Crypt has some new fabulous pictures to show off in hopes that he finds his forever home soon! 💫 This 4 year old, 19 pound Chihuahua/Terrier mix is handsome, playful, smart, and a cuddle bug. He radiates joy wherever he goes and knows just how to put a huge smile on anyone's face! Crypt has been overlooked for a few weeks now, but how can you resist that cute underbite (which makes him appear to have a pouty lip)? Come on in and fall in love with Crypt! 💙

We have three new adorable toddlers that can't wait to meet you!😻

🦋Butterfly (calico)- 3 month old female Medium Hair kitten who is equal parts cuddle bug and playtime enthusiast! She adores her belly being rubbed and snuggled like the royalty she is. Butterfly is also full of s***k and enjoys playing with toys, especially a teaser wand!
🐛Caterpillar (tabby)- 3 month old female Domestic Shorthair is sweet and silly! She is a total lovebug who seeks out her humans, jumping right into your lap and purring away. Caterpillar also enjoys playing with toys and having a blast with her siblings!
🪰Jitterbug (black)- 3 month old female Domestic Shorthair kitten who has mild Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), but that doesn't stop her! She zooms around at full speed keeping up with her siblings with unstoppable enthusiasm. Jitterbug's favorite place in the world is curled up in a plush cat bed or snuggled up to her people.

***ADOPTED***
Meet Sakari, the gorgeous 1 year old female Border Collie mix seeking her forever home. This 29 pound pup is full of playful energy and a whole lot of love! Sakari bonds closely to her humans and never strays far from their side. She is a little velcro dog and being the perfect size, it's hard not to love this sweet girl! Sakari is a very energetic pooch, so she would thrive with an active family who will ensure she receives plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. On a beautiful day she loves exploring, going for long strolls, and frolicking around the yard with her humans. Sakari is also a huge snuggle bug and will lay nicely in the grass for belly rubs and massages. She has the biggest heart and will make a fabulous companion for someone looking for a s***ky, cuddlesome canine! With Sakari in your home, it will forever be filled with endless snuggling, lots of laughter, and playful antics.
