Adoptions are happening! Bubbles, the English bulldog, has found his forever home with a lovely English lady who has renamed him Winston. And tuxedo cat Curious has found a family to love him as well. We wish them both well in their new homes.

Another success story — the white and black stray cat Ovid has been reunited with his family. They were all very happy.

The young tuxedo feline Maryanne has joined Chaps and Milo in the cat room. She is on the mend from her health issues and hoping to find a new home where she can share her love and sweet personality with that special someone or family.

Beauty, the long-haired female cat with the gorgeous green eyes, is enjoying spending her time with the staff and volunteers in the lobby helping to greet visitors. Come meet her, her beauty may just sweep you off you feet.
