From Simba's current caretaker:

I know my photo makes me look a little dazed and confused. It's true. I'm so confused about why I ended up in a shelter in South Carolina, yet very grateful I have this chance. I overheard the humans here talking about me, and they say I am sooo sweet! I promise to touch your life with sweetness if you have time to teach me about love.

Rose's current caretakers say:

 I'm as sweet as friendly as can be. But that didn't stop someone from tying me to a dumpster. I was rescued, and a PAWS volunteer loved me so much she agreed to foster me. I'm the perfect combination of calm yet playful, she says. I make her laugh when I throw my toys up in the air. It's so lovely at her house, but I want a forever home. Can you help me? I'll be waiting to meet you.
