Featured Pet Of The Week

Biscuit, 2 yr old pom/spaniel mix, was surrendered with several others so he is used to being with other dogs. He is quite timid but given time and effort, he will be just fine. He comes to life when he is out in the fenced in yard with the other dogs so a fenced yard is a "must". I also believe he would be happier with other dogs in his life just for the security of their presence. So far, he hasn't been a player but he does follow them closely. He seems to be afraid of cats and has probably never encountered them before. About 23 pounds. Contact emelfoster@frontier.com

Carmen DOB: 10-22 2025
This beautiful all-black kitten is full of love to give. She is absolutely starved for attention and will sit in her cage kneading, just waiting for someone to come by and pet her. Once you do, she soaks up every second of affection. With her sweet personality and affectionate nature, she’s sure to bring so much happiness to whoever takes her home.
