Golden Retriever mix
Biscuit is a goofy, affectionate boy who loves belly rubs and long walks. He's great with kids and other dogs. His tail never stops wagging!
Domestic Shorthair — Tortoiseshell
Luna is a sweet, independent girl who loves window perches and soft blankets. She purrs loudly and enjoys gentle chin scratches.

Duke is a gentle giant with the soul of an old man. He walks slowly, naps often, and rewards every kind gesture with soulful eyes and a soft sigh.
Domestic Shorthair — Orange Tabby Kitten
Miso is a playful, energetic kitten who thinks everything is a toy. He loves chasing feather wands and will follow you from room to room.
Holland Lop — Rabbit
Clover is a sweet, calm bunny with adorable floppy ears. She loves being held and enjoys munching on fresh Timothy hay and leafy greens.

Rosie is smart, athletic, and eager to please. She'd thrive with an active family who enjoys hiking, fetch, and learning new tricks together.

Hear from families who found their perfect companion through Second Tail.
"We came in looking for a small dog and left with Biscuit. He transformed our home overnight. Our kids were hesitant at first, but now they can't sleep without him snuggled between them. He's not just a pet — he's family."
"After my wife passed, the house felt too quiet. The staff at Second Tail suggested Duke, a senior Lab mix. They were right — his calm presence has been exactly what I needed. We take slow walks together every morning. He saved me as much as I saved him."
"I adopted Luna as a solo apartment cat and six months later couldn't resist adding Miso the kitten. The staff helped me with a gradual introduction and now they're inseparable. Working from home with two cats purring around me is pure happiness."
