We’d like to broadcast some info about a legendary buddy who would be an “excellent” companion. And once you hear about him, your enthusiasm will never “Wayne.” Meet Garth!

Well, where in the World would you meet an endearing character like this? Try Furkids. Mr. Garth is a year-old mixed breed who is just a babelicious bundle of joy. Garth is happy. Really playful. Full of puppy energy and fun. “Party on!” is truly his mantra…

Garth loves his dog buddies and his people. Because of his activity level, his best audience is older kids and teens: They will absolutely love his script! He is super smart, with a copious amount of brains. He’s learning new tricks all the time and already knows “sit”, “lay down” and “touch.” No wonder this wonder dog has won over so many Furkid friends.

If you’re looking for the embodiment of resilience, perseverance and sheer will, this ginger tabby is a must-see. Meet Rusty.

Talk about a story! This handsome, vibrant senior has quite a tale. (And a tail!) Rusty came to Furkids last December, as a long-time stray, in pretty rough shape. The weathered nine-year-old was a mere 7 pounds and had a host of health issues. But Mr. Rust shook off the dust! And thanks to his innate will-to-live and the skill of the Furkids Medical Team, he is now a happy, healthy 12-pounder and ready to rock n’ roll into his own furever home.
