"DARRIN"--American Pit Bull Terrier mix
2-3 years Male 43 lbs.
I'm a playful boy with lots of energy. I am very treat motivated and will sit nicely for one. If you give me lots of exercise and play time, I will learn fast and want to please you. Slowly introduce me to other animals in your household. I appear to not like cats currently, but I am slowly learning they will not hurt me

"DAGHNER" - Dachshund mix
10 + yrs Male 25 lbs
I'm an older boy and the shelter environment makes me nervous. Once I'm out of the kennels and into the adoption room, though, I start to relax. I love to get attention, but I'm also content to watch what's going on around me.
I seem to get along with cats...I am interested, but I won't really bother them when they are in the room with me.

"AMELIA" - Calico Short-Hair - SPAYED
5-7 yrs Female
I'm a lap cat, so adopt me and we'll keep each other warm this winter.
We can nuzzle our faces against each other too. I enjoy that.
I'm a delightful lady who would really love a home to lounge around in.
I appear to have had a home once and would love to have one again.
You might find me lounging in the shelter lobby as I do not like being in my cage.
If you do find me in my cage, I might come off as moody until my cage door opens.
I appear to be spayed, but a vet needs to verify that.
So, you'll still prepay for my spay. If the doctor says I am spayed, you will receive your money back.
I'm not fond of being carried, so I'm probably not used to being around young children.
I'm not fond of dogs either. I will hiss or run away.
I would be okay with dogs that would leave me alone or if I have my own space where they can't follow me.
Come in and visit me and you'll find out why I'm a favorite of one of the volunteers.
You'll probably find me in the shelter director's office. I've decided that I like to help her with paperwork.

"EDWARD"--Orange Tabby & White Short-Hair KITTEN - IN FOSTER CARE
14 weeks Male
Jacob & I are in foster care. Please contact the shelter to make an appointment to meet us.
I may look like a quiet kitty in my photo, but I'm part of a playful pair of KITTENS.
My brother, Jacob, and I would love to be adopted into a home together.
You won't regret adopting both of us because we're a hoot.
We're really playful and will include you in our games.
We're named after Edward and Jacob in the Twilight series.
There are times when we're jumping around that you would think we have supernatural powers.
If you don't know about Twilight, we would love to cuddle on your couch and catch a Twilight Marathon with you.
I'm an orange Tabby with white and Jacob is a Tuxedo cat. We're 5-months-old.
We are both POLYDACTYLS. I wonder if that's why we're so springy.

"DOC" - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Male
I'm the new King of the Shelter. You will find me roaming the lobby and helping to welcome people and pets to our shelter.
Sometimes you'll find me snoozing in my cozy bed on the counter...I love a good massage, so feel free to spoil me!
I'm a laid back guy, so I'm pretty good at putting people and pets at ease. I'm also helping to "cat-test" other animals.
I am available for adoption to an approved indoor-only home. Maybe even to a interested nursing home!?
I am very loved here and the shelter staff and director will all have to approve my adoption.
I'm neutered and up-to-date on my vaccinations.

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!

"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.
