💔 Nearly 200 days of waiting… 💔
Ellie and Sky came to us after their owner passed away, and they’re still waiting for a place to call home.
✨ Ellie is a shy black-and-white Manx who just needs a quiet, patient home to feel safe again.
✨ Sky is her sister — a big love bug who adores attention and has truly come out of her shell.
A generous guardian angel has fully covered their adoption fees — now all they need is a warm, loving home to spend their golden years.
While they arrived together, we do not believe they’re bonded and feel they could do well separately. These senior girls deserve comfort, love, and a soft place to land.
Please help us find Ellie and Sky their happy endings. 🐾❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Winn 💛
Winn is a 1-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever with the kind of easygoing charm that makes friends wherever he goes. This handsome guy is part of a home-to-home adoption, meaning he isn’t currently at our facility, but meeting him is absolutely possible with a little coordination.
Winn gets along wonderfully with people and other dogs, is house trained, and has great recall. He’s an outdoorsy soul who loves hiking and exploring, and he’s already shown impressive promise as a horn hunter. Smart, eager, and naturally driven, Winn is the kind of lab who wants to be both your adventure partner and your loyal shadow.
If you’re interested in learning more about Winn or setting up a meet-and-greet, please contact us and we’ll happily connect you. This golden boy is ready to find his next chapter 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less

All eyes on us 👀✨
Some of our adoptable cats are pausing their naps to show off those absolutely stunning peepers. From soulful stares to curious glances, these eyes have seen treats, toys, and the promise of a forever home.
Fun cat eye fact:
Cats can have blue, green, yellow, amber, copper, and even odd-colored eyes where each eye is a different shade. Some cats’ eyes can also shift slightly as they age, making their gaze even more magical. Basically, every cat comes with their own custom set of windows to the soul 💛🐾 ... See MoreSee Less

One of our amazing volunteers is fostering Zeus and we wanted to share what she has to say about this sweet boy!
If you are one that has a special place in your heart and home for both the older or underdogs, Zeus is the one for you 🤎🐕!!
He comes with a few battle scars from an unpleasant past 😧 but will bring much happiness and a relaxed demeanor along with being housetrained. However he is not a fan of cats! But gosh does he love a squeaky toy! 😍
Zeus is really showing his personality as I received my first big kiss from him on his 5th day here 😘
This great dog is looking for his forever home. He will bring you much joy!!
If you’d like to meet or learn more about Zeus give us a call at (208)756-4100 ... See MoreSee Less
