Do you ever wish you could look into a crystal ball and see what life would hold for you? My name is Crystal and... here's what I think I would see. You and me, together. Going to the park. Sleeping on the couch. A happy life for both of us. Me, free from fear and loneliness at last. You, blessed with the love of a devoted companion. I am kind of scared in the shelter. I'm hesitant when I meet someone new, but it doesn't take long to win me over with some treats and some love. Pretty soon, I'll be
The thing about dogs and humans is that sometimes, a dog and a human seem to share just one heart. My name is Soma and I'm looking for the human who will complete me. I'm the kind of dog who will come up and lay my head on your lap and make everything just a little bit better. The kind who will lean my whole body into yours just to be close to you. When I see a possible new friend (i.e. anyone at all), my adorable stubby little tail wags so hard that my whole butt wiggles. I came
Well! Hello there! I've seen a lot of people around these parts, but... none of them quite like you. You're incredible. My name is Matais, by the way. I'm about two years old and I need a new home. Thing is, I've been looking for someone special. That's why you caught my eye. Because I can't go to just ANY home. See, I have a condition called Feline Leukemia (FeLV). It's not as scary as it sounds- I'm a healthy boy who doesn't need any extra care or medication and I could stay that way my whole life. My FeLV is
Sometimes, I say to myself, "Angie, you just wait- you're going to have a great life!" And I still believe it. I mean, it hasn't quite been a meteoric rise so much as a gradual climb- things are a lot better than they used to be, for sure. But I still have big dreams! I just celebrated my third birthday on Wednesday. I spent it warm and safe, healthy and loved, and surrounded by friends... but not in a home. That's where I'm headed- I just know it! Will I get to live with other cats or dogs? I've been around both before,

Most of the time, "gray" is the opposite of "sunshiny," right? Well, not with me! My name is Asher and I light up a room! I'm about two years old, but it's just a guess because I was brought in as a stray. I came with another dog (I get along well with other dogs!) and his owner came for him, but they didn't know me! I guess maybe I made a friend while I was on the road. I can make friends anywhere, you know. I'm just a tiny bit unsure of new people right at first, but a
Sometimes, life doesn't go quite the way you planned. My name is Grace and, at ten years old, I'm starting over! It's not gonna be easy, but I'm ready for the challenge. I've already made lots of friends at the shelter: humans (my favorite), other cats, and even dogs! I'm very affectionate, very personable, and LOVE attention. Scratch my cheeks and I'll leeeeean in and close my eyes. And if you chat with me, I'll meow back- I'm a bubbly girl, always ready for a conversation. In spite of my brilliant colors (my whole back is a vibrant copper- much

My name is Riggs, and yeah- I'm little. Little like a meteorite. Little like a split atom. Little like the seed of a massive redwood tree. I'm only about 20 lb. But I am NOT a "grandma just needs some company" dog or an "I want a little dog because I need something really easy to take care of" dog. I'm a big dog in a little body. I've got energy, brains, and plenty of 'tude! I'm funny, happy, and super friendly, with a tail that wags nonstop! I came in as a stray, so there are some things that
With some cats, what you see is what you get. And with others, you have to dig a little deeper to find the buried treasure. My name is Biscotti and I'm the latter type. I'm that X in the sand that doesn't look like much, but tells you that, with a little time and effort, you'll find jewels. I'm about four years old and have lived three of those years in the shelter. I'm a shy girl- you can see it in my saucer eyes. If I don't know you, I'm probably going to keep my distance. In fact, the
