Looking for love? These hopeful hearts have been waiting for the right person to show up, sweep them off their paws, and make things official—forever.

These pets-to-be aren’t interested in settling. They’re holding out for compatibility, chemistry, and the kind of connection that feels easy once you find it. You know the kind—the one who understands your quirks, doesn’t mind your routines, and shows up every day with intention.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re skipping the roses and spotlighting real profiles with real personalities. No filters. No algorithms. Just honest bios from dogs and cats who know what they want and aren’t afraid to wait for it. They’re not asking for perfection. They’re asking for the right fit. The purrfect match. The love that sticks. Browse these profiles, then run (don’t walk) over to VOCAL to meet your potential match in person. And if “the one” isn’t on these pages just yet, VOCAL (Voices Of Change Animal League) has more waiting—plus meaningful ways to support those still holding out for love.
