My name is Angie and I have the same question as a lot of shelter animals: what does "home" really mean? To some people, it's a physical location. A city. A building. It's not always where you live- sometimes, it's where you came from... or where you're headed. Where your heart belongs. Where you feel safe. And for some, it's a person. You could be stranded on a distant moon and, as long as you have them, you're home. And me? I'm still searching for mine. I'm a very affectionate cat. When someone pets me, I just melt into them. I love being held
Oh, hello. My name is Boone, I'm one year old, and I am a polite, restrai... GAH I CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANY LONGERR! I just wanna cover your beautiful face in kisses! I love you so much! Please, can I sit in your lap? I never want to be apart from you ever again. Okay. Okay. Sorry. I know I can be a little... too much, too soon for some people. I may be 100% certain that you're the love of my life, but I understand if you need time to get to know me first. Here's what you need
Am I doing the Macarena? Thriller? Or inviting you to take my paws and we'll do a waltz? My name is Ballet, I'm five months old, and I'm looking for a dance partner. I used to be part of an ensemble- a whole litter of kittens. But my brothers and sisters were all adopted ages ago, so I've been solo for a while. I'm a darling girl, cute as can be, who is right in my "super-fun pre-teen" stage. Give me a toy and you'll really see me boogie! I'm a little hesitant with strangers, but once I get to
VOOOOOoooooooommmm! vvvvvvvOOOOOOOOOOM! NNYEEEEeeeeeeEEEEERRRRR! Wanna play airplane? Race car? Rocket ship? We could do zoomies 'round and 'round the yard and then lie belly-up in the grass and find shapes in the clouds while we catch our breath. You (best friend) and me (Redd), together forever. I already know I'm going to love you. I love everyone! And I think you'll love me, too. I'm told I'm the best boy ever! I love to play and explore and would probably love to have a dog sibling who would enjoy games of wrestle and chase with me. I'd be a great go-everywhere dog-
I know what you're thinking: "Wow. Has the shelter run out of real cats? This is clearly a picture of a cartoon cat. At best, it's what happens when you feed the phrase 'adorable black cat' into an AI. "Nope! I assure you- I'm completely real. My name is Pudge and not only do I actually exist, but... I'm up for adoption. You could actually have me. Living in your house. Where you could enjoy these little round cheeks every single day. I'm a soft girl in every sense of the word, from my silky fur to my squishy body
My name is Albany and I'm amazing. I'm the sweetest little thing ever. I would be happy as can be if I could just be held all the time. I'll curl up and burrow in and just purr and purr. I love to play, but I'm not a wild party-all-the-time kind of kitten. I'm usually content to quietly explore and take it all in. I love other cats (especially motherly types) and am cautious around dogs, but curious. The thing that makes me a little bit different is, I'm teeny-tiny. At six months old, I'm smaller than kittens half my age. When I
My name is Buddy and I'm a long short dog. Is that contradictory? Maybe, but I'm also an awfully good boy. I wouldn't mind being alone together if we could share some jumbo shrimp. In my unbiased opinion, I deserve the most stupidly brilliant home a dog could have. I'm about five years young- a big little guy (about 30 lb) who loves literally (figuratively) everyone. I get along with other dogs. I get along with cats. I'd be great in a small crowd or as a one-man band. I mean, good grief! You can't go wrong with a dog like me. I'm
My name is Ginger and yeah, I've heard the stereotype that chihuahua mixes bite. And I'll have you know, I don't! Instead, I judge. Sleeping in, huh? Does that mean we're skipping my morning walk? Are you really gonna eat that whole thing and not share even one morsel with the dog? Just kidding. Judge Ginger does have a nice ring and I do 100% look like I'm about to ask to speak to a manager, but I'm actually a sweetheart! At six years old, I've still got a youthful spirit- I like squeaky toys and, if I see a chance and
Karie's Shelter diary, Day 400. Dear Diary, That's right- today is my 400th day in the shelter. Should I celebrate? Cry? I don't really know. I've been in my section longer than almost anyone else here. I've seen plenty of cats come and go, but I've always been passed by. I understand- I'm a 3-year-old shy black cat. I don't stand out and, if I don't often walk up to greet people, I'm not likely to get noticed, much less chosen. But I do wish people understood what they're missing. Because I am worth getting to know. It's true that
