Meet Louis!

This 1-year-old, 47 lb Black Lab is a sweet, snuggly guy with a gentle soul and a goofy streak. He may be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, Louis becomes your loyal shadow—convinced he’s a lap dog and always ready for cuddles.

Louis is the perfect mix of calm and playful. He’s smart, treat-motivated, and already knows “sit” and “lay down.” House-trained and trustworthy when left alone, he’s respectful in the home and thrives on routine.

Looking for a loyal, lovable companion to share your days with? Louis is ready to be your best boy.

Meet Molly!

This gorgeous 1-year-old orange domestic long hair is a rare gem—not just because orange female cats are uncommon, but because Molly’s personality is just as lovely as her fluffy coat!

Barely more than a kitten herself, Molly recently finished raising three adorable babies and is now ready for her next chapter: a forever home where she can be the one getting pampered. At just 6.6 lbs, she’s a petite little lady with a big heart.

Molly is friendly and affectionate, and she’s already lived with kids in her foster home, so she’s used to a bit of hustle and bustle. Whether it’s lounging in a sunny window, soaking up head scratches, or curiously following you around, Molly is ready to be your new best friend.

Now that her mothering days are behind her, it’s time for Molly to be the center of attention—just as she deserves.
