Monarch did not appreciate being in the shelter with other animals and the stress was making it difficult for potential adopters to get to know her.

Meet Mugs. His thread wound through our doors and into our hearts. Found as a stray in May 2024, reunited with his owner, then surrendered back to us when circumstances changed. For nearly a year, Mugs waited. Our staff fell in love with his gentle spirit, and he became a shelter favorite. But Mugs needed more than our love. He needed a home to call his own. This April, his thread finally led him to a family who adores him. They tell us he's thriving, a cherished member of their household at last.
