This handsome guy is Kevin! He can be super shy initially and takes a bit to warm up. He does much better once he gets used to his new environment. He's extremely sweet and enjoys being around people. Once he trusts someone, he will want to hang out anytime he's not bird-watching out a window, of course. He absolutely loves affection and makes air biscuits while standing when he gets back scratches. If talkative cats are your thing, then he's the guy for you! Kevin will loudly let you know when it is time to eat and will walk around yelling if he can't find someone to keep him company. He also loves having other cat friends to play with! However, he tends to bully cats that are afraid of him, so a more confident and playful cat would be best for him. He has also done great with kittens and they really help him come out of his shell. He has been with a foster for a while now and has made himself at home while waiting for someone patient to give him a chance and his forever home. ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Rebel: 80 Pounds of German Shepherd Chaos & Cuddles Rebel is a 6-year-old German Shepherd who apparently missed the memo that he’s supposed to be “middle aged.” This guy is operating on full puppy mode 24/7. Zoomies? Yes. Toy enthusiast? Absolutely. Professional car ride passenger with his head out the window like he pays taxes? You bet. His previous owner says he’s good with other dogs, but Rebel would still like to schedule a formal “sniff interview,” so dog tests are required. Think of it as canine Tinder, but with less ghosting. Cats? Potentially! Slow introductions are the key because Rebel believes everyone should immediately be his best friend, and not all cats appreciate 80 pounds of enthusiasm arriving at Mach 5. People? He loves them all — kids, adults, probably your weird uncle too. We’d want the whole family to come meet him so everyone can make sure the vibes are right.A few important Rebel facts: -Neutered-Microchipped-Up to date on vaccines-House trained-Crate trained-LOVES car rides-Loves playing outside-Has enough energy to power a small villageRebel’s dream home is with an active family ready for adventures, playtime, walks, and helping him channel his inner tornado into fun and appropriate activities. He’s basically a furry gym membership with ears. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, adventure buddy, and part-time comedian, Rebel is ready to report for duty. ... See MoreSee Less
