 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.

Astro & Jett

1 Y/O Males, Lab Mix

Resident since: February 2024
Good in a home with: Other dogs

Meet Jett and Astro, two sweet and curious souls, both searching for their forever homes. Despite their loving nature and excellent leash manners, they've sadly garnered little interest. With gentle demeanors and weighing in at about 35 pounds each, they are the perfect size for any family!

Astro

Jett

  • Baby (Male)

    Resident since: March 2023
    Prefers a home without: Children

    Baby 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.

  • Melva (Female)

    Resident since: October 2023

    Here it is a year later, and Melva is still with us. She is still a little bit of a scared-y cat but gets along with all the other cats in the kitten room. She is a calm, sweet soul who would do well in a shop or barn... or your house if you are patient!

  • Eva (Female)

    Resident since: November 2023

    Whitney is estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old and is a petite and lovely girl that can be a bit of a princess. She came in with two of her kittens who have been adopted out and is incredibly affectionate towards humans.
