Secret Crush Club

Many of our shelter pets' adoption fees have been paid by secret admirers. This lowers barriers to adoption and allows adopters to spoil them even more with all of the comfy beds and yummy treats they deserve.

If you find yourself falling in love with any of these Secret Crush Club members, you can find more information about each animal under the Adoptable Dogs and Adoptable Cats tabs. 

Interested in helping a shelter pet get the spotlight they deserve?

You can cover their adoption fee and remove a big hurdle for their gotcha day. Click here to learn more. Reach out to Communications and Campaign Manager, Brenna Lakeson, with any questions.
