Bean came to Faithful Friends in July of 2021. He was found as a stray and brought to our shelter for care with the hopes of reuniting him with his family. Unfortunately, that was not the case and Bean has been under our care ever since. Bean has some problematic behaviors that inhibit his success in a traditional home environment - however, he has a home and job at Faithful Friends. Bean is in one of our dog condos, with indoor outdoor access, and when not there, his most likely spot is in our playgroup yard. Bean is our resident dog tester, who helps us assess the sociability of any dog who comes into our care. He can run, play, teach and avoid conflict when dogs are unsure about being friends. Bean has many staff friends who spend time with him, and after a long day in play group, he’s often snoozing away in his kennel, dreaming of his next playgroup session!

Dogs in sanctuary care at the shelter or long term foster care through Faithful Friends are provided with food, medical care and enrichment through their lifetime. Sponsoring a pet or becoming a foster family helps ensure that dogs who need extra support are able to still enjoy the comforts of a home, rather than a shelter kennel.

Dawn is a sweet, playful girl with a heart full of love and a gentle, joyful spirit. She is FeLV-positive (Feline Leukemia Virus), which means she’ll need a special home—but her diagnosis doesn’t stop her from living a happy, affectionate life or being an incredible companion.

FeLV is only contagious to other cats, not to people or dogs. Because of this, Dawn will need to be the only cat in her home or live with other FeLV-positive cats. The virus is spread through close, long-term contact between cats, so her future family will simply need to be mindful of her feline roommates.

But Dawn is so much more than her diagnosis. She loves people, enjoys playtime, and thrives on attention and companionship. She’s affectionate, engaging, and always ready to brighten someone’s day with her sweet personality.

Dawn is looking for a calm, caring home where she can be loved and cherished for the wonderful cat she is. With the right family, Dawn has so much love to give—and she’ll happily return it tenfold. 💕

Samantha came to Faithful Friends from a partner shelter in January 2023. At just 4 years old, she has spent much of her young life in a shelter environment, so our staff makes sure she receives plenty of love, attention, and enrichment every day.

Samantha is deaf, which can present some unique challenges in a shelter setting. Our dedicated trainers work with her to help her continue learning, build confidence, and practice positive behaviors. She also enjoys regular enrichment activities, playtime with her dog friends, and, of course, lots of snuggles from her favorite human caretakers!

Your $10 sponsorship helps provide special care, enrichment, and the everyday love and attention Samantha deserves while she waits for her next chapter. 💕

April may bring rain showers, but it also brings something else to our shelter—kittens! Kitten season is upon us, and with it comes an incredible influx of tiny paws, big personalities, and lots of hungry mouths to feed.

Traditionally running from March through October—and sometimes even longer—kitten season is the time of year when cats are more likely to mate and give birth. Longer days, warmer temperatures, and increased access to food all contribute to the seasonal increase in kitten births. A single cat can have multiple litters, which means the number of kittens needing help can add up quickly.

Each year, Faithful Friends expects to care for more than 300 kittens in need. Many of these little ones require foster care, formula, food, medical care, enrichment, and plenty of love while they grow strong and prepare for their forever homes.

We’ve already welcomed an influx of kittens into our care, and we need your help to keep up with the demand. Every donation helps provide the supplies and care these tiny lives need to get their best possible start.

Together, we can give every kitten a chance to grow, thrive, and find a loving home. 🐾

Meet our sweet girl Tessa, a 7-year-old pup with a heart full of love! Tessa has been waiting at the shelter since 2023, and she’s more than ready to find a forever home where she can finally soak up all the love and attention she deserves.

Tessa is an affectionate cuddlebug who absolutely adores her humans. She loves snuggling up on the couch, giving kisses, and simply being close to the people she loves. She’s looking for a home where she can be the only pet and enjoy having all the attention to herself.

Tessa does have some joint issues that require long-term pain management, but that doesn’t stop this sweet girl from enjoying life! She still has plenty of love, personality, and cuddles to share.

After spending so much time waiting, Tessa deserves a forever family of her own. Your support can help provide the ongoing care she needs while she waits for the loving home she’s been hoping for.
