🚨 GET IN, LOSER. WE’RE GOING TO MEET YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND. 🐾😂

It’s adoption day at PetSmart, and our available cats and dogs have cleared their very busy schedules of napping and being ridiculously good-looking to meet YOU.

**Save Monroe Strays and the Humane Society of Monroe County** will be there TODAY with adoptable pets ready to find their forever families! ❤️

🐱 The cats are seeking permanent staff. Duties include opening cans, purchasing toys they’ll ignore, and apologizing when THEY trip YOU.

🐶 The dogs are looking for someone to love with their entire soul… and possibly supervise while you eat cheese.

Some want adventure. Some want cuddles. Some would like to knock something off your counter while maintaining direct eye contact. **Let’s find your kind of weird.** 😂❤️

And there’s more:
🌮 Taqueria Nena’s will have delicious authentic Mexican food for purchase.
👟 Shoe Sensation has a sidewalk sale next door.
🐾 We have potential soulmates who will never complain about your cooking because they also eat lint.

**Come meet the crew, ask questions, and see who fits your family.** These little personalities deserve homes where they can be loved for exactly who they are. 🏡🧡

Can’t adopt? SHARE! Somebody on your friends list needs a new love interest with four legs and absolutely no income. 😉

🍪 LAST UP: THE DESSERT MENU—ALL SWEET, SLIGHTLY FURRY, AND ABOUT TO RUN YOUR HOUSE.

🍪 THE SWEETEST THINGS HERE COME WITH CLAWS. 😂

Skip the bakery. Your next sweet obsession has whiskers.

Samoas, Mochi, Thin Mint, and Tagalong are joining Save Monroe Strays at PetSmart this Saturday—and this dessert selection comes with a lifetime commitment. ❤️

🍪 SAMOAS: A fluffy little sweetheart who prefers a gentle introduction. Bring patience and let the friendship develop. Treats may help move your application to the appropriate department.

🍡 MOCHI: Excellent big sister. Enthusiastic playmate. Completely unqualified to respect your work schedule. She runs, plays, holds her own around big dogs, then climbs onto you for a purring nap. Rarely meows, makes adorable chirps, and occasionally uses your face as a parkour launchpad. Balance.

🌿 THIN MINT: A quiet little fluffball who needs time to feel comfortable before showing that playful side. A fan of food and treats, because having standards is important.

🍪 TAGALONG: Timid at first, with a playful personality waiting to come out. Seeking a patient home where settling in can happen at a comfortable pace. Snacks are welcome at every stage of the process.

Come meet the crew, talk with us about their personalities, and see who might fit your family! 🏡🐾

Please share! Unlike actual cookies, these sweethearts deserve to be loved well beyond the end of the box. ❤️

🐱 NEXT UP: WE’RE GONNA NEED A SECOND DATE—YOU HAVEN’T PASSED THE BACKGROUND SNIFF YET. 😂💕

💕 WE’RE GONNA NEED A SECOND DATE.

Some cats see a stranger and immediately climb into their lap. These girls would prefer to review your references first. Fair enough. 😂

Bracken, Mya, and Luna are looking for people who understand that a little patience can be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

🌿 BRACKEN: A gentle, independent 6-month-old girl who enjoys a quieter life. She’s not about to launch herself into your arms for a publicity photo—but once she trusts you, the little chatterbox comes out. Does wonderfully with other cats and kids. Quiet during introductions; saves her comments for people she knows.

💕 MYA: A little shy, a little sassy, and affectionate once she feels comfortable. She’d like time to get acquainted before discussing the cuddle arrangements. Honestly, a sensible approach to meeting someone from the internet.

🌙 LUNA: Another sweet girl with a shy side, a cuddly side, and just enough sass to keep things interesting. She’s close with Mya, so they’re sharing this spotlight—although they can also be adopted separately.

Come meet them at PetSmart this Saturday with Save Monroe Strays. They may be reserved in a busy setting, so ask us about the personalities their caregivers get to see! 🏡❤️

Their ideal opening line? “Take your time. I’m happy to get to know you.” 🐾

10/16/2026

🐱 **NEXT UP: SMALL PAWS. BIG OPINIONS. ZERO INTEREST IN YOUR HOUSE RULES.** 😂🐾

😹 SMALL PAWS. BIG OPINIONS.

Your home running a little too smoothly? We have a few adorable applicants ready to bring some personality to the situation. 😂

🍽️ TRIXIE: Plays hard, cuddles hard, and takes mealtime more seriously than most people take their careers. The best of both worlds—as long as both worlds include dinner.

🏴‍☠️ BANDIT: Adventurous snuggle enthusiast seeking a human with comfortable shoulders. Comes with a powerful purr and a tongue that frequently forgets to clock back in.

🍑 MILO: Started out keeping his distance. Recently discovered purring, playtime, and butt scratches. Now returning to customer service repeatedly because his scratch appointment apparently never ends.

🌶️ ANAKIN: Orange kitten. Adorable bobtail. Very clear terms and conditions. Loves food, playtime, pets, and being held—but will let you know when he needs space. He needs a patient person who respects his boundaries and helps him learn with positive reinforcement. Cute face, ongoing training subscription. 😉

Meet these little personalities at PetSmart this Saturday with Save Monroe Strays! We’ll help you learn more about each one and find the right fit. 🐾❤️

Share this post. Their future humans deserve fair warning about how cute they are.

🚨 THE DOGS HAD THEIR MOMENT. THE CATS WOULD NOW LIKE YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. 😹🐾

FIRST UP: THE CUDDLE CREW—PERSONAL SPACE SOLD SEPARATELY. 😂🐾

🐾 PERSONAL SPACE? NEVER HEARD OF HER. 😂

If you’re looking for a roommate who pays no bills and considers your lap community property, Save Monroe Strays has some candidates for you!

❤️ ROSS: Offers his belly for rubs like he’s presenting a five-star attraction. Gentle, friendly, and ready to turn “I should get up” into “Well, I guess I live here now.”

💬 PHOEBE: Tiny body. Full conversation. She wants morning cuddles, after-work cuddles, and a detailed explanation of where you’ve been. Feather toys are also an acceptable topic of discussion.

🔊 ROCKY: Our gentle giant comes equipped with a purr loud enough to announce his own arrival. Loves crinkle balls, playing with his siblings, and settling in for cuddles.

☀️ TINO: A laid-back sweetheart seeking a sunny window and a human within snuggling distance. He even grooms his siblings—handsome, affectionate, AND willing to help with housekeeping.

Come meet these professional lovebugs at PetSmart this Saturday with Save Monroe Strays! 🏡❤️

Share their faces! Someone you know has an empty lap and is making it everybody else’s problem. 😉

🐶 YOUR COUCH CALLED. IT WANTS A DOG. 🛋️😂

Avo and Hazel would like to discuss the dog-shaped vacancy in your family. The position is permanent. Neither of them have references from a previous employer because none of them intend to work. ❤️

🥑 AVO: HANDSOME ENOUGH TO GET AWAY WITH ASKING FOR ANOTHER WALK.

About 3 years old and 50 pounds, Avo is a Boxer/Pit Bull mix whose foster calls him the “best boy”—and he would like that added to all official paperwork. He gets along great with the adult female dog in his foster home and would love a family who enjoys walks, playtime, and regularly admiring his face. His hobbies require some activity. His good looks require no maintenance. 😉

🩶 HAZEL: A LITTLE SHY AT FIRST. STAGE-FIVE CLINGER ONCE YOU’RE CLEARED.

About 15 months old and spayed, Hazel is a former trucking sidekick who may need time and patience to warm up. Once she does, you’ve acquired a bouncy little shadow with a kissing problem. 😂💋 She’s potty trained, walks well on a leash, learns quickly, and plays great with the two dogs in her foster home. She’s still learning that greetings don’t require jumping, and blankets occasionally receive an unauthorized makeover when she misses her people. A dog sibling could help her build confidence and keep her company. Her dream job? Playmate by day. Your attached-at-the-hip cuddle buddy by night.

📍 Come meet Avo at PetSmart this Saturday with Save Monroe Strays! Interested in Hazel? Let us know so we can coordinate a chance to meet her, too. 🏡❤️

Can’t adopt? Share their faces! None of them have figured out Facebook, and frankly, their typing would be a disaster. 🐾😂

🐾 CANCEL YOUR PLANS. YOUR FUTURE PET HAS OTHER IDEAS. 🐾

Looking for something to do this Saturday? Come to PetSmart and let a stranger with paws make you question your household’s current pet limit. 😂❤️

Save Monroe Strays and the Humane Society of Monroe County will be there with adoptable cats and dogs ready to meet their future families!

The cats will be judging your outfit, your attitude, and whether you look financially prepared to buy the good treats. The dogs would just like to know if your car has room for them. 🐱🐶

We’ve got cuddle enthusiasts, tiny chaos coordinators, and potential couch potatoes seeking someone who understands that “your spot” is now a shared arrangement. 🛋️

And because falling in love works up an appetite, Taqueria Nena’s will have delicious authentic Mexican food for purchase! Check out Shoe Sensation’s sidewalk sale next door, too—your shoes deserve one last outing before a puppy steals them. 🌮👟😂

🍂 Come enjoy a crisp October Saturday, meet the crew, and see who catches your heart!

Watch our page for sneak peeks. Some of our available candidates have whiskers. All of them have demands. 😉

Can’t adopt? Share this post! Your friend might be one cat short of happiness and not even know it. 🐾❤️

🐾🚨 WARNING: EXTREME LEVELS OF CUTENESS! 🚨🐾

Seriously. LOOK. AT. THESE. FACES. 😍🐶

These two little nuggets are roughly 3 months old, full of puppy sweetness, and currently accepting applications for professional snugglers, treat dispensers, and temporary roommates! 😂❤️

That’s right! These adorable little mystery mutts need FOSTER or FOSTER-TO-ADOPT homes! 🏡💕

What breed are they? 🤷‍♀️ Your guess is as good as ours! We’re thinking they’ll be medium-sized dogs, but their DNA is keeping its secrets for now. 😂

Here’s the deal:

🐶 We provide: Food, supplies, vet care, and all the essentials!

❤️ You provide: A safe home, daily care, belly rubs, and someone to tell them 47 times a day how ridiculously cute they are.

💘 Accidentally fall in love? Oops! That’s a known side effect of fostering! As their foster, you’ll get first dibs on adopting one!

🐾 One little catch: We don’t adopt puppies out in pairs, so each of these cuties is looking for their own happily ever after.

And here’s the really cool part…

Fostering doesn’t just change the life of the puppy in your home. It opens up space for us to save another one. ❤️

So, who’s ready for a little puppy breath, some tiny toe beans, a whole lot of laughs, and possibly a few missing socks? 🧦😂

📩 SEND US A MESSAGE! Or comment below. These babies are ready to steal hearts, hog blankets, and make somebody’s life a whole lot sweeter.

Come on, people. LOOK AT THEM! How are we supposed to say no to those faces?! 🥹💕🐾

Participation in our HundredX fundraiser has been much lower than we'd hoped, and we really need our animal-loving community to help turn that around!

We all love seeing the happy adoption stories and animals getting second chances. But behind every one of those stories are expenses that never stop!

Take a look at the QuickBooks screenshot below, showing our expenses as of yesterday. We've highlighted our medical expenses and daily living costs (food, litter, vaccines, and other necessities). Caring for these animals isn't cheap!

Here's the best part — you can help without spending a dime!

Every completed HundredX survey earns Save Monroe Strays $1.60! That's $16 for just 10 surveys or $80 for 50! Each survey takes only a minute or two.

We know everyone is tired of creating accounts and passwords. We get it! But once you're signed up, it's quick and easy.

❤️ Not everyone can donate money, but donating a few minutes of your time can make a BIG difference!

Please don't scroll past this opportunity! Sign up, complete a few surveys, and encourage a friend to join you.

Our animals are counting on us, and we're counting on YOU! 🐶🐱❤️

Please share!

🌶️ SPICY SASHA HAS ENTERED HER SWEETHEART ERA. PLEASE RESPECT HER REBRAND. ❤️

“I was going through something. Please stop bringing up my first day.” —Sasha, probably. 😂

When Sasha first came into care, her customer service department was CLOSED. Friendship applications? Denied. Your intentions? Suspicious. Her willingness to discuss it? Absolutely none. 🌶️

But underneath that tough-girl attitude was a scared kitty who needed time to feel safe. And once she realized she could trust us, we discovered that our little jalapeño was actually a sweetheart. ❤️

Now she’s an absolute love—although she would appreciate it if we stopped telling everyone about her spicy era. Apparently, that information was supposed to stay between her and management. 😂

Sasha is a gorgeous short-haired grey girl with a little white patch on her chest. She’s estimated to be around 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and ready for a family of her own. 🏡

Her updated résumé includes:

🌶️ Experience setting VERY clear boundaries.
❤️ A sweet side that was worth waiting for.
😹 Successfully making the rescue look dramatic for naming her “Spicy.”
🐾 Looking gorgeous without contributing a single dollar toward household expenses.

She may still have a little spice in her soul, but these days, the name is mostly a historical reference.

Who’s ready to give Sasha a home—and let her leave her customer service reviews in the past? ❤️🌶️
