If you've spent any time in animal rescue, you know how bad it has to be for the police to intervene. And in Bones' case... they had little choice. Bones was one of about a dozen animals in one home living a life of squalor, neglect, and abuse until they arrived at the shelter. He was found locked in a crate that was piled high with excrement, scared, missing hair, and severely underweight. Little did he know what lay ahead! It's taken a little while, but Bones is finally ready to find a new home! He's healthy, shiny, muscular, and SO sweet
My name is Turtle and I have a superpower: I can bring joy to people's lives. I may only have three legs but I'm a benevolent force for good. I'm super-soft, super-sweet, super-pretty and my physical differences make me super-special. I came to the Sanctuary with one front leg badly injured and it had to be amputated. I'm adjusting really well to my new body and I can jump and climb just as well as any other cat. I can even still make air biscuits, even though it looks a little different now. I'm not looking to save the whole

I've heard lots of promises from humans in my life. Like, "Don't worry, Venus- you'll grow into those ears!" or "You'll catch that squirrel one of these days." Not all of those promises have come to fruition, but that's okay- there's only one promise I really care about. It's the one I'm still waiting for: "I promise I'll never give up on you." I can make you a few promises of my own, you know. I can promise to be happy to see you, even if I've never met you before. And I promise to be an enthusiastic playmate- always ready

Okay, yes- finding a home for two dogs is harder than just one. But maybe it would help if you didn't think of Hannah and Peanut as two dogs. I mean, they're what- twenty pounds combined? Don't think of them as Hannah and also Peanut. It's just HannahandPeanut. Or maybe you could think of them as one small dog and one furry animate potato who loves belly rubs. Peanut is undeniably dog-shaped, but little Hannah? At least half of a spud. If you can only handle one dog's worth of activity, you're in luck! These two are both 12 years young.
Hi guys, I'm Richard Robert... but you can call me Ricky Bobby! Because I've got a little bobtail, of course. I may be a little under-endowed in the tail department, but I'm quite gifted elsewhere! I've got a sweet, peaceful heart, for one thing. I get along well with other cats and dogs and have an easy purr and a gentle demeanor. I've even lived with babies and little kids and have liked them, too! I've got soft, thick, cottony fur- perfect for petting. And oh man, do I love to be petted and held. I've got a curious mind, perfect for

You're looking for a dog, eh? But not just ANY dog- you want a SUPERSTAR! My name is Bentley and I think I might just fit the bill. You want the kind of dog who will get you stopped in public-people begging to know what kind of dog I am, where you got me, and if they can pet me (the answer to that one is YES!) and even if they can buy me from you (the answer on that one is NO) I mean, I'll be your best friend.
