Pet of the Week: gentle cat and affectionate dog ready for adoption

Meet Gumbo!

Gumbo is a gentle soul who is having a hard time adjusting to the busy shelter environment and often feels safest tucked away under his blankets. He’s a nervous cat who needs an adopter willing to offer patience, understanding, and a calm home where he can move at his own pace. With kindness and time, Gumbo has the potential to blossom into a loyal, trusting companion who just needs someone to show him the world can be safe again.

Meet Wonder!

Wonder is a 4-year-old dog whose name truly says it all. When he arrived at the shelter, he was in very bad shape—but thanks to time, care, and determination, Wonder has completely transformed. Through our Puppies for Parole program, he’s been busy healing his body, rebuilding his confidence, and learning important life skills like basic obedience and good manners. Now thriving, Wonder has a joyful outlook on life and greets each day with enthusiasm and curiosity. He’s done well with other dogs in the program and enjoys positive social time with canine friends. His resilience is inspiring, and his affectionate, eager-to-please personality shines through more each day. Wonder truly has a new lease on life, and he’s ready to share it with a family of his own. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger appreciation for second chances, Wonder may be the perfect match for you.
