Meet June!

If we had to guess what Junes favorite word (or activity) would be, we would guess... "Napping." June is a laid back cat who would love to be your couch napping buddy. While sleeping is one of her favorite pastimes, she also loves to her play time, whether that be with you or another feline friend!

June would thrive best in a home that lets her wonderful personality shine where she can nap and play as she pleases. She gets along great with other cats and kittens so even if you're unable to give her some more attention, she won't mind playing with a friend.

Say hello to Julia! This sweet girl is only about 3 months old and ready to find her forever home!

We believe that Julia may be a Terrier, Pit Bull/Doberman Pinscher mix, which gives her an adorable look and a fun, playful personality.

Like most puppies her age, Julia will benefit from leash training and will most likely need some help with house training, but she is full of potential and ready to learn! Julia is also super food motivated which will make training a fun and rewarding time!

She is sure to grow into a loyal and amazing companion, so if you're looking for a playful puppy to grow alongside your family, Julia might just be the perfect match!
