Christopher

Breed: Pitbull, American/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Young

I am a young man looking for a loving home. I find the shelter a little overwhelming but that doesn't hide the fact that I am sweet and social just a few minutes after we meet. The shelter always recommends that young dogs like myself continue their education with reward based training classes. I am a top notch fella and I hope you ask about me today! I am about 10 months of age and I weigh a growing 36 lbs.

Daniel

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

URGENT! We are looking for a special person or family for Daniel, a 2-year-old orange tabby with social issues. Daniel appears to be a feral cat - or close to. He is afraid of people and prefers to stay a respectful distance away from them. At this point we are looking for a home that either would like a working cat for organic pest control, or one that will be content to give a home to a cat they may never be able to cuddle. There is a chance Daniel will become friendlier with people he sees every day, but cats never come with guarantees! The shelter is happy to provide you with the tools to acclimate Daniel to your home, plus he is already neutered, up-to-date on shots, and microchipped. Daniel is in a quiet room at the shelter. Ask a staff member to show you!

Cody

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

Cody is a very handsome orange tabby in search of a mellow home to hang his hat. Cody is very playful, curious, friendly and affectionate. He likes to play fetch games, play with feather wands and mice, or chase a laser light. He likes to eat his food like a raccoon and likes to drink from faucets. This great guy needs an adult home - teens are okays - because when Cody gets too stressed or aroused he can become reactive, and that's no fun for anyone. The shelter will give his new family some great information on how to keep everyone happy and healthy! Cody is 7-years-old, neutered, and ready to go home today.
