o**Meet Chickadee, the Tiny Tornado with a Thunderous Purr!**

Chickadee may be small, but this tabby kitten packs enough energy to power a whole city. She lives for the thrill of the chase—whether it’s zooming across the living room at lightning speed, scaling the couch like it’s Mount Everest, or playing an intense game of "pounce the shadow." If it moves, Chickadee is on it. If it doesn’t, well, she’ll make it move.

But don’t be fooled by her endless playtime antics—Chickadee has a purr that could rival a jet engine. The moment she settles down (usually after a marathon of kitten gymnastics), she turns on that purr motor and it’s loud enough to make the walls vibrate. You’ll never have to wonder if she’s happy—it’s impossible to miss when she’s around!

After a long day of kitten mischief, Chickadee loves nothing more than curling up in your lap, her little tabby body all warm and snuggly. With that mighty purr shaking the room, she’ll make you feel like you’ve just won the kitten lottery. Sweet and playful, she’s the perfect mix of high-speed entertainment and cozy companionship.

If you’re ready for a kitten who plays like she’s training for the Kitty Olympics but can snuggle like a pro, Chickadee is your girl! Just be prepared for a purr that’ll put everyone to shame!

Meet Cruise! This handsome five-year-old guy is a silver/white parti standard poodle that weighs about 60 pounds.

He has spent his whole life in a breeding situation and last night he spent his first night sleeping in a house with his new foster family. He slept the night through on the floor on his foster mom's side of the bed.

For a guy that has not had a lot of attention, he is very calm, gentle, and sweet. He really likes all humans, and he has already determined the 10 year old human boy in his foster home will be his best friend.

He gets along with big dogs and small dogs and old dogs and puppies. He just wants a place of his very own. He is a sponge and wants to be wanted.

His potty training is coming along quickly and he is quiet in his crate.

This guy will make a wonderful family dog, Jeep dog, lake dog, exercise partner and he will be devoted to you forever.

Cruise's adoption fee is only $25!
