Featured Cat - SINBAD!
Hi! My name is Sinbad. I was rescued from a hoarding situation, but that did not alter my friendly, sweet, and laid-back personality. I am a little shy, so anyone who adopts me will need to be patient as I adjust to my new surroundings. Unlike the sailor I was named after, I do not seek adventure nor do I have any desire to roam the Seven Seas. I just want a place to call my forever home and humans to call my forever people. The only exploring I want to do is to find the most

Featured Dog - EMILIA!
Our girl Emilia is under 50lbs with a playful spirit and the sweetest face. She is active in the best way (not too much, just the perfect amount of fun-loving). At one point, Emilia thrived in day care with other dogs her size; however, she has since become selective about her canine companions. Is it the shelter environment, or has she refined her tastes? We cannot say. Potential adopters who have another dog about her size should plan on a meet-and-greet (or two). Also, due

Featured Cat - JIT!
This pretty little girl was found hanging out on the deck of a kind family. The kids enjoyed her visits and even named her, Jit, which is slang for "kid", (who knew? Jits these days)! They realized how friendly she was but weren't able to keep her themselves so called on us to help find her a forever home. Jit is not only striking with her beautiful black coat, but sweet and friendly. She loves affection and always looks forward to the love and attention from the volunteers.

Featured Dog - ZOEY!
In general, German Shepherds possess traits that include being protective, loyal, and smart. Our Zoey embodies all those traits and more. Obviously gorgeous, she is also extremely intelligent and ready to serve as a loyal companion. Specifically, Zoey is kennel trained and is happiest with her squeaky toys. The squeakier the better. She’ll entertain you for hours! Zoey is also loud. If you’ve ever loved a GS, you may be familiar with their breed vocalizations. In fact, Zoey i

Featured Cats - YAWNEY & RAILEE!
Railee (grey female DOB 3/15/2016) and Yawney (gr/wht male DOB 10/11/2016) are the best of buddies. When their dad's health started to fail, he had to move and couldn't take two cats where he was going. They are so bonded, he couldn't bare to separate them. He then called on us to help him find this adorable couple a new home, together, forever! Railee was "rail" thin when she was rescued from a hoarding situation. She's now a healthy beautiful girl. She's playful, loves mass
