Isn't it amazing how siblings, born and raised in the same home, with the same genes, can be so different from each other? My name is Merrick and, out of a family of spotlight-seekers, I'm the wallflower. I'm the kind of guy who would rather write a poem or study birds than stand up and do karaoke in front of everyone. That means, of course, that most of my family members strolled right up to potential adopters, charmed them immediately, and got adopted right away. And me? Well, I may take some time to find my home, and I suppose that's okay.
Here's the process for meeting me (JoAnn): First, maybe you peek into my condo from the hallway and think, "Aww! Look at that one with the squishy little face!" Or maybe I'm hanging out somewhere tucked away and you don't even see me. Probably, you think, "She looks kind of scared. She might not want to be friends."But... try anyway. I promise, it's worth it.You come in and reach for me and the first thing I'll do is back up away from you. I came here to the shelter after my person moved and left me behind. It's an overwhelming
You looking for a junior scamp? A little rascal? A baby rapscallion? Well, look no further! My name is Yuki, but you can call me whatever you like. I mean, I'm all of eighteen weeks old. Nothing about my life or identity is set in stone. I don't even have a family! I'm a silly goose of the highest degree. A certified imp. Monkeyshines are my full-time job. In other words... I'm a puppy! What breed am I? A mix of a mystery mom and a mystery dad. How big will I get? I dunno! Bigger than I am now! I
My name- P.G.- probably stands for something basic, like "Pretty Girl," but I think every cat should be able to define themselves the way they see fit! Like maybe, for me, P.G. stands for "Peregrine" like a peregrine falcon, the fastest bird in the world! I'm a young cat, only about a year old, and I'm pretty speedy when I want to be. Or like Peregrin Took, the young hobbit who, while he can sometimes be impulsive, is brave and good-hearted and really just wants to have fun. I can relate to all of that! Maybe P.G. stands for "Peace
ATTENTION! EVERYONE! EYES OVER HERE! No, I don't have an announcement. Why would you think that? I just REALLY want your attention! My name is Kel and I need you to bust me out of here A-S-A-P. Why? What's the rush? Well, I really want to spend every waking minute of the rest of my life with you and I'm wasting precious time standing here waiting. Haven't you noticed me, right at the front of my pen, reaching my paws out and yelling for someone to pay attention to me? Frankly, I'm hard to miss. I want to do EVERYTHING
Some dogs look like they were born to be companions to kings and queens. Me? Absolutely not. If you look up "street urchin" in the dictionary, my picture is there. I'm 12 years old, like seven pounds soaking wet, and I look like someone took a perfectly respectable chihuahua and scotch-taped fur to it in random places. My name is Homer, which is fitting, because if you were to rock up to an ancient literature class and I were at the front, you would know two things for sure: 1. I probably wear loafers because I don't see the value

You know, Rhapsody is really a fitting name for me- a piece of music that flows and changes and really moves you. Something that throws the strict rules out the window when they don't really matter and, in doing so, makes magic. I'm an awesome dog. I'm super cuddly- a leaner, a snuggler, an aspiring lap dog, and a polite kisser. It's my goal to be as close to you as physically possible... but, like... casually. Looking for more than a cuddlebug? Well, I can transition seamlessly from lap dog to zoomie master! If you tell me you wanna play, I'm absolutely

Some brothers are born, some are made! Bogey (8) and Junior (7) aren’t related by blood, but they’re total best buddies who do everything together.These big, gray-and-white boys are super soft, ridiculously loving, and basically twins. They play with toys and each other all day, give the best headbutts and kisses, purr on command, and love jumping in your lap.They’re mellow, well-mannered, and affectionate once they warm up (they’re still adjusting to the shelter). They’d prefer to be your only cats, but can meet dogs with a slow intro.Why adopt just one sweet cat when you can take home the
