Koda

Breed: Pitbull, American/ (Purebred)
Gender: Female
Age: Adult

Hello, my name is Koda! I am a young pit bull that hasn't had much guidance in life. My owner is now unable to take care of me so I'm hoping for a fresh start. An active owner with no kids under 10 who is interested in using positive training methods to help me learn some good behaviors such as not going potty inside, how to walk nicely on leash, and how to control my impulses. Lots of exercise and a trusting relationship with my new family will go a long way. All of the hard work will pay off when I become a beautiful, relaxed, loving companion. Please come down and meet me. I am around 11 months old and weigh 56 pounds.

Little Bear

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix
Gender: Female
Age: Adult

I am looking for a home to call my own. At only a little over 7 lbs, I am a petite lady who needs gentle treatment. Are you looking for a lap cat or a companion who faithfully sits by you on the sofa? I may be your girl. My preference in a new home would be as the only pet with adult humans or gentle older kids. However, another feline friend who is mellow might be a good match. I am about 9 years of age and have sadly been diagnosed with the beginning stages of renal failure. My condition can be relatively easy to treat so please ask the animal care staff for more about it! Everyone deserves a warm place to retire, don't you think?

ACE

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix
Gender: Female

Our Ace is a lovely tabby and white Shorthair who suddenly found herself without a home. At 13-years, all Ace wants is a warm house with laps to cuddle on and windows to gaze out from when she needs her me-time. Ace lived with other cats and small dogs, so with a respectful and slow introduction, we believe she can successfully live with some new 4-legged siblings. Ace does like to handled gently, and can get persnickety when stressed. Who doesn't, right? Yet the more she gets to know someone, the more and more loving she becomes. Would you like to give a mature lady the retirement she richly deserves? Ace is spayed and ready to go home with you today!

Drake

Breed: Pitbull, American/ (Purebred)
Gender: Male
Age: Adult

Hey guess what? I am another pit bull that is looking for a home. My name is Drake and a family found me on the street by myself. No one came looking for me so here I am. The family who found me stated that I was good with people, am not very good about riding in cars, need to refine my skills on not soiling inside the house, and did not get along with other dogs. My adopters should be dedicated to keeping the community animals and myself out of trouble so they are asking that my new family have no other pets and use positive training methods to teach me some obedience skills. Are you the one for me? Please come down to the shelter and meet me.

Hello there! My name is Lavender and I'm looking for a new home. I originally came to the shelter a few months ago with my two newborn kittens.

Ace The Man (OHS)

Breed: Domestic Longhair/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Adult

My name is Ace The Man, cause I am the man!!! I am a super social guy that loves attention. As you can see I am in need of a good exercise and diet plan though. At this size it is very difficult for me to clean and groom myself and although my "waddle" is cute, it is very unhealthy for me. My new adopters will need to keep me active with toys or other interactive activities. I am so worth your every effort! I am about 6 years old and weigh 17.5 pounds. Please come down to the shelter and meet me today!

Bogie

Breed: Miniature Shelter Dog, American
Gender: Male
Age: Young

My name is Bogie because like a UFO the shelter doesn't know much about me. I am a cute little guy at only about 6 pounds and 2 years old. Because I'm so small and unsure of myself, the shelter recommends a home where children are at least ten years old and respectful of my need for space and time to adjust. I do like treats so the way to my heart is thru my tummy and once you win my trust, I'll be your snuggle bug.
