"UNCLE SAM" - Pit Bull Terrier mix
1-3 yrs Male approx 60 lbs.
I'm a big sweetie!
I wiggle all over with joy when greeting you.
I'm a happy, friendly boy who loves attention.
I appear to get along with other dogs and even cats.
I have a dark, chocolate-colored coat. But wait until you get me in the sunlight, then you'll see my brindle stripes.
I'm strong and could use some training to walk well on a leash.
I'm really not enjoying being in a kennel and hope to go home with my new family very soon.

"SAL"--Beagle mix
3-5 years Male 46 lbs.
I'm a friendly, good-natured guy.
I enjoy being outside. My favorite part was rolling around in the grass today.
I'm pretty independent and made the rounds in Hanover before ending up here.
The shelter staff now know how I ended up stray - I climb fences!

"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.

"CONAN"--Great Pyrenees *ON HOLD*
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 who is at the shelter too.

"BRADY" - Great Pyrenees *ON HOLD*
5-7 years Male 92 lbs
I'm a loving guy that gives great hugs.
I'll gently jump up and wrap my front legs around your shoulders.
I listen intently to you and try to do what you want me to.
I will make a great family pet, but I would not be good as a working dog.
I will go after goats and other animals instead of guarding them.
I may need a home where I'm the only dog. Definitely no cats in my new family.
If you're not familar with Great Pyrenees, please read up on their personality and traits.
This faq is a fun starting place http://www.igpr.org/about-great-pyrenees/breed-f-a-q/.
I've have had at least 3 owners previously.
I deserve a forever home this time with someone who is prepared for a Great Pyrenees in the family.
I'm microchipped, but it does not have a current registration.

"BAHIJ" -- Siamese
1-3 years Male
I'm a beautiful Siamese and I want a home where I rule.
I'm looking for a home with a high perch where I can lay and survey my kingdom.
I'll come to you for attention, but when I want to.
I love to play, but don't carry me around.
I don't like other cats, but will co-exist with them if they leave me alone.
I don't like dogs, period.
I'm called a Blue Point with my white and gray fur.

"CLEECLO"--Tuxedo (Black & White) Short-Hair
9-11 months Female
I'm a loving and quiet girl who adores people.
I'm one of the staffs' favorites.
I look forward to a home where I can curl up on the couch with you and snuggle.
I'm still a kitten so also very much enjoy playing.
At the shelter, you will find me quietly and patiently waiting in my cage for someone to notice me.
Ask to see me outside my cage and the real loving & playful me shines.

"SOLDIER"--White Short-Hair
3-5 years Male
I'm still getting used to this place, but I'm starting to warm up a bit. I really love to be petted. Once I really get comfortable, I'm going to need a bath since I was outside a while. My handsome white fur is a bit dirty.
I was found with Sailor and Airman.

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!

"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.
