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
My name is Toby and I've got an exciting opportunity for you, human! For a limited time only, YOU- could have ME as a part of your family! That's right. I'm a certified Very Good Boy and I could be YOUR Very Good Boy. Got other pets? No problem! I used to live with cats and did well and have met and gotten along with other dogs. Just bring your current pups up to meet me and we'll see if we're a good match! No gimmicks! No tricks! Well... some tricks. I do know how to sit and lie down. Also,
Hi human! Do you wanna play with me? My name is Starlight and I'm looking for a new best friend. By "best friend," I mean... the whole enchilada. I want a playmate, a snuggle buddy, a walking partner, and someone who will really understand me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to play fetch and, when I want to rest, I'll climb into your lap with my toy and cuddle. Technically, I wouldn't say I'm exactly a "lap dog." I'm about 45 lb and I've got lots of energy, especially when you first meet me! I'm the kind of dog who is
Anyone up for some shenanigans? Tomfoolery? A little bit of monkeying around? My name is Kemp and I'm looking for a partner in hijinks.I'm eleven months old, which I've been told is the most ridiculous age for a puppy. I'm super friendly and very cute and I LOVE to play! Toys are my favorite. I'm a sweet boy with a nice temperament. I've lived and done well with a toddler (although I did like to chew on binkies. But remember, I'm just a kid myself!) and, according to my previous owner, have done well with other dogs. I lived with
