Cutest Dog in the Bi-State Area. That's me! My name is Ace and I'm everyone's favorite. Once you meet me, I'll be yours, too!  Like your neighborhood scarecrow, I'm outstanding in my field. I'm good with cats, good with other dogs, have lived with older kids, and am a super-friendly guy. In my previous home, I was housebroken and crate trained. All-in-all, I'm a total gentleman.  I'm three years old, floofy all over, and about 65 lb. I'm cheerful and polite and generally irresistible! I would like to live in a home with a secure fenced yard

Scout – Ready for Adoption!

You may be thinking, "Now, that's a goofy-looking dawg, but I bet he's real dignified at heart."  SURPRISE! NO, I'M NOT! I'm goofy on the inside, too! My name is Scout and, if you want a dog who will make you say "oh my goodness, you are so cute!" approximately once every thirty seconds, I'm your guy. I'm a huge fan of toys- the kind of guy who likes to see how many I can fit in my mouth and then go for a walk carrying them. I love cookies and will sit nicely for one (as you can see here),
