Trust us – she’s even cuter in person! Muffin is an older pony mare who is looking for a companion-only home with her best friend Buggsy.
Muffin was a bit shy and avoidant of touch when we first met her, but she has fallen into a great rhythm with us and is now easy to halter in her stall, lead to her paddock, and catch for turn in. She is an easy keeper and seems quite hardy and healthy! Muffin does well living out 24/7 and stalling overnight with day time turn out. She is super flexible!
We wouldn’t go so far as to say she is a kid-safe pony yet, but it is possible she could get there with some time and patience. She has been straightforward for us to work with and hasn’t offered a bite, kick, or rear. She does require an experienced handler for vet care, but has also improved greatly for this type of handling in the time we’ve had her. She stands well for the farrier and tolerates grooming – we think she’ll enjoy it one day when she finds a family who will dote on her!
Hood and his brother Piglet Jr. are brother boars who are looking for a new home together. Hood is the bolder brother and loves to cuddle with humans and is known to be quiet the escape artist. Male guinea pigs benefit from a more spacious enclosure and two of everything to keep both boys happy.

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.
We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.
The needs of each parakeet are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the parakeet you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Kiki is a happy, goofy girl ready to find a home of her own! This hefty gal is a great mix of energetic and snuggly, she loves to play and then take a nice nap after all the excitement. Kiki is still learning manners and hasn’t quite realized how big she is yet. She is looking for a family who wants to practice some basic manners like keeping her feet on the floor! Kiki isn’t too sure about other dogs and would likely prefer to be the center of attention.

We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through.

Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Meet Max, the Lone Star State’s most enthusiastic foodie! This Texas tornado of energy is ready to spice up your life with his zest for treats and tail-wagging adventures.
Max’s mysterious past only adds to his charm – who knows what wild tales he has from the Lone Star State? But one thing’s for sure: this pup’s appetite for life is as big as the Texas sky. He loves food sooo much that he really prefers not to share so would do best in a home with older children only.
So, if you’re craving a sidekick who’s part food enthusiast, part dynamo, then Max is your mutt! Stop by the shelter during open hours to talk with our adoption staff about him today!
Gary is an adorable 3 year old Nigerian Dwarf wether. He is very shy, so would do best in a home with an experienced adopter who can handle him and help him warm up to people over time. He deserves a loving home where he can relax and learn that humans are his friends!
Goats are herd animals and need the company of other goats to be healthy and happy. We are looking for adopters who can take at least a pair of goats or have an existing herd at home that they’d like to expand. Interested adopters should have housing for their goats to include proper shelter from the elements and fencing to contain these notorious escape artists. As they say – if it can’t hold water, it can’t hold a goat!
All goats are up to date on their medical needs, but will need routine maintenance moving forward for things like hoof trims and yearly vaccines.
Interested in adding a hilarious and sweet group of goats to your home? Fill out an adoption form by clicking the “Inquire” button and a staff member will reach out to discuss!
Darren is a young boar who still has a lot to learn about the world. Humans are still a little scary for him so he is looking for a patient adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace and not put pressure on him to interact right away. Darren was housed with his brother Joe until they started bickering in the shelter. They will require a patient adopter with a good bonding plan and a spacious enclosure to help restore their brotherly bond after the shelter. If Darren does not go home with Joe, he is looking for a very submissive male to live with who won’t mind when he pushes them around.

Meet Albert aka Albie! He and his old pal Walter are the cutest little old ponies we’ve ever met.
Albert leads well and has settled nicely into his routine of turning out for the day and coming in to our cozy barn for the evening. He and Walter share a paddock, a stall, and their meals – they are best buds! Albie’s teeth are quite worn, so he requires a soaked diet, but he is at a healthy weight and seems to be a relatively easy keeper. He does require a little extra medical maintenance due to his advanced age, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 25+ year old distinguished gentleman. Albert is patient for vet and farrier care.
These two little pony geldings would love a quiet spot to retire together. They are both very friendly, curious, and gentle. And they love a good grooming session! We haven’t turned them out with any other horses given their age and specific diet, but they could easily share a fenceline with friends. If you have experience with older ponies, these two guys could be a great match for you!
Say Hey to Regina George! Regina is a sassy and playful Lionhead Rabbit who is ready for her new home! Regina George would do best with an experienced bunny owner, as she has a bit of spicyness to her.

The needs of each rabbit are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rabbit you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry!
