Pac Man – Ready for Adoption!

My name is Pac Man and whatever your problems may be, I think I have the solution:  Get yourself a marmalade cat.  That's right. An orange boy with big yellowish-green eyes. Maybe something around 7 years old would be perfect. Declawed in the front, if you like. I don't wish to encourage the practice, but I, myself, do happen to be declawed.  You know what else you should look for? Something a little on the shy side. Maybe someone who is pretty reserved in the shelter environment and doesn't get a lot of attention. You know, I've heard that a

Daphne – Ready for Adoption!

My name is Daphne, and yes- I know I'm tall. The weather up here is just fine, thanks! No, I'm not a supermodel. In fact, I'm kinda camera shy. I am a skinny, willowy girl, working on putting on some healthy weight.  And I don't play basketball, but to be honest, that's just because I haven't ever really had the chance to try. I do love to play, especially with other dogs!  My dreams are the same as any shelter dog: to find a home of my own. I'm two years old, gentle, sweet, and friendly with everyone, so I'm going to make

Daniella – Ready for Adoption!

You may be looking at this grumpy little mug of mine and thinking, "Daniella looks like she's had just about enough of your sh... shenanigans" or, "Why is Daniella looking at me like that? Did I forget to wear pants today?" or maybe, "Aww, what can I do to make that grumpy little cat feel better?" The truth is... I'm actually a sweet, happy girl! This is just the way my face looks. I would never judge your fashion choices. I have plenty of tolerance for shenanigans. I love having my cheeks rubbed and will lean in and give headbutts

Gwen – Ready for Adoption!

Human! Oh, thank goodness you're here. I need your help. I'm in a bit of a pickle.  I'm Gwen, by the way. If I'm gonna ask you to save my life, I guess we'd better get to know each other.  See, I'm stuck in this... kennel. And they tell me the only way I'm getting out of here is if someone chooses me. And oh, human- I hate it here. The other dogs barking around me, having to sleep all alone, not having a family... it's rough. Living in a kennel is not for me. I mean, I'm only 8 months old.

Sesame – Ready for Adoption!

Sesame's Simple Rules for Being Awesome: 1. Rock your goth vibe. Dressing all in black is elegant and beautiful! 2. Strike up a conversation. Meow 'til someone meows back at you. It's true that the humans have terrible grammar, but that's okay. At least they try. 3. Enjoy life! Never pass up an opportunity to play with toys, eat the treats, or demand affection. 4. Everyone is your friend, but some people are your BEST friends. Greet everyone warmly and be ready to have fun with them, but save the serious lap-sitting and snuggles for those special people you really

Hodge – Ready for Adoption!

My name? I'm pretty sure it's, "Good Boy, Hodge!" ... at least, that's what people usually call me! Sometimes, I get nicknames like "Aw Hodge You're So Sweet" or "What A Handsome Gentleman You Are, Hodge".  Sometimes, when I meet new people, they call me "It's Okay, Hodge." I'm a little shy around strangers at first, but I warm up quickly and want to be friends. Sometimes, it's "Let's Go Outside, Hodge!" My previous owner reports that I'm housebroken, so although any dog may have an adjustment period, I've got a good foundation.  It might even be "You're My Best

Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside you You don't need no makeup, don't have to pretend Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you Sweet understanding, Seymour's your friend It's true, isn't it? With me by your side, I think things will probably always turn out okay. I might be kind of scared right now.

Book-It – Ready for Adoption!

Whaaaaaaat? You're looking for a puppy? What a coincidence! I just happen to be looking for a human of my own! My shelter name is Book-it... but let's be honest. You're probably gonna change that. The good news is, I'm only four months old, so it's a great time to learn a new name! Hey, did I hear you were looking for a dog who is good with other dogs and cats? Who is making good progress on housebreaking and likes to sleep in bed with the humans? That's awesome because I just so happen to fit the bill. And I'd
