Marissa's French Bulldog
This is Max. He is almost 4 years old! Max loves to sunbathe and cuddle, but most of all, he loves food. You can always catch him trying to steal food off the table or getting into trouble by knocking over the treat bag.
Whitney's Rabbits
Meet Grayson (top)! He is a sweet and loving rabbit who lives to sleep in the bed. When he becomes energized from his naps, Grayson loves showing out for his mother and his siblings by doing binkies. After he has tired himself out, he looks forward to eating his favorite snacks, which include bananas and timothy hay treats.
Meet Draco (left), a continental giant rabbit! He is a four-year-old rabbit who initially appears to be a bad boy, but once you get to know him, he’s just a big scaredy cat. Draco loves cuddles, especially with his teddy bear and his siblings.
Meet Chester (right), a Florida White Rabbi! He is a five-year-old rescue rabbit initially found roaming the streets of Gainesville. Since finding his forever home, Chester's favorite pastime is eating bananas, kale, and timothy hay treats. When not feasting, he will likely be found begging his mother for snacks or cuddling with his siblings.
Alyssa's Cats
Meet Tango (left). He is 4 years old and is a sweet, cuddly boy who loves getting as much catnip as possible. Tango enjoys looking out the window and playing with objects around the house that are not his toys. His best friend is Zorro.
Meet Zorro (right). He is 3 years old and full of energy! He is a great best friend to Tango but does try to steal his treats every now and again. Zorro loves taking long naps and demands attention and pets, especially at 3:00 am.
Siena's Dog
This is Pepper! He is a schnauzer-poodle mix. Pepper loves to play fight. He always acts tougher than he is, but no worries; he is all bark, no bite. Some of his favorite activities include swimming, going on car trips, sleeping, and, of course, barking. Finally, Pepper is great at begging for food with his puppy eyes.
Nelta's Cat
This is Prince and he’s 3 years old! He loves to play, and enjoys cuddles. His favorite things to do are sitting at the window and do some bird watching, or watching cat tv on YouTube.
