If you are looking for a pet, we hope you will visit Pets Without Parents shelter. Make certain you are looking for the right reasons and the right pet for your lifestyle. Consider such things as your children, travel, work hours, current pets, yard size, and finances. Some pets are better suited for certain people and vice versa. Our staff is always willing and ready to speak to you about the pets. The staff is rather small, so we all get to know each and every animal very well. We take the adoption process very seriously. Every adopted pet comes with the following package:
  • Spay/neuter
  • Vaccinations while at the shelter
  • Dewormer
  • General Veterinary Examination
  • Rabies Shot, if three+ months
  • Feline Leukemia/FIV test for all cats and kittens
  • Heartworm Test for all dogs six+ months
Picking the Perfect Pet:

Before visiting the shelter, we hope you and your family will consider which sort of pet is best for your lifestyle.  Remember:  adopting is a life-long commitment.  Visit the sites below for suggestions on picking the right pet:

Cats and Kitties for Adoption

(Dog/Puppies Below)

Kenya

(1.5 years/spayed female)

Visit Kenya at the Petco Lennox.  She's craving attention and would so very much appreciate your TLC.

 

Sidney

(10 months/spayed female)

 

Brooklyn

(3 months/spayed female)

 

 

India

1 year/ spayed female

India used to roam the streets with no one who would claim her.  Now that she's with us, she is enjoying the comforts of a warm bed and fresh food.  What she's not enjoying, however, is being cooped up in a cage.  This independent girl would love a big home to spend the rest of her life.

Charlotte

(6 months/spayed female)

 

Victor and Vinnie

(5 months/neutered males)

You might say these two are in love.  So often we meet people who are interested in adopting two cats.  These boys are obviously good candidates!

 

Aslan

(2 years/neutered male)

 

Beauty

(spayed female)

 

 

Addison

(1+ year/spayed female)

 

Bernadette

3 years/spayed female

Bernadette came to us over two years ago with her babies.  All of her babies have long been adopted, but Bernadette still waits.  She's earned the title, "Queen of the Condo," as she rules the roost in the cat condo. 

In order to give Bernadette more roaming space, we tried to let her stay at Complete Petmart - a local store who will host our cats.  Sadly, they asked us to take her back because she didn't like being held by all of the customers.  Can you really blame her, though? We just know there has to be someone out there who will understand her. 

Please give this sweet mama a chance. 

Scribbles

(1 year/neutered male)

 

 

Nala

(2 years/spayed female)

 

We are overflowing with kittens!

 

We have black, tabby, orange, Siamese, tuxedo, calico, ....

You name it, we have it!

Want a long haired kitty?  We have 'em!
How about a short haired kitty?

We have 'em, too!

Even our cats are shocked by how many felines live at the shelter!

Want one kitty?

Come to PWP!

Want a duo?
Come to PWP!

Ululani, Keilana and Kiana

(12 weeks/ spayed females)

These kitty-poos spent several weeks in foster care, which means they're extra friendly.  It also means they're extra sad now living in a cage.  Come by and adopt them!  Give them the good life.

Mittens, Boots, Blizzard, Winter (the mama)

 

Omar and Orlando

(8 weeks/neutered male)

Ophelia

(1 year/spayed female)

Ophelia is literally a sweet mama.  She and her two babies would love to get the heck out of their cage and lounge on a window sill.  We hope Ophelia doesn't have to live at the shelter for too long.

 

Vega

(3 years/spayed female)

Sonic

(3 months/spayed female)

Who can resist a terrific tabby?  Don't let Sonic grow up in a cage!!

 

Olive

(8 weeks/spayed female)

Joy

(1 year/spayed female)

Seth

(8 weeks/neutered male)

Lacey

(8 weeks/spayed female)

Mitzy

(2 years/spayed female)

One day, PWP received a phone call from a vet.  The vet told us a client took her cat to the clinic to have her euthanized.  Meet Mitzy.  According to the owner, Mitzy was mean.  The vet, however, saw much differently and told the owner Mitzy would go to a shelter to find a new home.  The vet also knew the family had a history of trying to euthanize their cats after only a few years.  There really are no words to explain such an absurdity.  So, fortunately, Mitzy found a guardian angel and now lives at PWP, awaiting her forever (and safe) home.

 

Lester

(8 weeks/neutered male)

Dogs and Puppies for Adoption

(Cats/Kitties above)

Natty

(2 years/pit mix/spayed female)

This is the sweet mama dog who has raised her adorable pups.  We worry that Natty will have to wait for a very long time to find a forever home and watch all of her babies leave.  She is a great mama - she loves to play with her babies and is quite gentle (wanna adopt mama and a pup???!!!)  Please come by to meet Natty.  She is an amazingly loving dog with a great spirit.  She would love to meet you.

 

 

The "Beer" litter

(12 weeks/neutered males)

Wow -as you can see, these babes are growing up before our eyes.  They came to us in their mama's womb (she's pictured to the side).  Now they're bouncing bundles of puppy love.  They are super, super sweet, well-socialized pups.  Don't believe the myths about pits!  Do some more research and see how many people are happy with their pits.  We're sure you'll fall in love if you'll just give them a chance.

 

 

The "J" Litter

(8 weeks/spayed female/neutered male)

These pups are part of a large litter - 7 total.  They love playing with each other, but will stop to receive some TLC from people.  It's no fun growing up in a cage.  They'd love to feel soft grass beneath their paws.  If you have the time and resources, as well as a big heart, adopt one of the J pups.

 

Rainbow

(8 weeks/Lhasa-poodle mix/spayed female)

Every day is a bad hair day for Rainbow, but it doesn't matter - it just seems to make her cuter.  Rainbow and several other pups and dogs at our shelter came from a backyard breeder.  Backyard breeders are similar to puppymills; they just operate on a smaller scale.  These breeders breed dogs, caring only for profit.  They don't care about the dogs' social, mental, emotional, or physical well-being.  Fortunately, this breeder was shut down.  The pups are a bit shy, but with time, they'll grow out of it.  Roughly 25 more dogs and pups are waiting to get into PWP, so come by and meet Rainbow, so we can help save more.

 

Dyson

(1 year/Lhasa-poodle mix/neutered male)

Poor Dyson also came from the backyard breeder. He lived for a year without love and affection.  At first he was a bit tentative around people, but once he realized we were just going to love him, he opened up.  Now he craves attention.  We've told him what a real home is like and he can't wait to experience one.

Hoover

(1 year/Lhasa-poodle mix/neutered male)

Okay - seriously - how can you resist that face?  Sure he has some food dribble on his chin, but who can blame him?  He lived in deplorable conditions prior to living at the shelter, and his diet was less than adequate.  He now thinks he's dining at a five-star restaurant.  Hoover was once a bit shy, but now he is blossoming from all the TLC.  Save a pet - adopt Hoover!
