Are you looking for a sweet and gentle soul to welcome into your family? Then Emily Elizabeth might be the perfect match for you. This lovely pup has a kind heart and a tender spirit. She can be a bit shy at first and is still learning to feel comfortable around new people and places. Emily Elizabeth is a bit under socialized, so she’ll need some time, patience, and lots of love to truly come out of her shell, but once she feels safe and secure, she’ll reward you with endless affection and loyalty. If you’re willing to give her the chance she deserves, Emily Elizabeth will be a devoted and loving companion.

Introducing Ziva! She has finished raising her seven kittens, and is looking for a home to call her own! Ziva is incredibly outgoing and thrives off of attention. She is often weaving between people’s ankles and leaning against their legs, and jumps up to rub her face against your hands when requesting scritches. When she’s had her fill she explores and plays with kitten-like energy. Ziva is a true foodie, too! She always eats her fill and never turns down seconds. Currently, she is eating a prescription diet to help manage her digestive system and is doing well! Loveable and lively, Ziva’s ready to for her forever home – is it yours?
