This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! My name is Ivy and I'm brilliant: young, smart, friendly, and energetic! I'm 8 months old, I love to play, and I've already got a little bit of basic training. I'm still just a puppy, though! So I've got some things to learn. I need an outlet for my energy, for one thing. Long walks, interactive play, training... a bit of each! What can I say? I'm an active girl. A force of nature. Which means that I have lots of potential to be a truly phenomenal dog! But it

All you need is love, right? I mean, yes and no. My name is Tabitha and of course I'm a romantic, but I'm also realistic. All I need is love. Being held, getting head scratches, enjoying the occasional treat, just being together with you in the same room, existing side-by-side... you know. Love. But I need more than that. Faith. Grace. Patience. The shelter is a stressful place to live and I tend to come off as a little aloof and reserved. I'm a sweet girl who gets along well with other cats. I do enjoy being around people and
My name is Chop Suey and I've heard a rumor that some cats around here have been getting their miracles lately. Could it be time for mine? I know it's a lot to ask. I've been here three years now (since I was just two months old) and have seen lots and lots of cats come and go. Faces light up when their day comes. Lives change in an instant. And I've wondered if it will ever happen for me. I'm kind of a shy guy, but not the kind you can't ever touch. Once I get to know you
Picture this: You. Me. Adventure. My name is Louise and I can't wait to become your companion. Imagine the fun we'll have together! Whether it's jumping in a spaceship to explore distant galaxies or putting on a leash and going for a walk around the block, I'm pretty sure it's going to be the most wonderful and exciting thing that's ever happened to me. We could go to the dog park! Or we could go squirrel-chasing! Or go pick up the kids from school! I've lived with kids, a cat, and another dog and did well with all of them
My friend. Come here. I'm about to make you an offer you can't refuse: I plan to become a member of The Family. Your family, that is. The name's Silvio. You can call me Don Silvio. It's a sign'a respect. Now, let me lay down the facts. First and foremost, I've got connections with all kinds of creatures, capisce? Dogs, cats, kids – you name it, I can handle it. Before you kiss my hand, you can scratch my cheeks. I'm a a benevolent kinda guy. Got a sense of fraternity with my fellow man... or animal. I'm known for keeping a cool
Wanted: A Best Friend Forever. Or... actually, a team of them! I need a dog bestie for sure. Someone I can play and snuggle with. And at least one grown-up human, of course! Maybe a kid or two or three would be good. Possibly a cat? I haven't met cats yet, but it could be arranged if one wanted to join my team. We could be like The Avengers: a great team of loyal friends, stronger because we're all so different! I'm Gabby, the fun-loving optimist of the team. My superpower is wagging my tail so fast it creates a windstorm! Or,
You know what they call me here? It's Tic Tac. If you flip that around, it's one letter off Cat CIA. There's no way that's a coincidence, man! How far does the conspiracy go?! They've got me in this facility with a bunch of other cats, right? It's gotta be a setup. Are we all the subject of an elaborate social experiment? An alien plot? They provide us with unlimited food, shelter, love, and about nine gazillion cat trees. Then, they feed us catnip, which we all know is the opiate of the masses. What do they want from us? What
My name is Bandit, but I'm a law-abiding dog. The only thing I'll steal is your heart! I'm a total ham... and seriously cheesy. Just a big ol' ham-and-cheese sandwich of love. I'm a great "young people" dog: about a year old, strong, 58 lb of happiness, friendliness, and energy. I'm housebroken. I'm adorable. I'm just PERFECT for someone! I haven't had any official dog or cat playdates since coming to the shelter, but I'm not reactive or upset when I see other dogs, so I'd love the chance to meet any potential dog siblings and see if we're a
This week we got to see our sweet Kailani off to a new home after nearly 12 years in the shelter! Would it be too much to ask for another miracle? Delta needs some of that magic! More than one person was interested in giving Kailani a shot and some of you said things like "I would have taken her years ago." So now's your chance! Kailaini's adoption fee was sponsored and her adopters chose to pay it forward to help get other shy cats out of the shelter and keep them from having to be "lifers." So let's make it happen for
