Momma Cass and her kittens: Alexander the Great (orange tabby), Darius (orange tabby), and Xerxes (black tabby) are a Tails High, Inc. family, all looking for their forever homes. Their family photo features everyone but Darius. The proud mother of these adorable, playful boy kittens, Momma Cass, is a petite girl with a sweet and loving disposition. After mothering them so well, she would love to find some peace and quiet away from the kids happily purring in your lap. She enjoys being held, is good with children, and gets along well with other cats If you would like to adopt a member of this beautiful family, or any of our adoptable cats and kittens, please complete our adoption application on our website. You can also visit us at one of our upcoming events!

Taking his name from the icy river he survived falling into, this young beagle/boxer mix from Rural Dog Rescue has anything but an icy personality. Ice is very well behaved, crate and house trained, and a huge cuddle bug – just check out the video of him and his foster family! Now with the rescue, Ice is hoping he’ll be lucky again and find his forever home. You can apply to adopt Ice, or any of our animals, by sending the adoption application here. If you would like to foster one of our animals, feel free to send the foster application to that email address as well. Our next adoption event is this Saturday, July 27th, at Howl to the Chief, 733 8th Street SE from noon until 3pm.


Meet Scooter – a 2-4 year old basset/bulldog mixed pup that City Dogs Rescue pulled from the shelter in just the nick of time! Scooter is a natural cuddler with a sunny personality that would be the perfect companion for an active person or family. Scooter is a waggly, playful pup, and loves to be with his people. He is even housetrained, knows how to sit, and responds well to “come”! You can apply to adopt Scooter or any of our available dogs on our adoption page, apply to foster one of our pups here, or meet some of our pups at one of our upcoming events!
