Have you ever had your life turn completely upside-down in an instant? Every familiar thing and person you've known for the past ten years, gone. And maybe, like, me, you have no way of understanding why or knowing what will happen next. It's not that it's bad here. As soon as I got here, someone was holding me close and telling me, "it's going to be okay, Bruce." And, even though we'd just met, I buried my head in her chest and held on tight. That's all I really want to do: cuddle up against someone and be safe and loved.
Hi friend! Hi there! I heard you were looking for the sweetest, wiggliest, happiest, friendliest baby boy in town! Well, my name is Dingo and I might just fit the bill! I'm the kind of little fella who is just overflowing with love and enthusiasm. Every person who walks by is another potential best friend! If you want a dog you can take to a festival or parade, I'm your guy. I'm about 25 lb and I've got adult teeth, but definite puppy vibes. I came to the shelter as a stray, so I don't know when my birthday really is.
Cats aren't great with computers, but I hear there's been a change in my record in the shelter computer system lately. Normally, it just says "Barry" and then it says that I'm a neutered male, about 4 years old, up to date on shots, good with other cats, and so forth. Now, it says "Barry " because I've been here and waiting for a home for six months. 201 days, to be exact. That officially classifies me as a "long-stay" cat. Why? Search me! I'm a great cat. I'm affectionate and fun, I like to play with toys, and I'm
Calling all 24-hour Pawty people! We're building our team for the 2025 Shelter Slumber Pawty! What is it? We're looking for a team of about 15 people to spend one night in the shelter. You can choose a dog or cat to spend the night with or, if you prefer, we can choose for you! There will be games, crafts, food, and lots of animals who would be thrilled to have some company. Each participant will be asked to set up an online fundraiser with a goal of $1,000 to "bail you out". Don't worry- we'll help you get there

If you need someone to make you happy when the skies are gray, don't you worry- I'll be your Sunshine! That's my name, after all. And it's a pretty good descriptor. Warm and bright and capable of making you happier just by being nearby: that's me! I'm a quiet soul who will happily soak up all the attention you've got to give me. I love having my ears scratched and my soft little forehead rubbed. Once we've spent some time getting acquainted, I also love being picked up and held, and will purr my little heart out when you rock me
Does your welcome mat say, "Go Away"? Is your ideal weekend one where you don't have to see or speak to anyone? Is your vocabulary mostly made up of sarcasm and swear words? Then you're my kind of person! I'm Casey. I fiercely love my own close friends and family. People who know me will tell you I'm super smart, hilarious, loyal, and a joy to be around. I know a few tricks and learn new ones quickly and willingly. One of my best shelter friends likes to teach me about cool things like jumping through hoops and running through tunnels
I'm Lucy and people tell me all the time that I'm a "typical pittie!" Isn't that great? I'm not sure what it actually means, but the humans always seem happy when they say it. They say it with a laugh when I meet someone and wag my entire body so hard that, one of these days, I may lift off like a helicopter and take flight! I can't help it- I'm just so happy to see everyone! They say it with a proud smile when I'm in the midst of a group of excited little kids and I'm totally in my element,
I'm Monica and I've noticed something. Some of the coolest people I know were the last ones picked for every sports team in grade school. Picked last might feel like a rejection in the moment, but it doesn't mean you're not awesome! Maybe it just means that, instead of playing dodgeball for a living, you're destined to, just to, for example... write cat bios. Anyway, here's the thing: I currently live in a little condo with 4 other cats. And- get this- all four of them have been chosen and are going home this weekend, but I'm not. Not yet,
