Children, other dogs, cats
At Christmas time, holiday tinsel is one of the best ways to spruce up your home with some cheer and festivity; but wouldn’t it be great to have some of that same tinsel cheer for the whole year? I’m pretty sure that’s where I got the name, because that’s exactly what I do!
I think it’s pretty safe to say we all love the gifting aspect of the holiday season, and I am no exception. As you can see from the video, I love toys! Personally, my favorite aspect of every day, is quality time spent together. I am full of that “in front of the fireplace” warmth that is the highlight of the season…or really any season. Snuggling in the laps of all my friends, giving kisses, joy, and laughs every day of the year would be a dream come true!
While I can appreciate some kitty-time snuggles, I am much more apt to be in my person’s lap cuddling, but I am happy to share a home with a feline friend. I would be happiest in a home with older children that can handle my occasional puppy-like playstyle (that…and I can be a little vocal and pushy about my need for attention sometimes). I would love to have a doggy playmate, but I do need proper introductions with dogs, as I am dog selective. Being dog selective means that I have made several canine friends, but much like humans, I don’t care to be friends with every dog I meet. Any potential fur siblings will get the chance to meet me for a play date before I go home, to make sure we get along as well as ribbons and bows!
If you would like a little bit of every-day Christmas magic in your home, submit an adoption application, and I promise to decorate your heart and home with all my love!

Bogie is a 63 pound, 1 year old Staffy Mix with a big squeezable block head and the best, most cuddly presence. He is a very relaxing and kind gentleman with the best heart. We love him. Some things about Bogie: he snores like a freight train, he’s easy going and walks nicely on a leash, he’s very well behaved, AND his foster Mama describes him ‘as sweet as a cup of hot chocolate’. Precious. Bogie is house trained, and he does well with other dogs and humans of all ages. Bogie is neutered and up to date on shots. His adoption fee is $250.

Waldo was found wandering around a local cat colony. He was trapped, neutered and released back into the colony. He was rarely seen, but after a while, it was noticed he was limping. He was trapped again and was very shy but sweet! We took him to the vet and it was determined he had a fractured femur. Waldo had his surgery and is now all healed up and looking for his forever home!
