Please submit your adoption application before coming in to meet your next furry family member.
November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and so for this week's Adorable Adoptables we're shining a spotlight on cats and dogs who are aged to perfection and looking for PAWrents who will give them the loving homes they deserve. The extra years have given these adorable cats and dogs even more character, personality, and appreciation of life and the people who care for them. Let them fill your heart with all of the love that they have to give.
You can read all about why a senior might be your best match here: "5 Reasons to Adopt a Senior Pet."
We encourage you to fill out an application before you come in to begin the adoption process.
Then visit the shelter to meet your newest furry family member!

TORTELLINI
Golden girl Tortellini is a radiant 10-year-old dilute tortoiseshell cat who was found as a stray and now blesses our shelter with her sweet nature and elegant demeanor. Age hasn't dimmed her playful spirit. Her tender purrs and affectionate nudges speak volumes about her loving heart.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Sylvie's spirit remains unwaveringly sweet and affectionate. Now this super senior is ready to embrace a new chapter in life.
As an endearing companion, Sylvie craves love and human companionship. She has a unique charm that captivates everyone she meets.

SCOTTY
Meet sweet senior Scotty, a charming 10-year-old, 73-pound mixed breed dog who is eagerly awaiting his dream home. This adorable boy found himself at the shelter when his previous owner could no longer care for him, and he's been feeling a bit stressed in the shelter environment. Scotty is a loyal companion who enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like a good game of tug of war or a fun round of fetch.
Scotty is a well-trained dog who knows his commands and is eager to please. To help manage his anxiety, he would thrive in a calm and loving home with no other dogs or children. With the right family, Scotty promises to be a devoted and loyal friend who will bring joy and happiness to your life.
GIA
With her adorable underbite, 8-year-old Akita and English Bulldog mix Gia will charm you from the moment you lay eyes on her.
Gia's ideal home would be one where she can shine as the only pet, allowing her to bask in the undivided attention and love of her new family. Because of her size and strength, we are recommending a home with children aged 12 and above, making her an excellent choice for families with older kids.
Gia’s is a loyal lady and she will be a devoted and vigilant companion, always ready to keep her loved ones safe.
If you're seeking an extraordinary canine companion with a heart full of love, Gia is eagerly waiting to become a cherished member of your family.
