"KANE"--Pit Bull Terrier - NEUTERED
2 years Male 70 lbs.
I've got lots of joie de vivre...that means I'm a happy boy.
I'm a lap dog at heart and want love & attention.
I'm a smart boy and already know sit and shake.
I do need more training to learn how to walk nicely on leash, especially since I'm a strong guy.
I'm good with kids.
I must meet any other dogs that will be in my family.
**I'm NEUTERED and up-to-date on vaccinations.**

"TRUDY" -- Mountain Cur Mix
1 year Female 41 lbs.
I'm a sweet, personable girl who loves people.
I will be a great companion for someone looking for a best friend.
I'll enjoy having fun and being active outside once I'm used to my surroundings.
When I was outside the shelter today, I was a bit skittish at the gun fire from the nearby gun range and at the loud trucks going down the street. So, I may need to be introduced slowly to your neighborhood's noises.
I do have a hound bark (uhm, bay) so make sure the neighbors don't mind.
I like to guard my food so it doesn't get taken.
I will need to be kept away from children and other pets when I eat.
I would like to meet your other dogs before you take me home.
I will need a home without cats or other small animals.

"ROSIE" -- Shar Pei mix - SPECIAL NEEDS
8 years Female 72 lbs.
I'm a beautiful lady looking for reassurance and love.
I'm a gentle gal with a calm demeanor.
I'm very easy to handle as I'm well-trained.
I walk well on leash and follow your lead.
I'll be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving and easy-going friend.
I'm friendly with everyone including cats and other dogs.
I'm 8-years-old and am considered SPECIAL NEEDS because I've had two seizures while at the shelter.
I'm hoping a family will see beyond my age and my potential medical problem to all the love and companionship I will give.
The vet said my seizures could be a one-time thing and that I don't need diagnostic tests and medication yet.
But it will be best to check in with your vet and discuss how to monitor me.
I also have an angel willing to help with my medical care if it is needed.

"CONAN"--Great Pyrenees
1-3 years Male 72 lbs
I'm really scared here and lean against you for reassurance.
I seem to be a sweet dog that looks to people.
I'm not suitable for livestock guarding as I've attacked goats and cats.
I may need to be an only dog in the family too.
Animal Control has been trying to catch me for awhile.
I was first seen with Brady, another Great Pyrenees that was at the shelter a few days ago.

"BRADY" - Great Pyrenees
5-7 years Male 92 lbs
I'm a loving guy that gives great hugs.
I listen intently to you and try to do what you want me to.
I'm microchipped, but it's not registered to my current owner.
I may need a home where I'm an only pet.
I would not be good as a working dog as I don't herd...I will go after goats and other animals.

"BETTY" -- Beagle Mix
5-7 years Female 38 lbs.
Do you know where I belong?

"CLEECLO"--Tuxedo (Black & White) Short-Hair
9-11 months Female
I'm a bit shy since it's my first full day at the shelter.
Though, you can tell by the way I peek at you that I'm a friendly kitty.
*Update-I'm breaking out of my shell and have found that I just love people! I like a good ear & chin scratch.

"ZENA" - Short-hair Calico
2-3 yrs Female
Look at my pretty fur and the unique markings on my coat.
I'm such a beautiful kitty and I like to be admired.
I will come to you and put my head against you when I’m ready for affection.
I’m a sweet girl with lots of love to give my new humans.
I’m an independent gal that likes to do things on my own.
When I don’t feel like being loved on, you'll know because I’ll tense up.
I'll need someone willing to understand this and have patience until I learn that everything will be okay.
My ideal home would be a quiet place to call my own with people to love me when I ask.

HELP OUR MEDICAL FUND:
Donate Steel and Aluminum Cans
Not only can you donate aluminum cans for recycling, you can now DONATE STEEL CANS too!
All we ask is that you rinse out the steel cans really well (we don't want to encourage not-so-adoptable critters to hang out around the shelter) and place them in a separate bag from the aluminum cans.
Drop both types of cans (remember, in separate bags) in the large labeled bin that is on the east side of the shelter - that's to your left when facing the shelter's front door.
Thanks for helping with our four-legged friends' medical needs!

"GENGHIS CAT"--Brown Tabby Short-Hair - NOT AVAILABLE
3-5 years Male
I have a beautiful, golden-brown coat. Isn't it lovely?
I'm not a happy camper right now and need a few days to adjust so I can be ready for interaction with people.
I'm more of an independent guy and not too sociable.
I would more than likely be much happier in a nice, cozy barn than in a house.
Noises and people make me nervous, but I'd probably be great at catching mice!

"NIKKO"
NOT available for adoption
You'll find me literally hanging out in the front lobby or in the shelter director's office (I'm her kitty).
I have a silly personality and you'll find me about anywhere.
Sometimes I'll be taking a nap on the floor and you'll have to step around me.
Sometimes I'll be visiting with the other cats & kittens....usually playing with them through the top of their cages.
And sometimes I'll be "helping" at the desk.

"BU"
IN MEMORY
"BU", our shelter cat, went across the rainbow bridge Monday May 22 from cancer.
Bu greeted visitors with love and playfulness, helped at the front desk with paperwork,
let the incoming pets know it was going to be okay, and tested the dogs for cat-friendliness.
But most of all Bu was friend, family & coworker to shelter employees and volunteers.
Bu is short for Shinobu which means to endure.
He will be missed and will endure in our hearts!
Bu was 17 years old.
