June is Adopt-A-Shelter Cat month and it's our mission to help felines everywhere find a place to call home. Today, we'd like you to meet Jules, a 4-year-old white and orange male who has really come into his own since being rescued by the Brother Wolf Animal Rescue of Asheville, N.C.
Earlier this year, Jules was found running around an apartment complex, alone and afraid. The rescue group took him in and placed him with a foster family, with the hope that he'd learn to open up.

With four kids at home, Dancing with the Stars host Brooke Burke-Charvet has a full household. But if you ask her, it's really run by her other two little ones: cats Tazzy and Willow.
"They kind of rule the house," she tells PEOPLE of her pets, whom she rescued four years ago. "They love to lounge outside in the backyard. They love to eat. They love to hang on the couch with the kids. They kind of do whatever the heck they want to do in the house, to tell you the truth."
Though she originally intended to only bring home one cat, the star says she was swayed after meeting the pair of felines – to her children's delight.

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to extraordinary adoptable pets every week. Today, we'd like you to meet Beau, a spirited beagle who'd make a great addition to any family.
This adorable pup was just 2 months old when he was found wandering the streets with his mom. The All About Rescue and Fixin Inc. (AARF) of Cookeville, Tenn., took the pair in, fattened them up and got them ready for a forever home – now Beau is a healthy 25 lbs.!

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to extraordinary adoptable pets every week. Meet Little Callie, an elderly feline who is best described as a clotheshorse – yep, you read that right.
This very sweet lap cat with mild food allergies "has her own wardrobe," says adoption manager Kristi Littrell of the Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah. "The clothes keep her from scratching herself."

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to extraordinary adoptable pets every week. Say hello to Oreo, Sunshine and Stripes – three adorable 8-week-old kittens who love causing trouble.
It's kitten season, so sweet faces like these are a dime a dozen at shelters across the country. Oreo, a black-and-white male, Sunshine, an orange female, and Stripes, a tabby male, recently came in as strays to the SPCA of Westchester in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., and have been causing quite the fuzz – er, fuss – ever since.

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to an extraordinary adoptable pet every week. Meet Tonto, a Pomeranian who was dumped at a local animal shelter because he couldn't see very well.
When Tonto's previous owners realized he was having trouble seeing, they took the dog to a rural animal control and said "they didn't want to deal with a special needs dog," says Laurie Johnson, director of the Florida Little Dog Rescue. "So they just discarded him."
The 6-year-old pup was matted, his teeth were severely neglected and he needed to be neutered. After an evaluation, vets discovered that he had some vision, but that he stood to lose it in the future because of juvenile cataracts.

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to an extraordinary adoptable pet every week. Meet Jude, a Yorkshire terrier rescued from a puppy mill at age 9.
For almost a decade, Jude produced puppies for a breeder at an Ohio puppy mill. When she came to the Joyful Rescues animal rescue of Cuba, N.Y., last fall, she was quiet and didn't want to be touched.
