She’s about 15 years old and is a total doll! Here’s a little video of her waving bye-bye! She knows lots… Read more

Apparently, Kleenex boxes = fun kitten toys! Charlie is a fun-loving kitten who loves to explore (as evidenced by the picture above). He’s about 8 weeks old, but his owner has had him since he was teeny tiny–about 2 weeks old! She bottle-fed him until he could eat on his own, which is intense,… Read more

This all-white beauty is Bella, an 8-week old (when this photo was taken) West Highland White Terrier, or Westie.

This is Caesar, a 13-year old male Blue & Gold Macaw. Dr. Burcham performed a wellness exam on him earlier this week, because his new owner wants to make sure he’s healthy, especially since she has another blue & gold macaw at home. Other than some long, razor-sharp toenails, he looked to… Read more

Sometimes getting a good picture of all-black kittens can be a little tricky, but we aren’t letting that stop us from featuring Milo the kitten!

Despite slowing down some in her older age, she remains surprisingly healthy and active. Tai grew up with her sister (littermate), Chi, who passed away three years ago. We still… Read more

Boudreaux, or Boo as we liked to call him, couldn’t see and had trouble on our slippery floors, but he knew our boarding staff like a second family. “He was such a good boy,” says Sam Parrish, our Kennel Manager. “He couldn’t see, but he could sniff out a milkbone treat from probably 20 miles… Read more
