Nunu

Meet Nunu, a charming 4-year-old pittie with a heart full of love, currently seeking a forever home through adoption. Resilient and affectionate, Nunu’s warm personality makes her a perfect companion for people and children alike. Her journey began when she was discovered abandoned and tied to a pole, but despite her past, she has remained optimistic and trusting.

While Nunu adores human company, she prefers to be the only pet in her new home, as she isn’t fond of other animals. Additionally, her strong prey drive means she should be supervised while outside to ensure she doesn’t chase after cats or squirrels.

With her gentle nature and desire for affection, Nunu promises to shower her new family with boundless love and loyalty, making her a wonderful addition to any loving home.

Romeo & Sweetheart

Romeo and Sweetheart are 2 and a half year old Great Danes that came to us from a hoarding situation. They are the definition of gentle giants. Romeo is a gentleman and is very sweet with his affection. Sweetheart is a little more up front when she wants attention, but she’s very respectful. They are good with other dogs but cannot live with cats. They don’t need to be adopted together, but we’d love for them to go to the same home.

Jeeves

Meet Jeeves, a 9 year old male cat with a big personality who is ready to find his forever home. Jeeves may be a bit shy when you first meet him. However, with a little patience and love, Jeeves starts to come out of his shell. He’ll greet you with tiny chirps that will ascend to a symphony of meows. Jeeves loves to sing. He faced a tough journey when he first came to us underweight and suffering from digestive issues, but these have since resolved. Jeeves is looking for a loving family that can provide plenty of cozy spots for him to relax and feel secure. He has also shown himself to appreciate the companionship of small canines, but no other cats.

Jace

Meet Jace, an 11-month-old mixed breed dog with a heart full of potential. Jace came to us from a difficult situation where he was underweight and not well cared for. Despite this, he’s a sweet boy who just needs time to feel safe. He’s a little nervous around strangers, but once he warms up, he’s eager to please. Jace has lived with dogs and children, though we recommend a home with older kids due to his shy nature. He should meet any future canine siblings first. Jace is a good boy who’s ready to find a family that will give him the love and care he deserves. All he needs is a chance to thrive!

Stuart

Young Male (altered), Bully Mix – 1 year

Stuart is a small pup with a BIG personality! He is a very unique boy that faces specific challenges navigating the world. He is looking for a special person to help him on his journey. He has limited mobility and hearing but he does not let that get him down! His feet are sadly the result of poor breeding which causes him to walk a little funny. Because movement is difficult for him, he loves to expend energy through chewing and playing with toys. He is able to walk or even run on flatter, smoother surfaces, but requires plenty of resting breaks. He can actually run very fast when he wants to! He lived in a foster home with 4 other dogs and did great with them. He will always keep you laughing with his hilarious personality and happy spirit! If you think you are up for the task of assisting this extraordinary little guy through the world, call today!
