I'm Monica and I've noticed something. Some of the coolest people I know were the last ones picked for every sports team in grade school. Picked last might feel like a rejection in the moment, but it doesn't mean you're not awesome! Maybe it just means that, instead of playing dodgeball for a living, you're destined to, just to, for example... write cat bios. Anyway, here's the thing: I currently live in a little condo with 4 other cats. And- get this- all four of them have been chosen and are going home this weekend, but I'm not. Not yet,
My name is Debra Cadabra and I'm going to put a spell on you! It will be a luck spell. A love spell. A friendship and fortune spell. And, while it will, of course, be magical, there's nothing supernatural involved! Nah, it's all plain ol' organic love. The best kind! Maybe it will be love at first sight, when you see how cute and compact I am. I mean, you'll have to see me in person to see it, but I've got the cutest tail ever. Maybe, it will take just a moment. The thing is, I sometimes like to play a
I have a question. Are Jefferson County shelter dogs technically American citizens? I just need to know so that I know what national anthem to play when I win the gold medal for Best Puppy Ever. My name is Zatanna. Sounds pretty impressive, right? Like it should come with some fanfare. THE ONE. THE ONLY.ZATANNA... or something like that. It's fitting. You will be impressed when you meet me! I'm really smart and super sweet and I love everyone. If you want a dog you can train, I'm your girl. I'm four months old and have spent half that time here in
Oh, hi. Sorry, I'm not used to people coming to talk to me. I'm Jammy and I'm pleased to meet you. I'm a bit of a wallflower, but that just means it takes a little effort to get to know me. Trust me- it's totally worth the effort! Thing is, the shelter is pretty public and this is where I live for now. It's kind of like being permanently at a school dance where you don't really know anyone. And not being able to leave. If that sounds like your idea of actual hell, then you might get me. And you might
LLLLLLLLLADIES and GENTLEMEN (and those who don't fit neatly in either one of those categories)... START YOUR ENGINES! My name is Jimi and my motor is pretty much always running. You can feel the low rumble of it when you hold me. You might say I'm a Grand Prrrrix champ. I'm a total showstopper of a cat: 13 lb of long and tall with the kind of soft, luxurious hair that makes people jealous (what's my secret? Cat spit.) and a white-tipped tail. I ooze charisma from every pore. I've got magnetism running through my veins. You know what else I've got running
Are you in a rut? Lonely? Life starting to feel a little tedious? Well, my name is Grande and I've got an offer you'd be a fool to pass up! Maybe your bed is a little too spacious. Maybe you think your mailman seems suspicious (frankly, I agree) and you need someone to keep him at bay. Maybe your walks in the park are too efficient and you wish you had someone to remind you to stop and sniff the roses. Fear not, noble human, because I'm here to tell you the secret to happiness: Introducing THE DOG ®! The Dog's

Hi! I'm Priya! I've heard there are some movie-perpetuated stereotypes about dogs who look like me and... I don't know the specifics, but I can only assume that it's simply that everyone knows that black dogs with orange eyebrows are darling sweet fluffy clouds of spun sugar and sunshine who just want to snuggle their teddy bears and shower people with kisses. I mean, that's how I am. Wiggly tail out of control. Big, soft, sensitive heart. If you ask anyone in the shelter to describe me, every one of them says some version of "Oh my gosh, she's SUPER sweet!"
