AROOOOOOO! I mean... hello! It's me, Vali! 🐺🎃
The rumors are true. I am part... WEREWOLF. Cue thunder and lightning
Okay, fine, I'm actually a mixed breed, but for Halloween? I'm absolutely leaning into the legend.
It goes a little something like this:
Inga: "Werewolf!"
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Werewolf?"
Igor: "There."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "What?"
Igor: "There, wolf. There, castle."
And I AM there — wolf. Right here. Waiting in my castle (okay, kennel) for YOU.
I'm a 3-year-old girl, found as a stray and never claimed. No one came to get this werewolf, so now I'm howling for a real forever home.
And unlike those movie monsters, I am super sweet, well-behaved, and drama-free. No midnight transformations, no chasing villagers, I promise. Just 100% good girl energy.
I'm social, playful, and friendly to everyone I meet. Because I was a stray, the nice people here don't know yet how I'd be with other pets or small kiddos — but I have a feeling I'll be a howling good time once I settle in.
So, do you have a castle I can guard? A couch I can haunt? A family who loves Halloween as much as I do?

Come meet your favorite werewolf.

Awooooo-love,

Vali 🖤🐾

Hark. It is I. Salty Bean. 👑🐾
Yes, I'm 8 weeks old. Yes, I'm female. Yes, I'm the size of a baked potato. No, that does not make me any less powerful.
I am friendly, sweet, and ready to POUNCE my way into your heart — whether you invited me or not.
I might be tiny, but I am A LOT. Like, personality-wise? I'm a 10-foot-tall drama queen trapped in a teacup. I will demand your attention. You MUST heed my beck and call. When I meow, you appear. When I stare, you pet. Those are the rules. I didn't make them. Okay, I did.
When I'm not busy being demanding and running my empire, I might find a nook I deem worthy for a nap. Where? That's my business, so mind yours. Could be your sock drawer. Could be your face. Mind. Your. Business.
What I DO adore — when I allow it — is pets, cuddles, and being lavished with toys and treats like the tiny queen I am. Worship is encouraged.
I hope to see you soon and deem you worthy of my love. No pressure, but... impress me.

Kisses, bites, and royal demands,

Salty Bean 🫘✨

Why hello there, I've been expecting you. I'm Vera and I know you are dying to know all about me. 💅🐾
Well, darlings, let me tell you — I am 6 months old, Very (with a capital V, like my name) energetic, and absolutely obsessed with pets and ear rubs. Like, obsessed. You start rubbing my ears and I will be yours forever. That's the deal.
The nice people here say I'm a sweetheart. Very sweet, very affectionate, very playful. They say it a lot, so it must be true. I like to prance, I like to pounce, I like to play with every toy like it's my job, and then I like to curl up and be adored.
I'm looking for a loving family who will give me love, time, and kindness while I adjust to my new surroundings. New places can be a little big and a little scary for a little girl like me, but with some patience and some ear rubs, I'll be running the house in no time.
So, now that you know all about me... when do I get to know all about you?

XOXO,

Vera 💖

My name is Daniel Tiger hear me roar..... meow. 🐯
Okay, maybe it was more of a squeaky meow than a roar, but I'm WORKING on it!
I am Daniel Tiger, 8 weeks old, sleek, stealthy, and a fearsome little whippersnapper. You should see me stalk... a shoelace. Pounce... on a crinkle ball. Vanish... into a laundry basket. The wilderness has never seen a tiger so mighty!
I am looking for a brave family to tame my WILD heart. Are you brave enough? (Spoiler: I'm not actually that wild.)
I'm super playful, super adventurous, and should be feared by many... I kid, I'm really just a little mush who melts for cuddles and pets. One chin scratch and my fearsome roar turns into a purr motor that won't quit.
I hope to find a family who will love and cherish me and help me explore my wild side — the wild side of the couch, the wild side of the kitchen, the wild side of the bathtub at 3am.
Will you be my family? Will you be my jungle?
Grrr... I mean... mew?

Love and tiny roars,

Daniel Tiger 🐾💛

**ADOPTED**
HI! HELLO! IT'S ME! ARCHER! 🏹🐶
Did you hear that? Someone said "walk"? Someone said "toy"? Someone said "good boy"? THAT'S ME! I'm Archer!
I'm 7 months old, 100% good boy, feisty, playful, and professionally cute. My hobbies include: TOYS (all of them, yours, mine, ours), CUDDLES (the longer the better), PLAYTIME (zoomies included at no extra charge), and being pampered and fawned over like the prince I am.
That's right, I love being spoiled. Tell me I'm handsome. Give me belly rubs. Throw my toy 500 times. I will never get tired of being your favorite.
I'm looking for a home where I get ALL the love and attention I deserve — and trust me, I deserve a LOT. I want to be right there with you, whether we're playing in the yard or cuddled up on the couch. I'm your adventure buddy AND your couch potato. Best of both worlds!
The humans here aren't sure how I'd do with other pets or small kiddos yet — I haven't met many. I'm still a puppy figuring out the world!
So... do you have toys? Do you have cuddles? Do you have a spot on your couch with my name on it? Because I got a whole lot of love with your name on it.
Let's play!

Love, kisses, and tail wags,

Archer 💙

Yo, what up? It's 50 Cents in the house. 💰🐾
Yeah, you read that right — 50 CENTS. I'm not a dollar, I'm not a quarter, I'm the whole vibe for less. Handsome, playful, and 100% certified fresh. And I'm only 2 years old, so I got a lot of hits left in me.
Look, I know you've seen me through the kennel window. But let me tell you somethin' straight from the heart — don't be a "Window Shopper." Don't just look and keep walkin'. Come in. Meet me. Adopt me. In Da Club, it's gonna be you and me.
I do things on my own terms, you feel me? I'm not a clingy dude. I play when I wanna play, I lounge when I wanna lounge, I strut when I wanna strut. But when I choose you? Oh, you KNOW you been chosen.
What I'm looking for is a real one. A loving home with a family who's gonna give me time, love, and kindness while I adjust to new surroundings. New places can be a little scary, even for a cool cat like me. Let me get my paws under me and I'll show you what I'm really made of.
So what you say? Stop window shoppin' and come get this handsome hustler.

Your boy,
50 Cents 🖤
P.S. — I go hard for wand toys.

***Adopted earlier today!!!***

Photo on the left is current, photo on the right is what he looked like before 😢...

Meet Miles Aka Ducky whom is FIV Positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), he is looking for a Forever home to recuperate. He needs lots of TLC, love, and patience. After being adopted, he found his way back to us as a stray. He was a hot mess with fleas, lots of hair loss, then wound up with URI.. 😔 All have been taken care of now though, minus the hair growth, he’s still working on that! Since he has been brought back to health he is still full of love and ready to find a permanent loving home ❤️

CARLITA 💛🐶✨
3 years old | Female | 48 lbs of WIGGLES
Hi, I'm Carlita!
Carlita was found as a stray and never claimed by an owner.
Yeah, that's my story. I was out there on my own, doing the stray thing, trying to figure it all out by myself. No collar, no microchip, no one came looking for me. But guess what? That's old news. I'm here now, safe at the Oakland County Animal Shelter, and I'm ready for my NEXT chapter — the one where I get a real family.
I am 48 lbs of pure fun! Friendly? Check. If you're a human, I already love you. Playful? Oh my gosh, YES. I love to play. I love toys, I love zoomies, I love wiggling my whole body because my tail wags so hard it moves the rest of me. Full of energy? I AM ENERGY. I'm 3 years old, so I'm past the puppy chewing-your-shoes stage, but I'm right in my prime! I want to go for walks, go to the park, play fetch, go on adventures, and then flop on the couch with you after.
She would probably benefit from learning a few basic skills, but she is eager to learn as long as some peanut butter is involved.
Come visit with me today!
