Handsome Hans isn't just handsome, he's smart and friendly, too! He came from an overcrowded shelter in the south a few years ago and was adopted into a loving family. Sadly, a member of the family became ill and they were no longer able to care for Hans, despite loving him dearly. And he loves people, too — he wants to say hi to everyone he meets here and loves getting attention! He's looking for a home where he can be your one-and-only, because after all he's been through, he deserves it.
If you are interested in adopting Mia, please contact the Father Johns Animal House in Lafayette, New Jersey. Those interested can email the shelter at info@fatherjohns.org. The shelter can also be reached at (973) 300-5909.
Koda is a timid pup who was rescued from a shelter in Tennessee in August of 2022. Unfortunately, North Shore Animal League America is the only home that Koda has ever known, having spent most of her life there. Koda’s ideal home would be in a quiet neighborhood with experienced owners and children 12+ who can respect her shy nature. Koda loves running around our dog park, enjoying yummy treats, and belly rubs from her favorite humans.
Loosey Goosey came to North Shore Animal League America in April 2024 after losing the only home she’s ever known due to her previous family moving away without her. Loosey Goosey loves her human friends – however, she does not love other cats. She truly blossomed in a quiet space that’s all hers. Loosey Goosey’s ideal home would be with an experienced adopter with children 8+ where she can be the queen of the castle as your only furry friend!
"Princess was a mother of four little nuggets when we took her in. In fact, she was such a good momma cat that she also nursed a couple of orphans as well. Unfortunately, she had Feline Luxating Patella, a condition that required surgery and extensive medical care. We had it performed so she could walk more normally and without pain. Now she is ready for adoption! She is very loving and will make a great forever pet for someone," - Rock n' Rescue in Bedford Hill, New York.

Sundance was adopted as a puppy and returned because the owner had health issues. This has been so hard and confusing on her! She is only 5 years old and approximately 47 lbs. She can be a little shy but she's longing for a quiet home to call her own. She'd love to lounge with you and read a book or help you in the garden. Consider giving Sundance a home to call her own. Adopt her at Kent Animal Shelter by contacting (631) 727-5731 or INDO@KentAnimalShelter.com.
