When you see a piece of art in a museum, everyone knows the rule is "look, don't touch," right? A thing of beauty like Klimt's The Kiss or Monet's Water Lilies doesn't need to be groped to be appreciated, right? If you want to touch it, well... you should take it home, right? Unfortunately, if you don't have disgusting amounts of money, buying those masterpieces is probably not an option for you. But this masterpiece? This one right here? This thing of beauty in front of you? Seventy-five bucks and I'm yours. My name is Cersei and I belong in your
My name is Zoey and I'm a diamond in the rough. I'm just overflowing with potential! I'm a super sweet dog whose all-time favorite activity is turning strangers into friends. I'm energetic and smart and, at one year old, still basically a puppy. My mama was a boxer and my daddy was a mysterious stranger in the night. And me? I'm just a good girl. I'll admit, though... I'm not very highly educated. I've got plenty of smarts, but need some help learning to apply and focus my energy. I'm a dog who needs exercise and something to keep my mind busy so
Close your eyes. Actually, no- keep them open. You can't read this with your eyes closed. Just... ~pretend~ you've got your eyes closed. Picture a family dog. Are you picturing it? What does it look like? It's a black lab (mix), right? Waggy tail? Maybe a mouth stuffed full of toys? A happy tongue that sometimes flops to the side? Yep, that sounds about right. A dog who just happens to look exactly like me! My name is Onyx and I'm looking for a young family to join. I'm a young guy myself at 2 years old. A HUGE toy fanatic.
What you want: A loving, joyful, smart dog with marvelous ears. A dog who loves to play with toys, gives kisses, and is super gentle and affectionate. A dog who is young, but grown: about two years old. A dog who has met and done well with other dogs, cats, and children. A walking buddy, a best friend, and a dog you can teach things to. The kind of dog people notice when you're in public and stop you to tell you how gorgeous your dog is. A dog like me: Rico! What I want: A loving, patient home. Sometimes,
My name is Maurice and I've grown like a dandelion. Grown and blossomed even when all I had to hang onto was a crack in the concrete. Even when my environment was unforgiving, I grew soft and sweet. A beautiful, delightful thing. A granter of wishes. They say "grow through what you go through" and I'm growing all the time. Emotionally, I mean- at four years old, I'm physically fully grown. Since coming to the shelter, I've learned to love people and attention. I love to play, love to have my wonderful cheeks scratched, and will do anything for a
So here's the plan: You. Me. Running away together and making a beautiful life. We can carve "Gage + Human" in hearts on trees. We can go on walks and rides together, have wonderful adventures, and spend our downtime cuddling.... What's that? You're not so keen on the 'running away' part? You've got a home, family, job, and so on. Well, maybe I can... join you? I could be a part of that family! Come and meet me and you'll see: I'm SUCH a good boy! I'll show you! I'll roll over at your feet for a belly rub and wag
Beans, Beans, are good for your heart. The more you eat, the more... uh. I forget the rest. No matter, the point is that if you want your life to be better, the answer is BEANS! That's me! My favorite pastimes include following people around, perching on my cat tree and supervising all the activities around me, and soaking up the love. I'm a big, handsome, friendly-with-everyone kind of guy. I love attention, I get along with other cats, and I'm super suave.My caretakers think the only reason I haven't been adopted yet is that I'm a big fella and
Gummo's Recipe for an Instant Best Friend This one is perfect for anyone who doesn't have the time for the low-and-slow method of making a best friend. If you want instant love, try this! First, take one cat. Choosing a cat can seem tricky, but your best bet is go for one that's about two years old, heavy for her size, and has extra-dark stripes, big yellow eyes, and a white underside. Those are the sweetest. Add a generous amount of friendliness, an adventurous spirit, and just a liiiiiittle dash of sass. And voila! The sweetest little pal you could possibly ask
Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and gray...My name is Vincent and I'm the kind of guy who feels all the beauty in the world so deeply that it hurts. You wouldn't know it by looking at me! I'm a very friendly and outgoing fellow. I've never met a human I didn't like. I'm the kind of guy who will climb in your lap five minutes after meeting you. I'm okay with all sorts of handling and I love playing with crinkle balls. Right now, I've been in the shelter longer than any of the other cats in my area (218
All that glitters is not gold, but... I am! My name is Abigail and I'm a precious gem of a dog. The very sweetest, or so I'm told. I'm a soft-hearted girl. Full of love, but also sensitive. The shelter is a scary place to live, so I like to take my time assessing new people and situations before I decide that they're safe. With a little encouragement and time, I can handle anything- I just need someone to hold my paw and let me know it's going to be alright. I'm about two years old and came to the shelter as
