Congratulations to our July 2025 Pet of the Month, Jack Henning!

“Woof—such an honor!” -Jack

Jack joined his forever family when he was just 5 months old, and he’s been living the good life ever since. His favorite things include playing in the water (especially when the hose is involved), squeaky toys, and burying Milk Bones all over the house like hidden treasures.

His best dog friend is Jesse, she was kind enough to let Jack come live at her house. But his absolute best friend is Meghan, age 6. She gives the best hugs and kisses, and Jack loves waking her up every morning for school. (That’s her in his first picture!)

Jack loves coming to TOAH for doggie day play, where he’s made lots of new friends, and we love having him here just as much!

P.S. He’s a big fan of pup cups from Jeremiah’s. 🍦

Congratulations to our May 2025 Pets of the Month, Lia & Apache Rabe!

Lia has been part of the family since 2018, after being rescued from an illegal breeding operation in Miami. She’s the queen of sass, rocking one blue eye and one brown eye thanks to her striking heterochromia. Lia lives for snacks but loves stirring up mischief even more—especially if it means keeping her sisters on their toes. If she’s giving you the stink eye, you’ll know it’s coming from the brown one. And just when she’s been freshly groomed and gleaming white? That’s her cue to go dig a hole in the backyard.

Apache joined the crew in 2022 and is just happy to be here! She’s curious about everything—passersby, lizards, squirrels—you name it. Her true passion, though? Kisses. If you’re petting her, expect her to twist herself into a pretzel just to sneak in a few thank-you licks on your hands, arms, or face. Apache is also the most vocal of the pack, “awoo-ing” her opinions all day long—especially when mealtime is near.

Together, they’re like Pinky and the Brain—if both were covered in floof and determined to take over your heart (and your furniture). Their newest sidekick is Bryn, a 6-year-old pit bull mix who might not shed like her sisters, but makes the perfect playmate in their ever-growing pack.

Congratulations to our March 2025 Pet of the Month, Theo Gerrity!

Meet Theo, our lovable, goofy, and always-cuddly Pet of the Month! Theo joined his family at just 9 months old, after a family member needed to find him a new home—but still wanted to stay in his life. At first, his new family wasn’t sure how their senior bulldog, Cleo, would handle a new sibling, but it didn’t take long for Theo to win her over!

Now, Theo is surrounded by love in a house full of two adults, three kids, and a whole crew of animal friends—including two cats, a leopard gecko, guinea pigs, and even peacocks! He’s rarely alone and thrives on companionship. One of his favorite things in the world? Doggy Day Play at TOAH! As soon as he sees his food being packed, he knows it’s playtime and gets super excited.

This month, Theo is turning 2 years old, and in his short life, he’s never met a human he doesn’t love. He brings endless joy, laughter, and snuggles to his family, and we’re so excited to celebrate him!

Congratulations to our February 2025 Pet of the Month, Loki Smith!

Loki is an 11.5 year old gentle, orange, chonky boy, who adopted his family when he was just a kitten, and has gone to TOAH his whole life!

He never learned to meow but will “meep” at you when he’s feeling chatty or when he demands your attention. Loki loves to put his paws in your shoes, will find any pocket or bag that has mesh to chew on, and can frequently be seen peeking around corners just to keep tabs on what’s going on.

He’s a professional biscuit maker, has never met a box he doesn’t like, and on very rare occasions gets so feisty with his toys that he’s known then as “Wolverbeans.”

Congratulations to our January 2025 Pet of the month, Nova Morris!

Born in 2016, Nova came into the world with a spark of stubbornness and a heart full of love. As a puppy, she was a whirlwind of energy, always ready to run, chase, and play ball. Those early days were filled with endless games,
occasional mischief, lots of training, and the undeniable charm of a Doberman who knew how to melt hearts.

Nova was such a high-strung and playful dog that we decided to add another Doberman puppy named Nash to our family in 2019, hoping she would have a forever playmate. Nova and Nash have become inseparable companions.
Their bond has been filled with tons of energy and playful antics. Over the years, Nova has blossomed into a playful, smart, and affectionate dog. While she still has her pushy moments reminding everyone that she is, in fact, the boss – Nova also has a way of making our days brighter! She is fiercely loyal  and lovable, and still carries the spirit of a puppy.

Nova has been under the loving and expert care of Dr. Fullenwider since she was a puppy, and her dedication has been a constant source of comfort throughout Nova’s life. Recently, Nova underwent surgery with a challenging
recovery. Thanks to all the staff at TOAH for the attentive care, she is fully recovered and back to playing with her little brother, Nash.

Congratulations to our November 2024 Pets of the month Tess and Maggie!

Tess and Maggie were nicknamed ‘Twisted Sisters’ by the TOAH staff for a reason. They LOVE to play and when they do, they play HARD!! Tess was made a member of our family in 2022 when she was 1 year old and Maggie joined us in 2023 when she was 1 year old. Both girls had a lot of trauma to overcome but with the help of our TOAH staff, they have thrived. Tess loves to snuggle and play with her toys. Maggie loves to investigate everything in the backyard. Both love chasing squirrels. But most of all they LOVE each other. We are so blessed to have them both in our lives.

Congratulation to our August 2024 Pet of the Month Michael Swiggett! 

My name is Michael Swiggett. I found my forever home in 2019 and have been the happiest cat ever since. Before finding my family, I lived in a house with lots of other cats, dogs, and even pigs. It was a big adjustment getting used to fewer animals. Now, I just have a dog who is like my brother. I enjoy spending time with my humans and dog brother. I do not like sitting in people’s laps but I show my affection in other ways. My favorite things to do are swatting rubber bands, helping my humans with puzzles, giving my dog brother baths, and napping, of course. I love getting up early and helping my humans wake up for the day. Even though I don’t get it, I love trying to convince people to feed me dairy. I love my family and feel really lucky to have found my forever family!
