Meet Rita! This adorable little lady is ready for her forever home! She’s a sweet, low-key cat who lives for a comfy spot to chill. Rita is treat-motivated, too! The quickest way to her heart is a crunchy snack. With some time to settle in, and some treats, you’ll have a wonderful companion by your side in no time! If your home sounds like the place for Rita, come by and visit her today!

Meet Stella, a beautiful adult Husky mix with a big personality and even bigger energy! True to her breed, Stella is an active, intelligent girl who thrives on physical exercise and mental challenges. She loves spending time with her people, whether that’s hanging out together or playing an enthusiastic game of fetch. At the end of the day, though, she’s ready to snuggle and get some good scratches. Stella would do best in a home with older kids who can understand and enjoy her energetic nature, and she’ll need a cat-free home. She’s still working on some basic obedience, like polite leash walking and keeping all four paws on the ground, but with consistency and love, she’ll shine. Stella is ready for an active family to call her own! Come meet Stella today!
