    Frankie Malloy is on a MISSION to find “RYDER, and NISSA a Forever Family”.

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Pawsome furiends!  Share far and wide to find our furry friends a new home – Love, Frankie Malloy

    Meet Nissa

    Nissa is a 7 years, 11 months old female Domestic Medium Hair/Mix cat who weighs 4 kilograms.

    Hi. I’m Nissa.

    Seven years of elegance, experience, and the purrfect amount of sass.

    I’m what you’d call a classic beauty – a calm, easy-going queen with just the right mix of independence and affection. I may not come with a dramatic backstory or a mysterious past, but what I do offer is consistency, love, and top-tier snuggle vibes.

    My hobbies? So glad you asked. I love gazing out windows like I’m pondering life’s great mysteries, and soaking up affection from my humans. Add some classical music in the background and a sprinkle of catnip? You’ve just created my personal paradise.

    According to my previous humans, I’m affectionate, vocal, independent, and a lap cat – which basically makes me the feline equivalent of a cozy night in with your favorite playlist and a warm blanket. I’ve also been described as sweet and gentle while here at GTHS.

    Temptations treats? Yes, please.

    Catnip? Don’t even get me started.

    And love from my people? Always.

    I’m pretty chill with other cats and dogs too – as long as we’re introduced properly and everyone minds their manners. Kids? Sure! Especially the respectful, cat-savvy ones. You know, the type who can read a room and a tail flick.

    So what do you say?

    Got a quiet corner, a little background Bach, and a lap that needs a cat? I could be your girl.

    My adoption fee is $185, which includes my spay, up-to-date vaccinations, parasite treatments, and an ID microchip to make sure I never get lost on the way to the treat jar.

    Come meet me at the GTHS between 12:00pm-4:00pm any day of the week! The wonderful Adoption Counsellors will be thrilled to introduce us. I’m ready to find my person… or family… or orchestra.

    Let’s make beautiful music together.

    Our resident chaos coordinator, “Frankie Malloy” is staging another animal-pocalypse, and this time it’s going down on a Tuesday (because why should weekends have all the fun?). Enjoy the video!!!

    Meet Ryder

    Ryder is a 1 year, 6 months old male Large Mixed Breed who weighs 31 kilograms.

    Hi, I’m Ryder – a 1.5-year-old handsome heartthrob with a whole lot of love to give and a whole lot of life to live. I’m hoping to find a home where I can be adored for who I am: a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate companion who thrives with structure, guidance, and love.

    Let’s talk about the important stuff first – I’m a looker (if I do say so myself) and I walk beautifully on leash with minimal pulling. I’m neutral to people, bikes, and cars, and I’ve even been doing well on structured pack walks with known dogs here at the shelter. But when it comes to unfamiliar dogs? I’ve got some big feelings. I can get frustrated on leash when other dogs get too close, and I’ve been known to bark, growl, or lunge. Once the dog passes, I’m back to my calm, cool self – but I’ll definitely need someone who can read my cues and keep things low-stress for me.

    I’ve lived with other dogs before and done well, but I’m a bit choosy with my canine companions and haven’t had any off-leash dog interactions since coming to the shelter. If there’s another dog in the home, we’d need a very slow, on-leash introduction, and I’d need space and time to feel safe.

    Cats? Nope. Not for me. My prey drive is high and I need a home without small animals.

    I’ve lived with children and I’m great with respectful kids who understand dog boundaries – I really enjoy being around people I trust.

    I’m looking for:

    -A quiet home (rural or low-dog-traffic suburban would be amazing)

    -A human who knows dog body language and has experience with leash reactivity

    -Someone who believes in positive reinforcement and is ready to keep helping me grow into my best self

    I’ve got so much potential – I just need the right person to help bring it out. If you’re patient, kind, and ready to fall in love, I’m ready too.

    My adoption fee is $400 and includes my spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormer and a microchip. If you want to learn more about me, please come visit the GTHS and speak with one of the amazing Adoption Counsellors! The GTHS is open for adoptions from 12pm-4:00pm, every single day of the week and they would be thrilled to introduce you to me! I can’t wait to meet you and am looking forward to starting my new life with my new family!

    Love,

    Ryder
