💙 Sweet Nicky is STILL looking for his forever home… and we’re starting to wonder where his people are! 🥺

In case you missed him the first time around, let us reintroduce this handsome boy.
Nicky is a Lab mix born June 5. He’s neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, and he does great with dogs, cats, and kids.

He’s a sweet boy who’s doing well with crate training, but what Nicky really needs is a family who will help him continue building his confidence. He would thrive with patient people who will show him that the world isn’t so scary and that he really can be the brave little lad we know he is. 💙

Once he feels comfortable, Nicky would love nothing more than to play, explore, go on adventures, and be part of the family.

He doesn’t need perfection. He just needs someone willing to give him the chance to become the best boy he can be.

Maybe his forever family just hasn’t seen him yet. Please help us change that. 🐾

💗 Meet Wynette… again. 💗

We’ve posted this sweet girl before, and somehow no one showed any interest in her. We truly do not understand how, because Wynette is such a total catch.

She’s a beautiful Lab mix born July 14, and she’s spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She does great with dogs, cats, and kids, and she’s the perfect mix of playful chaos and absolute sweetheart.

Wynette is definitely rambunctious and loves to have fun, but she’s also extremely loving, affectionate, cuddly, and eager to please. She’s doing great with crate training, takes commands very well, and is proving to be one smart little girl.

She has so much personality, so much love to give, and she’s still sitting here waiting for someone to finally notice her.

We’ve already introduced Wynette once… maybe this time, her person will actually see her. ❤️🐾

Poor Alex is starting to wonder if anyone is ever going to pick him. 💔

He’s a Lab mix and was born on June 5th, he’s already neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He’s such a sweet, friendly, playful boy and gets along great with other dogs, cats, and kids.

Alex is also doing really well with housebreaking and crate training, and he walks nicely on a leash. He’s trying so hard to be a good boy and honestly has all the makings of a wonderful family dog.
And yet… not one application for him.

Alex is affectionate, social, fun, and just wants a family to call his own. Someone to play with him, teach him new things, let him curl up nearby, and make him feel like he finally belongs somewhere.

We really hope someone sees his sweet little face and realizes that he would make such a wonderful addition to a family.

If you think Alex could be the missing piece in your family, please submit an adoption application through our website. And if you can’t adopt right now, please share his post — his person may be one share away. 🥹💙🐾

We really don’t understand how Justice is still waiting.

This little guy is just such a sweetheart. He’s about 4 months old, currently around 8 pounds, and we expect him to stay under 25 pounds when fully grown. He’s already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.

Justice is the kind of puppy who just wants to be with you. He loves to play, cuddle, follow you around, and give kisses EVERY chance he gets. He’s great with other dogs, kids, and cats, and he’s doing really well in his crate. He’s still working on housebreaking, but he’s a baby and learning quickly.

He has such a sweet little personality and really just wants someone to love.
That’s honestly the part that gets us, because he has so much love to give, and he’s still sitting here waiting for someone to choose him.

So… what the heck, people?

Justice is ready for his family. He’s ready for his own couch, his own people, and someone who won’t mind being covered in puppy kisses on a daily basis.

He’s just waiting for someone to finally say, “Come on, Justice. You’re coming home.” Will that be you?

Howdy, friends! Annie Oakley here 🤠🐾

I’m a 1-year-old Shepherd mix, about 60 pounds, and I’m already full grown - so what you see is what you get. And what you get is a very sweet, very playful, very social girl who is basically ready to become somebody’s best friend.

I’m already spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, so all the responsible stuff is handled. I’m also crate trained, leash trained, and GREAT in the car, which means I am fully prepared for road trips, snack runs, hiking adventures, or honestly just riding around because I like being included.

I absolutely LOVE other dogs. Big dogs, little dogs, somewhere-in-the-middle dogs, I am very much here for the friendship. I’m also great with kids and really enjoy being around people. I’m playful, affectionate, and happiest when I get to be part of whatever is going on.

One of my favorite things in the world is being outside. Walks? Yes. Yard time? Absolutely. Running around and playing? Sign me up. I’m the kind of girl who would love a family that actually enjoys doing things and doesn’t mind bringing me along for the fun.

I also have no food aggression, because I am a civilized lady.

Now, full disclosure: cats and I are probably not going to be besties. I think chasing them is way too entertaining, so I would be happiest in a cat-free home where nobody has to spend their day yelling, “ANNIE, LEAVE THE CAT ALONE.”

Other than that? I’m kind of a catch.

I’m sweet, dog friendly, kid friendly, playful, trained, great in the car, and always ready for an adventure.

So if you’ve been looking for a fun-loving girl who wants to explore the world with you, make dog friends, hang out with the kids, and then hop in the car like, “Okay, where are we going next?” Then I think we should probably be best friends. 🤠❤️

They have waited their entire lives for someone to choose them. 💔

Frijoles, better known as Bean, and her brother Queso were born on August 27, 2025 and have been with us since the day they were born.

They have grown up in rescue.

They’ve watched other cats come and go.

And somehow, no one has ever said, “Those two. I want them.”
We really, really hope that changes soon.

These two are a bonded pair, but their personalities couldn’t be more different — and honestly, that’s exactly why they need each other. Both Bean and Queso are great with other cats, dogs, and children. They are also litter box trained and ready to go!

🫘 FRIJOLES “BEAN” — THE BRAVE SISTER
Bean took a little while to decide that humans might actually be acceptable company, but once she started opening up, her personality really began to shine.
She is:�🐾 VERY food motivated�🐾 Playful and curious�🐾 Vocal - especially when there are birds outside that need to be yelled at�🐾 Happy to hang out nearby on the couch or footrest�🐾 A fan of pets, although she isn’t quite a lap cat… yet�🐾 Basically willing to negotiate almost anything for a Churu

And then there’s her greatest weakness: ramen. 😂

Ramen was actually what finally broke the ice between Bean and her foster because apparently she could resist humans, but she absolutely could NOT resist noodles.
Bean continues to blossom more and more, and we truly think she is going to be a fabulous cat once she settles into her forever home.

She also has a very important job: helping her brother Queso be brave.

🧀 QUESO — PROFESSIONAL SUSPICIOUS GUY

Queso is still working on his confidence.
To be completely transparent, he currently looks at his foster like she may be plotting his murder at any given moment. 😂 His eyes get approximately the size of the moon when she gets too close.

BUT…

He follows her around all day.

He clearly wants to be part of what’s happening. He’ll creep closer and closer, sometimes getting all the way to her fingertips when her arm is stretched out, and he has even started touching her hand.

He just hasn’t quite figured out yet that humans are actually pretty great.
Thankfully, Churu is helping immensely.

And so is Bean.

Queso watches his sister constantly, follows her lead, stays close behind her, and is noticeably more confident when she is around. Bean shows him that maybe the world isn’t quite as scary as he thinks it is.

Because of that, we are looking for a home where Queso and Bean can stay together.
Queso needs someone patient who isn’t expecting an instant lap cat. He needs time, treats, consistency, and the freedom to decide when he’s ready.

Most importantly, he needs his brave sister beside him.

They’ve already waited their whole lives. We don’t want them to spend another year wondering when their family is coming.

If you have room in your home and your heart for a slightly dramatic Bean, her suspicious little cheese brother, and a whole lot of Churu… Frijoles & Queso are waiting. ❤️

Meet Mango & Marley - your next favorite dynamic duo. 🐱🐱

Mango and Marley are both little boys, and these two are a BONDED PAIR.

That means one thing very clearly:
They are NOT available separately. They must be adopted together.
No exceptions, no “but I only want one,” no splitting up the duo. These two are a package deal, best friends, playmates, partners in crime, and probably co-conspirators in whatever trouble they’re planning next. 😂

They’ve received their age-appropriate vaccines, are litter box trained, and are friendly with dogs, cats, and kids.

They are both super social and love being part of the action. They enjoy being pet, picked up, played with, and included in whatever their humans are doing.

And when we say they love to play, we mean it.

Expect zoomies. Expect wrestling matches. Expect toys being launched across the room for reasons known only to them. Expect at least one moment a day where you stop what you’re doing and wonder, “What on earth are those two doing now?” 😂

The good news is, when they’re done being tiny chaos machines, they are also sweet, affectionate little kittens who enjoy attention and being loved on.

Mango and Marley already have something really special: each other.

They sleep together, play together, explore together, and find comfort in having their other half nearby. We will not separate a bonded pair just to make adoption easier.

So whoever falls in love with Mango needs to be ready to fall in love with Marley too, and vice versa!

Two kittens. One adoption. Zero negotiations. 💛🐾

If your home has room for twice the fun, twice the purrs, twice the cuddles, and twice the entertainment, Mango & Marley are ready to go home with you.

Happy Monday! ☀️🐾

Can we talk about how ALL of these beautiful pups are STILL looking for their forever homes?!

And somehow, a majority of them haven’t received A SINGLE APPLICATION. Not one. Zero. Nada. 😭
We’re honestly sitting here wondering… WHAT IS GOING ON?! 😂
These babies are sweet, adorable, loving, and so ready to find their people. They shouldn’t still be waiting — especially without anyone even giving them a chance.
So if you’ve been thinking about adopting, maybe this is your sign. 💛 And if you’re not ready to adopt, please share this post. Their future family might be one share away.

Let’s get these babies HOME. 🏡🐶

Meet Sugar 🤍

Sugar is a Heeler mix, possibly with some Basenji, born on October 21, 2024. She weighs about 30 pounds and is fully grown, so she’s a great medium-sized girl.

She is already:
✨ Spayed�✨ Microchipped�✨ Up to date on vaccines�✨ Housebroken�✨ Crate trained�✨ Leash trained�✨ Not destructive

Sugar is wonderful with other dogs and kids. She hasn’t met cats yet, so we can’t say for sure how she would do with them.

Personality-wise, she really lives up to her name.
She is sweet, affectionate, playful, and easygoing. She loves being around her people and enjoys having fun, but she doesn’t need to be entertained every second of the day.
Her energy level is right in the middle. She’s happy to go for a walk, play with other dogs, or join you for an adventure, but she’s equally happy to come home, get comfortable, and relax.
Basically, Sugar understands balance.

Have some fun. Get some exercise. Then find a comfy spot and call it a day. 😂
She already has so many of the skills people hope for in an adult dog, and now she’s just missing the most important thing — a family of her own.

If you’re looking for a sweet, well-mannered, 30-pound companion who can fit right into everyday life, you might just need a little Sugar. 🤍🐾

♥️ MEET CINNAMON ♥️

Hi, I’m Cinnamon, and yes, I am just as sweet as my name suggests, but I’ve also got enough personality to keep things interesting. 🤎

I’m a Heeler mix, possibly with some Basenji in the mix, born on October 21, 2024. I weigh about 30 pounds, and I’m done growing, so this is the full Cinnamon package. No surprise upgrades to XL later.

I’m already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines, and I’ve apparently been paying attention in dog school because I’m house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. I’m also not destructive, so your furniture can relax.

I’m great with other dogs and kids, and while I haven’t met cats yet, I’m a very social, happy girl. I like being part of whatever is happening, especially if it involves my people. I’m curious, engaged, and always ready to see what everyone is up to.

My energy level is right in that sweet spot. I’m absolutely down for a walk, some playtime, or an adventure, but I also know when it’s time to settle in and relax. I’m basically the friend who says, “Yes, let’s go do something!” and then two hours later is very committed to the couch.
I’ve got a really endearing mix of sweetness and confidence. I’m affectionate, fun, and easy to have around, but I’m not boring. I’ve got opinions. I’ve got charm. I’ve got a little sparkle.
Mostly, though, I’m just looking for people who will make me part of their everyday life - walks, car rides, hanging around the house, playtime, lazy evenings, all of it.

If you’re looking for a medium-sized girl with good manners, a fun personality, and a whole lot of sweetness, I think I could fit into your life pretty easily.

And really… who doesn’t need a little more Cinnamon? 🤎🐾
