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

Ooh! Ooh! Is it Foster Friday? Pick me! I volunteer as tribute! Tell the world I'm here and waiting! Tell 'em my name: Rosé. Don't forget the accent over the E! That's how you know it's pronounced Ro-ZAY. Actually, though, I guess I don't really care how they pronounce it. They can call me whatever they like. Ro-zay or Rosie or Lucretia Dolores Bartholomew XIV... Really, as long as someone is talking to me, I'm happy! Are you going to tell them what a good girl I am? OOh, tell them I'm good with kids! People like that, right? And
I don't know why they named me "Swiss Miss." I'm not from, nor have I ever been to, Switzerland. As for the "Miss" part, yeah, I'll give them that. I'm definitely unmarried. In fact, I sort of fall into the category of... well... let's just say it's going to take a special person to win my heart. To put it bluntly, I don't particularly like people at this juncture in my life. Other cats? Great. No problem. If you've got four legs, digits commonly compared to legumes, and long weird cheek hairs that help with proprioception, we're pretty much automatically
