Fred is doing great! From the moment he got to my apartment, he seemed super happy and right at home. It was as if he’d been here his whole life! He is always looking for some pets and a cuddle, and just purrs his heart out!

Sebastian is cuddly, lovable, friendly, laid back and likes other dogs. He’s not a puppy and he has heartworms — those are the only reasons we can think of for his waiting around since June for a home. His wait is over. This sweet couple saw the good in Sebastian, didn’t mind giving him a…
Gabe is sitting pretty now in his new home! This family saw Gabe at our adoption event two Saturdays ago at Petsmart Johnson Ferry Rd.
