We couldn’t be more heart-warmed watching these incredible animals start their new adventures!

We hope this good news makes your Monday a whole lot brighter… and if you need an actual lap warmer, trust us — we’ve got plenty of those ready to apply for the job. 😉

Sometimes the best part of photo day isn’t the perfect poses… it’s the bloopers. 😆📸
Today we’re sharing something a little different — a collection of the funniest, silliest, and most unexpected moments we catch behind the scenes during our photoshoots.
From dogs giving us their “I’m ready for my close-up” smiles… to cats deciding now is the perfect time to dramatically look off in the distance, our animals always keep us on our toes. 🐶🐱
There are wiggles, out-of-focus zoomies, tongue bleps, and more than a few “what even just happened?” shots.
These goofy moments remind us that every animal here has an incredible personality, a sense of humor, and a way of making us laugh even on our busiest days. 💛
We hope these outtakes bring you just as much joy as they bring us. 🐾😄 ... See MoreSee Less

🌟 Foster Friday Spotlight: WAYLON! 🌟
Waylon’s foster parents sent us some incredible photos of this handsome guy — and they’re hoping these sweet snapshots help him find the loving home he deserves! 🧡📸
Here’s what they had to say about him:
✨ “He’s a big cuddly sweetheart who loves people and other dogs. He loves hiking and lounging around the house. He’s very playful and incredibly sweet. He is pretty quiet and rarely barks. Would do great with another dog companion, great family dog (great with kids). He’s a real sweetie with lots of love to give.”
If you’re looking for the perfect adventure buddy AND snuggle partner, Waylon just might be your guy! 🐾💙
Come meet him and let his gentle heart win you over! ... See MoreSee Less

🌍💖 Happy World Kindness Day! 💖🌍
Today truly is a day filled with kindness and generosity! ✨
We’re beyond excited to share that ALL of our senior cats’ adoption fees have been PAID IN FULL by a generous guardian angel! 😻💫 Ellie, Sky, Maestro, and McDonald!
And the good news keeps coming — our sweet pup Cash’s adoption fee has also been covered! 🐶💛
While adoption fees are taken care of, we still require a completed adoption application to ensure every animal finds their perfect forever home.

🐾 We’re caring for close to 80 cats and kittens right now — that’s a full-on clowder (yep, that’s the real word for a group of cats)! At this point, we might just rename ourselves The Clowder Society! 😹
This is your sign to adopt one of our sweet souls — from playful kittens to wise old snugglers. 💛
✨ Fun fact: Cats can have up to 12 kittens a year, which is why spaying and neutering is so important. Please help us out — we’re bursting at the seams and there’s officially cat hair in the printer. 🐈⬛
💰 November special: Senior cats are only $20 for National Senior Cat Month! Give a golden-aged kitty the cozy retirement they deserve.
Come meet your purrfect match today! 🐾💞 ... See MoreSee Less
