Well, I suppose every litter has to have its last one standing, right? I just didn't think it would be me! My name is Groopert and I've waited very patiently, but I'm just a baby. ANY patience from a four-month-old puppy is impressive, right?! It's my turn to find a family to love me, so I'm taking matters into my own paws. First step, I think, is to spread the word about how darling I am. See this little pink nose? These big strawberry blonde ears? These subtle little nose freckles? Ridiculous. Adorable. I can't. And I'm more than just
"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" Well, this one practically can! My name is Turkey and I may not actually be able to flap my ears and soar through the air, but I can bounce, BoUnCe, BOUNCE pretty dang high! I'm as cute as can be, about three years old and thirty pounds. I'm outgoing and funny and athletic, quick to make friends and always up for some playtime! I'm good with other dogs and haven't met cats. I've never met a person I didn't like! I came in as a stray, so I don't know a
You guys, we need to talk about Sheila. This girl is just two weeks away from the one-year-in-the shelter mark. That will be half her life spent as a shelter dog. And she is a hidden GEM. Like, I work here and it's my job to know how great every animal is and even I had no idea until I met her in the right setting. But, oh my goodness is she a lot of fun! Sheila is a dog who just needs to get the heck out of here and isn't going to really shine until she does. She's like a gorgeous
My name is Marsh, I'm six months old, and I've heard I'm a "special boy" and I've often wondered what it is about me that makes people say that. Is it that I'm the softest little dreamsicle cloud you've ever had the pleasure of touching? Or that I'm totally fearless, super-outgoing, incredibly charming, and love to play? I mean, I live with a gigantic dog in my foster home and think he's the best thing since Neil Diamond. I'm great with other cats and kids. I'm an expert at turning strangers into friends. I charmed the vet clinic staff so

Parkour! Parkour! Hardcore parkour!My name is Mitty! You can't see my white mitts because I'm using them to cling onto this here cat tree, but trust me: they're there and they're marvelous. I'm seven months old, male, and looking for a home!So, I know there are plenty of people out there who want a cat who mostly just loafs around and like... that's cool. You do you, boo. But I'm not for those people.I'm for the people who watch videos of cats making the most of their cat jungle gyms and think, "I want a cat like THAT."I'm the kind
Sunny days, chasing the gray away. On my way to where the air is sweet... can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street? Okay, okay, I don't ACTUALLY come from Sesame Street. But don't I look like I would fit right in there? My name is Chase and, like so many of my fellow muppets, I'm just here to have fun! I'm about 11 months old and a leggy 45ish lb. I don't know what breed mix I am. If you adopt me, though, I'll come with a coupon for an Embark test, so we
This one goes out to my buddy, Mr. Santa Nicholas Claus. Hey there Nick. It's me, Alex the Kitten. I hear you're in the business of making wishes come true and I was just wondering if you might be willing to take mine into consideration. See, I'm only six months old, so this is the first time I've actually done this whole "Christmas" thing. I'm not all that familiar with the process. From what I understand, you're supposed to spend Christmas at home and/or with your family. But that's a problem for me... because I haven't actually got a home.
You know the story of The Sword in the Stone? How only the rightful king could pull it free? Or maybe you're familiar with Thor's hammer, which can only be lifted by those noble enough to be worthy of its power? I'm Dharma and to be my friend is to be considered The Chosen One. It's like being invited to ride on the back of a unicorn. It's like bending Odysseus' bow. It's like winning the lottery and a gold medal all in the same day. Okay, okay... it's not THAT rare. But it's plenty precious and special! Here's the
