UPDATE: All have been adopted! It's a poodle party in our puppy room! Check out this adorable litter of poodle mixes that we just rescued! 🐩🤩 We rescued these curly cuties from an overcrowded animal control and they're loving their new digs here at Furkids, but they're ready to leave shelter life behind them in search of a family who will give them all the cuddles and kisses their hearts desire. We have a feeling these babies won't last long! They're currently almost three-months old. If you're interested in knowing more about our "D" litter, head over to furkids.org/dog-adoptions to read more and apply to adopt!

Twenty-five years ago today, from my kitchen window, I saw a homeless mother cat and her three kittens coming into my backyard. They climbed up the stairs to my porch and cuddled up together. I thought to myself, what can I do to help this little family and I called animal control. A man answered my call and took the time to share with me that if I brought them into the shelter, he would euthanize them. I remember how confused I felt at hearing this news. It seemed unfathomable to me that these beautiful animals would be euthanized simply because they were homeless due to the overpopulation and limited space the shelter was experiencing. I could not accept that these innocent creatures, who were healthy and simply without a home, had no other options. I made flyers and put them at my health club, shared with neighbors, etc. (this was before we had smartphones and social media :). I also volunteered at PetSmart caring for the cats at the adoption center. After several weeks, my rescue kitties were adopted. One kitten “Tortie” was returned, and I was thankful to have her once again. I adopted Tortie, and together we began a crusade to create a no-kill shelter – Furkids. For 25 years, Furkids has worked to solve the problem of animals being euthanized in shelters because of lack of space, or because they are sick, injured, or scared. Most of the animals in our care are rescued from kill shelters on their last day, while others are from owners who are unable or unwilling to care for them. We specifically target pets that other organizations pass over due to illness or injury. When other shelters must say no, Furkids finds a way to say “YES!” Today, we have more than 1,000 animals in our program. (Continued in the comments.)

Right now at Furkids, there are almost 100 senior kitties ready for a second chance at love. Many of these cats were loved for most of their lives before their circumstances changed and they ended up homeless. There's something truly special about giving a senior animal a second chance at a happily-ever-after, and there's so many reasons to love senior pets. 🧡 They're seasoned lovers, settled into their personalities, and are way too mature for all of the kitten antics. All they want is a warm bed, a spot near a window, and a family to love. Senior cats (8+) at Furkids have waived adoption fees 365 days a year to help them find homes faster. Our team would love to introduce you to our special seniors - you can learn more about them and apply to adopt at furkids.org/cat-adoptions.

Furkids has almost 100 puppies under 6 months old 🤯 As cute as these little ones are, we'd much rather see them head off to their forever families! We've got all kinds of breeds - the mutts (our favorites!), doodles, lab mixes, hounds, heelers, and everything in between! Our adoption team would love to help match you with the perfect pup for your lifestyle. 🐾 Check out all of our adoptable puppies and fill out an adoption survey at furkids.org/dog-adoptions!

Some singers need a mic. Sleepy just needs her lambchop 🎤🐑 Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the one and only, Sleepy! Every star has an origin story, and Sleepy's wasn't an easy one. A few months ago, someone found Sleepy wandering alone on their property - skin and bones, covered in fleas and ticks, clearly having fended for herself far longer than any dog should have to. And yet, none of that broke her spirit. Sleepy is still every bit as goofy and affectionate!. She walks beautifully on a leash, gets along great with other dogs, and has been nothing but sweet with children. She's playful, she's cuddly, and she just wants somewhere to belong. After everything Sleepy has survived, she deserves nothing less than a true, forever home, one where she's never left to fend for herself again. Sleepy is almost 7 years old and weighs about 30 pounds. To learn more about this silly girl, visit furkids.org/dog-adoptions!
