Story
Meet Truffles! This senior gal is looking for a home that can provide some extra love. Truffles is considered to be a special care adoption due to being severely overweight and will need special care in her adoptive home to help with weight loss. Due to Truffle`s weight, she is unable to properly groom herself and will need extra care to assist with grooming, including shaving and cleaning her per perianal area to prevent fecal matter matting and perianal dermatitis. Truffles has lived with another dog in the past and tolerated it, so a slow introduction would be best if there are other dogs. We also would recommend that she go home with either older kids, or no kids at all due to her prior home history. Truffles is a sweet girl who is absolutely ready for her forever home and would love a place to be able to decompress and open up in. Come in today to our adoption center to meet this sweet girl!

Story
Meet Nutmegg! This sweet girl came to us when her owner could no longer care for her. She’s been described as an easy-going, gentle cat with a loving personality. Nutmegg enjoys playtime now and then, but she truly shines as a cuddle companion. She’s very affectionate, loves rubbing against her humans, and often follows her people from room to room.While in foster, she happily curls up nearby, quietly keeping company, and sometimes she’ll let out the softest meow as if she’s chatting. Nutmegg also loves relaxing by the window, watching the world go by, and sneaking in a cozy nap. She hasn’t met other animals before, so we’re not sure how she’d react to cats or dogs, but with a slow, thoughtful introduction, she’d likely do well.Nutmegg is patiently waiting to find her forever home, come meet her today!
