You guys, we need to talk about Sheila. This girl is just two weeks away from the one-year-in-the shelter mark. That will be half her life spent as a shelter dog. And she is a hidden GEM. Like, I work here and it's my job to know how great every animal is and even I had no idea until I met her in the right setting. But, oh my goodness is she a lot of fun! Sheila is a dog who just needs to get the heck out of here and isn't going to really shine until she does. She's like a gorgeous

Things that are rather round: 1. The earth (an oblate spheroid, technically) 2. Bowling balls and other sports-specific spheres. 3. Many lovely fruits, including oranges and cherries. But the nicest of all round things? Me. Gizmo. 20ish pounds of gorgeous. No, I'm not pregnant. I'm a boy... and I'm neutered. I'm just... a substantial boy. Generously proportioned. I'm also an absolute angel. I'm outgoing, confident, curious, and tolerant of all kinds of handling. It's a good thing, too, because I'm pretty irresistible. Everyone wants to get their hands on all ~this~ and I'm definitely here for it! I love attention. I'm

Would you rather spend an evening in your recliner than out on the town? Do you enjoy a lovely walk in the park on a nice day and think the only thing that could make it better would be to have a friend along for company? Well... then I think we might be a good match. Are you on the mature side like I am (I'm nine years old)? Or you just have a heart for the seniors. I'm Penné and I think we might just be perfect for each other. I'm a sweet, sensitive lady who wants nothing more than
Well, I suppose every litter has to have its last one standing, right? I just didn't think it would be me! My name is Groopert and I've waited very patiently, but I'm just a baby. ANY patience from a four-month-old puppy is impressive, right?! It's my turn to find a family to love me, so I'm taking matters into my own paws. First step, I think, is to spread the word about how darling I am. See this little pink nose? These big strawberry blonde ears? These subtle little nose freckles? Ridiculous. Adorable. I can't. And I'm more than just
"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" Well, this one practically can! My name is Turkey and I may not actually be able to flap my ears and soar through the air, but I can bounce, BoUnCe, BOUNCE pretty dang high! I'm as cute as can be, about three years old and thirty pounds. I'm outgoing and funny and athletic, quick to make friends and always up for some playtime! I'm good with other dogs and haven't met cats. I've never met a person I didn't like! I came in as a stray, so I don't know a
My name is Marsh, I'm six months old, and I've heard I'm a "special boy" and I've often wondered what it is about me that makes people say that. Is it that I'm the softest little dreamsicle cloud you've ever had the pleasure of touching? Or that I'm totally fearless, super-outgoing, incredibly charming, and love to play? I mean, I live with a gigantic dog in my foster home and think he's the best thing since Neil Diamond. I'm great with other cats and kids. I'm an expert at turning strangers into friends. I charmed the vet clinic staff so
Parkour! Parkour! Hardcore parkour!My name is Mitty! You can't see my white mitts because I'm using them to cling onto this here cat tree, but trust me: they're there and they're marvelous. I'm seven months old, male, and looking for a home!So, I know there are plenty of people out there who want a cat who mostly just loafs around and like... that's cool. You do you, boo. But I'm not for those people.I'm for the people who watch videos of cats making the most of their cat jungle gyms and think, "I want a cat like THAT."I'm the kind
