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

My name is Panda and this is a matter of urgency. My life depends on it. It depends on you. I'm five years old, outgoing, affectionate, and very personable. And I need a foster home, adoptive home, or foster-to-adopt home. The thing is, I'm deteriorating fast in the shelter. I need a home where I can be the only pet. Being around other animals is very distressing for me. There are 58 cats in my section. This is an animal shelter, so every available space is filled up with other animals. That means I have to stay in my cage all the time.
If there's one thing I need you to know about me, it's this: I'm not hopeless. My name is Noodle. I'm just a year old. When I came to the shelter, I was mangy, swollen, and scared. Now, I'm healthy... but still scared. This can be my "before" photo. In a year or so, when I've been with you a while, you can compare it to other photos: me, sprawled on the sofa. Me, begging for chin scratches. Me, soaking up the sunshine. Me, with sparkle in my eyes at last.Can you blame me for being scared? Living in a
My name is Thea and let's be real: I can get creative in telling you all about myself, but you mostly want the basic stats: Age: 5 years Weight: 40ish lb (but I could stand to lose a couple!) Good with Dogs: Good with Cats: Good with Kids: Housebroken: 90%. I will sometimes have an accident if left home alone for the day, but am good if my people are around. Personality: Super friendly, cuddly, a liiiiiiittle (okay, a lot) on the clingy side. Plenty of energy- I love to play! Breed: Kinda Australian cattle doggy, kinda Australian shepherdy, kinda
