Lewis

Breed: Lhasa Apso/ Purebred

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Hi there! My name is Lewis and I'm looking for a new home! I am a pretty social guy that loves people! I can get a little unsure of general handling, so I will need someone to go slow with me. I love food, so it shouldn't be hard to win me over. I already know how to sit and shake, so I have a great start. The shelter is recommending that children in the home be over the age of 10 years as sometimes I don't don't like to share. I hope you can look past that though and focus on my cuteness! I am about 4 years old and weigh 22 pounds. Please come and meet me today!

Peaches

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

My name is Peaches and I'm looking for a new home. Unfortunately my owner passed away and I have found myself here at the shelter looking for a loving family. I am a reserved lady that loves getting attention. I will show you my appreciation with my loud purrs. I have lived with dogs before, am litterbox trained, and am comfortable with men and women. I've never lived with kids, but should be just fine. I do have early signs of kidney disease and will need a family that can financially support this. I will most likely need a special diet with regular vet visits. If you would like to meet me, come on down! I am about 10 years old and weigh a plump 9.8 pounds.

Celeste

Breed: Pitbull American/ Purebred

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Hello, my name is Celeste!! Are you looking for a dog who likes to play fetch? Another awesome talent I have is curling myself up under the smallest blankets, who doesn't like to stay warm? I am looking for a special family without cats, or children under the age of 16. We are also asking that you understand dog body language and have a positive training method. I have lived with other dogs, am housetrained, and very affectionate with those I have built a trusting relationship with. One thing you should know is that I am slower to trust men and am very insecure about having my paws handled. The shelter staff have created a training plan for my new family to follow but it is highly recommended that we have a dog trainer work with us as well. I am around 4 years old and weigh 47 pounds

Sebastian

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Hello! My name is Sebastian and I am looking for a quiet home to relax in. I am a very shy guy that is pretty independent. My previous owners said that I will approach you for loves when I want them, but prefer to not have my people force their love on me. I will need a patient family that will give me plenty of time to adjust to my new home. I have lived with another cat, am litterbox trained, and have always lived indoors. As you can see I am recovering from a skin allergy and will need to be fed a special diet. My skin and coat should improve with time. So, if you are looking for a independent guy, please come and meet me today! I am about 8 years old and weigh 11 pounds.

Kim

Breed: Siberian Husky/ Mix

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Hello, my name is Kim! Have you noticed how beautiful I am? Although my shelter friends can't tell you much about my past experiences they can say that I was very insecure when I arrived here. With some time to adjust and lots of hand feeding, I have started to show a more social side of my personality. What I'm asking for now is a patient and quiet household without children under 12 that I can bond with. Another well matched dog friend perhaps? Because of my breed mix, I may not get along with cats or other small animals. Please ask about me! I am around 4 years old and weigh 56 pounds

Marley

Breed: Pitbull, American/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Young

Hello there! My name is Marley. I am one of those cute dogs that looks like a puppy still even though I am over 2 years old. When I came to the shelter I was covered in mange and looking quite sad. The shelter and my foster family have helped me get a great start. I am feeling much better now! I am already housetrained and crate trained. I love people and have a great level of energy where I don’t need a ton, just a little exercise daily. I love to learn new things and already know how to sit, stay and come. I am working on down still. I can chew a little still and need plenty of toys to prevent this. I also get really excited when meeting new dogs. If you have one, that’s ok they just need to know that I am still a puppy at heart. The shelter recommends that I go to a home with kids over 10 years old because I still play pretty rough with my mouth and we don’t want anyone to accidentally get hurt. I also think cats are here for me to chase. My foster mom says I need to go to a home without them because I would likely hurt one. If you think we may be a good fit, email the foster coordinator at [email protected] to set up a time to meet me.

Allie

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Allie here and at around 13 years old my brother Fitzwilliam and I are starting over. We for the most part got along splendidly, you know like most siblings we had our infrequent moments. Although we lived with small children we actively avoided them and would hiss our displeasure if the children ignored our request for peace. The shelter recommends a home with respectful children at least 10 years and older. Once I feel safe and comfortable I am a lover girl and enjoy cuddle time. Won't you make my New Year wishes come true and take me home?

Ginger Snap

Breed: Domestic Medium Hair/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Ginger Snap here, so nice to see you looking at me! I am a beautiful Torbie, that's a tabby and tortoiseshell combined. As my name indicates I am spicy! At around 5 years old I know what I like and what I don't. I prefer to approach you for cuddle time, winding myself around your legs is a signal that I am in the lap mood. Due to my discerning purrsonality the shelter requires I go to a home with older respectful children, say 10 years and Up. Take the time to say Hello I am sure you will fall in love.
