Pet of the week: Mr. Jay!🐾💚

Small body… BIG personality.
 Mr. Jay is the kind of pup who makes himself right at home in your heart (and your bed… and your couch… and basically everywhere).

At just 11 months old, this little guy is full of love, loyalty, and nonstop charm. He warms up fast, lives for attention, and has that perfect mix of playful energy + cuddle mode.

From zoomies in the grass to melting into belly rubs… Mr. Jay is ready for a forever home.

Ready to meet your new best friend?
 Apply to adopt Mr. Jay today 💚

We have a kitten OVERLOAD… and we need your help❤️🐾

Mamas, tiny babies, whole litters—there’s just too many right now and not enough space. We need all of these little bodies out of our office and into foster care, where they can get the undivided attention they deserve. We’ll provide all the supplies—you just provide the safe place.

Remember, fostering saves lives! Text (210) 372-5995 to foster now.

Saddle up… we’ve got a whole herd that needs a place to stay! 🤠🐾

These pups are ready to ride out of the shelter and into a home—even if it’s just for a little while. From tiny sidekicks to big adventure buddies, they’re all just waiting to be picked.

We’ll provide everything… you just open your home. 💛

Round up a new best friend (temporarily) and be the reason we can save more lives.

Fostering isn’t just helpful… it’s urgent.

A couch, a quiet space, a few days of love—it can change everything for a dog who’s overwhelmed and still waiting for their forever home.

Be the reason one of them gets a second chance. 💙

We’ll provide everything you need—just open your home.

The trio you didn’t know you needed… until now!

Milo, Randy, and Otis came in together, and while their story started with a tough goodbye, it’s leading them to a forever home.

Milo: professional snoozer + gentle soul
 Randy: part time certified zoomer & part time cuddle buddy
 Otis: big softie who just wants to be close to you

Three different personalities… one shared goal: finding a home where they’re loved.

They’ve been through change together—now it’s time for their next chapter. Whether that’s together or separately, each of these boys is ready to be someone’s everything.💙

Apply to meet this trio in our link in bio.
