Lamb Chop

    Hi, I'm Lamb Chop, a ten-year-old mini-poodle with a gentle spirit and a wise little face. I may be a senior, but don't count me out! I still love going for walks, getting attention, and being part of someone's life. I've got all
    A Closer Look

    Mr. Pibbles

    When 12-year-old Mr. Pibbles lost his beloved owner, he ended up in a rural shelter—heartbroken, confused, and in serious pain. His breath was so bad, staff worried no one would take a chance on him.

    Boris

    When Boris’s person passed away, his world turned upside down.

    Benny

    For Benny’s mom, he is everything. Her best friend. Her family. Her entire world. 

    Princess

    Fifteen years ago, a little girl wished for a hamster—but instead, she got something even better: a tiny Chihuahua puppy named Princess. The two grew up together, inseparable through every stage of life. Now 21, Princess’s devoted owner has done everything she can to keep her best friend healthy, even saving up for a dental procedure. But when Princess was diagnosed with pyometra—a life-threatening infection—she was heartbroken, unsure how she could afford the emergency surgery her senior pup desperately needed.

    Einstein

    Eight-year-old Einstein may be a little nearsighted, but when he met his new family, he saw everything he needed—love, security, and a fresh start.

    Henrietta

    Of all the things 14-year-old Henrietta could have lost in her time as a stray, her spirit wasn’t one of them. When she arrived at a county shelter on the Arizona-Nevada border, this tiny Chihuahua was still full of wags and smiles—even as she battled advanced dental disease that had spread into her jaw.

    Luna

    For Luna and her dad, home is wherever they’re together. But when life took an unexpected turn, Luna’s devoted owner—a veteran—needed emergent, temporary shelter and resources to get back on his feet. That meant finding a safe place for Luna, too.
