Oh! There you are! I've been waiting for you to come and meet me. You know those videos of people getting new dogs for Christmas? My story is kind of the opposite of that. Instead of bursting out of a box to the delight of a smiling kid on Christmas, I was tied to a fence and abandoned. In a way, it was a different kind of gift: I got lots of new friends all at once, I got a new name (it's Jonas), and it got me to a place where I might get to meet YOU! That's the best
Man, you could not PAY me enough to be a human! You might think I'm a person, on account of most cats don't have surnames, and I do. I'm Heidi Klum! And, trust me... I am a cat. Napping, purring, showing my love with head-bonks... all very feline things to do. Humans, man... you've got a whole lot of things stressing you out every day. Jobs, relationships, politics, laundry... that sounds tough. I'm not about that life. Closest I'm willing to come to employment is 1. Making biscuits. 2. Providing therapy. When human lives get complicated, they come to see me,
Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! No, I'm not a kangaroo wannabe... I'm Wallaby! If you've ever wanted your very own freckled, red-haired youngster, I'm happy to be of service. I'm eight months old and exactly as impish as you'd guess. I LOVE people. You know how some people have a "Beware of dog" sign on their fence? My sign should say "Please pet the dog because he only wants to be your best friend." I'm full of life and energy! I'm all about making new friends- human or canine! If your dog needs a playmate, I'm your man. Er... your puppy. It

I'm just a dog/cat/kid friendly girl, standing in front of a human, asking them to love her. Okay, okay... enough with the sappy stuff. I'm Lilo and... you're not gonna believe this, but I'm even more adorable in person. It's worth coming out to meet me just so you can see my chunky li'l legs! They're guaranteed to make the pitch of your voice go up about four octaves. Your "Oh my gosh, she's SO CUUUUUTTTTEEEE" will rival Mariah Carey's whistle tones.Anyway... I'm more than just my cuteness, you know. Although, to be fair... just look at these cheeeeeeeeks! Ahem.
Have you ever had your life turn completely upside-down in an instant? Every familiar thing and person you've known for the past ten years, gone. And maybe, like, me, you have no way of understanding why or knowing what will happen next. It's not that it's bad here. As soon as I got here, someone was holding me close and telling me, "it's going to be okay, Bruce." And, even though we'd just met, I buried my head in her chest and held on tight. That's all I really want to do: cuddle up against someone and be safe and loved.
Calling all 24-hour Pawty people! We're building our team for the 2025 Shelter Slumber Pawty! What is it? We're looking for a team of about 15 people to spend one night in the shelter. You can choose a dog or cat to spend the night with or, if you prefer, we can choose for you! There will be games, crafts, food, and lots of animals who would be thrilled to have some company. Each participant will be asked to set up an online fundraiser with a goal of $1,000 to "bail you out". Don't worry- we'll help you get there
Hi friend! Hi there! I heard you were looking for the sweetest, wiggliest, happiest, friendliest baby boy in town! Well, my name is Dingo and I might just fit the bill! I'm the kind of little fella who is just overflowing with love and enthusiasm. Every person who walks by is another potential best friend! If you want a dog you can take to a festival or parade, I'm your guy. I'm about 25 lb and I've got adult teeth, but definite puppy vibes. I came to the shelter as a stray, so I don't know when my birthday really is.
