If you’ve been thinking about growing your family by four legs and some whiskers, paws your scroll.

From Friday, May 10 through Wednesday, May 15, Nashville Humane Association is joining Bissell Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters campaign, which assists organizations in covering adoption fees. Adopters will pay a reduced rate of $25 for pets over six months of age.

To help you get started in your search for the perfect fit, we’ve rounded up a few dogs and cats available for adoption right now.

Ashley | Husky | One and half years | She is a bit shy at first but loves special treats.

Filbert | Terrier mix | One year | This active guy loves being outdoors and going on walks, but is all about cuddles and belly rubs, too.

Electric Daisy Carnival | Domestic shorthair | One year | You’ll fall in love with her tan and black patches.

Cleo | Domestic shorthair | Two years | Those striking green eyes are purrr-fect.
