Pets of the Week: Meet Champ and Mack! 🐾

Champ is a handsome 7-year-old Foxhound who loves slow strolls, cozy couch time, and chatting with his favorite human. True to his hound roots, Champ loves to “talk” and would do best as the only pet in a quiet, kid-free home where he can feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐶

Jubilee is a beautiful 1-year-old mama cat with a sleek black coat and a gentle, sweet nature. After lovingly raising her kittens, she’s ready to be cherished in a calm, cozy forever home of her own. This affectionate girl would thrive with a family who enjoys quiet companionship and lots of love, where she can relax, feel safe, and truly shine as the wonderful companion she is. 😺

Open your heart, change a life. Champ and Jubilee are both available for adoption and ready to start their next chapter with someone special. 💛

Fosters Needed — Help Our Shelter Pets Get a Break! 🐾

We are in urgent need of dog fosters who have NO other animals at home and are willing to give some of our long-term shelter dogs a much-needed break from the shelter environment. Even a short stay in a calm home can make a huge difference for their stress levels and overall well-being. 💛

We are also looking for cat fosters who can take on nursing moms (mama cats with babies). 🐱🍼

If you can help, please sign up to foster here:

Thank you for being part of our village — our animals truly need you! 🐾💙

Meet our two current Dolly's Dream pups: Midnight and Sal. Dolly’s Dream is a special program that helps some of our long-term or harder-to-place dogs by covering their adoption fees and sending them home with extra supplies, all thanks to the incredible support of Dolly’s Dream.

🐾 Midnight is a 60 lb terrier mix with the gentlest heart. She’s had a tough journey, but she’s still calm, kind, and full of love. Midnight can be a little reserved at first, but once she feels comfortable, she really opens up and shows just how sweet she is. She’s hoping for a calm, loving home where she can finally feel safe and settled.

🐾 Sal is a 2-year-old, 63 lb terrier mix with an easygoing, laid-back personality. He’s friendly, mellow, and happiest just being near his people—whether that’s going for a walk or relaxing on the couch. Sal is the kind of dog who fits right in and makes life a little better just by being there.

Both Midnight and Sal are available through the Dolly’s Dream program and come with their adoption fees covered, a create, a bed, and some extra goodies to help them get started. Come meet them and see if one of these sweet pups might be the right fit for your home. 🐾❤️

Meet Sunny 🖤🐾
Sunny is an 8-year-old senior kitty with the sweetest, gentlest soul — and somehow, he keeps getting overlooked.

He’s almost completely blind and sees mostly shadows, but once he knows his space, he gets around just fine and doesn’t let it slow him down. Sunny loves calm company, soft pets, and familiar routines. He’s a quiet, loving presence who just wants a safe place to land.

Sunny qualifies for our Silver Paws VIP program. This means that if he’s adopted by someone 65 or over, his adoption fee is waived and his vet care is covered for life.

If you’ve been thinking about welcoming a senior cat into your home, Sunny would love to finally be chosen. 🤍
