Ready to mend a broken heart? Meet our Lonely Hearts members below.
Lonely Hearts Club.
Like many animal shelters, Pintler Pets has longer-term residents that have been patiently waiting for a family and a home for far too long. These lonely hearts have so much love to give and are waiting to meet you!
January 1, 2024 Update: All adoption fees for Lonely Hearts dogs and cats have been generously paid for by a wonderful donor!
*All of our pets are microchipped, vaccinated (age and species based), dewormed and spayed/neutered before adoption.
Please be sure to read our adoption FAQs and familiarize yourself with our adoption process before applying.
Lucky
Male, 3 Y/O, Lab/Bull Terrier Mix
Resident since: January 2023
Good in a home with: No other animals
Lucky is a whirlwind of boundless energy that is navigating shelter life with a heart full of confusion. He is a bit lost, a bit unsure, but undeniably hopeful. While Lucky is quite energetic and loud in his kennel (likely due to the stresses of the shelter life), he is a sweet and affectionate boy that would make the perfect companion for someone with a heart big enough to embrace his vivacity. He walks very well on a leash and looks for reassurance and instruction. He is a very smart boy and knows how to sit and lay down and is ever so gentle when taking treats.
He may need a little more patience and understanding, but in return, he promises a love that is as boundless as his energy.
Nova
Female, Adult, Lab/Pit Mix
Resident since: January 2023
Good in a home with: Dogs, Older Children
What a girl! Talk about joie de vivre! This girl always has a smile on her face! She might fancy herself the town crier as she climbs up to the top of her lean-to shed so she can see all that goes on. She loves food as is evidenced by her weight gain. She is very sweet and could make an excellent family pet with older children. Please, please adopt her and get her on the path to a healthier weight.
She came to Pintler Pets as a stray found in Anaconda and was transferred to Pintler Pets by animal control 01/25/2023. She is spayed, but has had puppies in the past.

Baby (Male)
Resident since: March 2023
Prefers a home without: ChildrenBaby was an owner surrender because of a move. Baby is a large cat who loves snacks and his toys. His rather ample girth is not up for discussion, says Baby! He is self sufficient but likes to be social on his own terms

Soxxx (Male)
Resident since: April 2023
Soxxx is an 8-year old, 'regular cat' who is with us because of a family situation. He is pretty scared and uncertain of why he is in our shelter right now. He would be great as a couch potato and loves being treated like the special cat that he is.

Max (Male)
Resident since: October 2023
Max was an owner surrender on 10/04/2023. He is about 2 years and 9 months old. He tends to hide during the day. With time, he will hopefully get used to us. He may do best at being a 'working' cat as a barn or shop cat keeping the vermin population at bay.
