Home 2 Home Adoptions
KEEP PETS OUT OF THE SHELTER
Our Home 2 Home Adoption Program helps pet owners find new homes for their pets without bringing them into the shelter. This keeps pets in a familiar environment, reduces stress, and allows the shelter to focus on animals in urgent need.

Name: Kona
Gender: Male
Age: 8 months
Weight: 45lbs
Spayed: No
Breed: Lab, Beagle, Australian Shepherd
This handsome 8-month-old tan male is a Labrador Retriever, Beagle, and Australian Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and a whole lot of energy! He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and is ready to find a family that can give him the active lifestyle he deserves.
His previous owners loved him very much, but after the husband passed away, his wife was no longer able to care for him due to health reasons. Now he's looking for a fresh start with someone who has the time and energy to help him thrive.
While he hasn't had much socialization, he's a sweet, affectionate boy who just needs patience and guidance as he continues to learn about the world. Because he's young and energetic, he'll do best with a family that enjoys daily walks, playtime, and interactive activities to keep both his mind and body busy.
If you're looking for a loyal companion and are willing to invest the time to help a young dog reach his full potential, this lovable guy could be the perfect addition to your family.

Name: Rascal
Gender: Male
Age: 5yrs
Spayed: Yes
Breed: Longhair
Rascal is looking for a quiet, understanding home where he can settle in at his own pace. After the recent passing of his beloved owner, he has experienced a lot of change and is searching for someone who will give him the patience and stability he deserves.
Rascal is an independent cat who enjoys affection on his own terms. He isn't a fan of being picked up or cuddled, but once he feels comfortable, he'll come to you when he's ready for pets and attention. He appreciates having his own space and will thrive with someone who understands and respects his boundaries.
Because of his personality and recent experiences, Rascal would do best as the only pet in the home and in a household without young children. While he previously lived peacefully with another cat and a small dog, he had plenty of space to retreat when he wanted alone time. More recently, a rehoming didn't work out because he wasn't comfortable sharing a home with another cat, so we believe he'd be happiest as the center of someone's world.
Rascal is looking for a calm, patient family that will allow him to adjust at his own pace. In return, you'll gain a loyal companion who will reward your kindness with trust and affection when he's ready.
If you're searching for a low-key feline friend who values companionship without constant attention and updated on vaccinations, Rascal may be the perfect match for you
