Mr. Cheeky (formerly Chico) was my first foster dog. I was determined to find the very best home for him and I did. It just happened to be mine! He was at Homeless Pets because his owner fell on hard times and was living out of her car. Now he greets me and my husband at the door with a big smile on his face. Literally!

He’s a constant bright spot in our lives! -Leanne Thomassen (HPF Volunteer)

From homeless to happy. Hulk, now called Hank, got a loving set of people-parents and two canine companions out of this deal. It’s rewarding to help our community’s homeless animals this way. Thank you for supporting adoption!
Fame was one of our many orphaned kittens that we’ve rescued this year. He came to us tiny and fighting for his life. Our amazing bottle feeding volunteer nursed him back to health and now he has a family to call his own.
