“Here is my turtle Bip dressed up as Leonardo the ninja turtle! He’s a 6 year old painted turtle. He likes to spend his time basking and digging in the gravel for tasty tidbits! His favorite thing is getting shell scritches!”
— Vivian Stronghold, Health Science major
“This is Dobby. His favorite toy is his sock from when he was born. But he does also like his peanut butter filled pacifier.”
— Helene Metivier, Substance Use Counseling (SAC) student
“Her name is Gypsy. She loved carrots, and her favorite word was ‘Food.’ The shelter we adopted Gypsy from told us she might be a Norwegian Elkhound mix. Gypsy loved the winter! Her favorite thing to do was scoop up snow with her mouth while running. It was the cutest thing.”
— Wendy Joubert, Environmental Conservation major
“Meet Ember! She’s around seven months old now, and I adopted her in June 2024. She’s an Australian Cattle Dog mix, and her Embark DNA test revealed a whole bunch of breeds mixed with it, including husky, pit bull, boxer, Cocker Spaniel, and more! She’s a super happy and sweet girl who loves giving kisses, doing parkour, sniffing everything and, of course, testing my patience.”
— Elysian Alder, Professional Writing major, Editor-in-Chief
“This is Fish. He has morning zoomies every morning.”

“This is Rudy. She loves teddy bear cookies.”
— Jay Morris, Science major
“This is Angel, and he is about 8-10 years old. He loves to go outside and explore nature (loves to eat grass). He is a big cuddle bug (but only on HIS terms). He enjoys playing with his string toys and loves to go into boxes and half closed spaces (like my drawer). Fun fact about Angel is that he likes butter and occasionally likes whipped cream. Another fun fact about him is that if we don’t feed him at the right time, he will be near us wherever we go and will not stop meowing until he is fed. (He literally does this even after we fed him an hour ago?). Overall, he is such a good and special boy who loves his food and his cuddles.”
— Kaylee Guyotte
“This is my labradoodle, Harley! A fun fact about Harley is that he loves to lick people’s faces and no other spot.”
— Elijah LeBlanc, Cybersecurity Certificate student
“This is YumYum. She has no teeth, and she loves to scream. She is very smol. I love her.”
— Maiki Coggins, Art major
“This is Quill.”
— Vana Kingsley, Professional Writing major
“The mainecoon mix is Leo, our four month old rescue. He was found on the side of a wooded road in Austintown, Ohio at about 6 weeks old and came home with us not long after. He is playful and loves to play his hunting games on the iPad.
The Grey cat is Bella. Bella was rescued after almost going to a shelter at 10 years old. Three years later, and she has become the queen of the house. We were told she does not like people, kids or other animals but she seems to love them all with us. Her favorite time is to lay and watch first responder shows with her momma!”
— Ashley Wiseman, Allied Health major
“I introduce you to my fur babies, Salem and Luna. Salem is 3 yrs old, and Luna will be 4 yrs old on Halloween. They were both adopted from the MSPCA as kittens when our cat Boo passed away. Salem is a momma’s boy and has a habit of knowing exactly what to do to get what he wants. He’s very playful and enjoys paper bags and cardboard. Luna is a daddy’s girl but will stick around anyone who gives her treats or attention. She loves to cuddle and enjoys belly rubs. They are a huge part of our lives, and we wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. ”
— Valerie Perales, Allied Health and Art Major
Meet Loki. He is 3 years old and traveled to us all the way from Texas. Loki is a Mini Australian Shepherd that enjoys cuddling, belly rubs, and stealing the occasional food off someone’s plate. Loki is super-fast and loves to outrun his tiny human friends especially when they try to dress him up. His eyes are two different colors, and he has the softest ears. His favorite food is cheese and chicken. Loki can sit, lay down, and shake your hand. His bashful face is sure to earn him a snuggle.
— Jordan Chila, Editor-in-Chief
“This is Chicken Nugget Eloise. We call her Chicken or Chick. She loves to be warm and giving kisses. She takes up way too much room in a king-size bed.”
— Karissa Boulet, Nursing major
“This is my cat, Oreo. She is 3 years old, and she is playful, talkative and so sweet! I am very happy to have her as my emotional support cat. Oreo enjoys boxes more than anything.”
— Sabrina Alonso, Human Services major
“Check out Rosy the Clown! She even has her own circus!”
