Kids these days have no respect! Get off my lawn! That nose piercing makes you look like a cow! See... even though I'm only eight months old, I grew up in the senior area with the old fogey cats! My name is Chickpea and I'm ready to make the move to a home of my own. I'm super-outgoing, good with other cats, affectionate, and I love to play! I get along with chill dogs, and I'm cheek-pinchingly adorable. I've been in the shelter since I was just a teeny-tiny kitten and I'm still waiting for a home! Why? I'm basically everything anyone could
What's black and white and fuzzy all over? Me! My name is Twilight and I'm the kind of puppy you probably shouldn't get if you don't like attention. First of all, there's no way you'll be able to walk me in public without people coming up to admire me! I'm WAY too cute for that! Second of all... I mean, I already love you. I think you're the most wonderful person I've ever met in all my six months of life. People are gonna want to know what kind of dog I am, of course. And I don't know for sure.
Um, hello... sorry, I'm a little nervous. This is important, you know? Hellomynameis Lady Deathstrike. I'm a little scared, but I want to be your friend. I've been in the shelter for six months now and just earned my "long-term resident" badge. I don't think any animal should be without a home for that long, but... I'm the kind of girl who takes my time getting adjusted. I love squeeze-up treats and I love toys. Right now, I'm unsure about petting. If you sit with me and we get to know each other a little bit, I'm up for it.
My name is Evie and I want to get one thing straight right off the bat: I'm not your great-granny's froufrou dog. Not that there's anything wrong with the froufrou scene. It's just that it's not exactly my jam. I'm a little more "manic pixie dream girl"- buzzing with energy and enthusiasm! I'm 22 lb, so I'm big enough that you don't really need to carry me around. And spending my day snoozing in a lap? Sounds boring. I'd much rather PLAY! I'm only about two years old, which is part of why I'm such a silly goose! I'm the
OH, a human! Okay, come here. Sit down and make yourself comfortable. PSYCH! Gotcha! I wasn't really that worried about your comfort. I just wanted a lap to sit in. Don't mind if I do! Yep- gotcha right where I want you. With a big fat fluffy cat like me in your lap, you're not going anywhere any time soon, so I might as well introduce myself! My name is Pico and I'm about five years old. I came to the shelter after my person had to move and I wasn't able to go along. You can see with your own eyeballs that

Hi! Hi! Oh... hi! I'm Etta! I wanna be your- What's that?! Oh. It was a leaf. What was I saying? Oh, never mind! Do you want to play? Cuddle? Go for a walk? Eat snacks? Do all of those at once? Let's do it! Hey, what brings you to the shelter, anyway? I'm here because I got abandoned and then the police started chasing me! Running from the cops was probably not the best choice, but I was scared and didn't realize they were trying to help me. They called Open Door for backup. I could tell they were dog people,

Have you been debating with yourself about what dog to adopt? Come see me and the answer will be CRYSTAL clear! See what I did there? 'Cause my name is Crystal, right? Anyway. Like I said- once you meet me, it's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to fall in love. I'm very friendly (especially with people I know well), I'm great on leash, and I'm an all-around good girl. I've spent my formative months (I'm only a year old) having and raising my nine puppies, so I'm still sort of searching for my identity outside of motherhood. I haven't
