Dartmouth

Breed: Domestic Longhair/ Mixed

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Dartmouth may appear to be an adventurous swashbuckler in his photo, but he claims he was Photoshopped! This handsome guy is more of a congenial saloon keeper with a penchant for tall tales. Our handsome and sweet ginger has had his left eye removed (he claims he foiled a robbery) and he has very limited vision in his cloudy right eye. To be honest, he looks a bit like Nicodemus from The Secret Of Nimh! Due to his poor vision, he will need to stay inside. He compensates for his poor vision by smelling things - a lot. And then he squeaks. Utterly adorable! Dartmouth is about 12-years, already neutered, and ready to sail off to new adventures!

Hi there! My name is Harley and I'm looking for a new home that is dedicated to taking care of my medical needs. Unfortunately, my owner could not care for me any longer and I have ended up here at the shelter in search of a new family. I am a very social guy that loves people. I have lived with kids, cats, and other dogs. I tend to not like to share with other canines, so I will have to managed well when food and toys are around. I am housetrained, LOVE toys, and LOVE swimming. I will make a great companion for someone special! My new family will need to be prepared for the possibility of a special long-term diet and regular vet visits. I'm a little high maintenance, but have the personality to make it up. Please come and meet me today! I am about 8 years old and weigh a thin 80 pounds.

Rocky

Breed: American Husky/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Hi! My name is Rocky. I am a 2.5-year-old Husky mix, and I want to be your next friend! In my previous home, I lived with kids and really seem to like kids a lot! I have experience with other dogs and would appreciate a rowdy playmate. I have my basic commands down, and I really like stuffy toys too! My previous home said that I would escape the back yard sometimes, so secure containment and supervised time outside will be necessary to help me out! Did I mention I love to meet new people!? I know this seems like a lot of information, but I think it is all great stuff for you to know! See ya soon so we can become best friends!

Lentil

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mixed

Gender: Female

Age: Young

Hello, I'm Lentil, I'm a shy but curious 7 month old kitty. I have had a tough start in life and I am hoping to find my furrever home who will work with me with socialization and have lots of patience with me. Another feline friend in the same household would be ideal for me. This way I can fee more at ease with another mate and work on my shyness with people. Now once I am in your arms, I am a loud purr machine. The best match home would be a quiet, calm and patient family with another feline around my age to play with. Could this be you?? IF so, come on in and meet me today.

Lenore

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mixed

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Lenore is a sweet, 8-year-old grey/white lass who needs a new family. She is very affectionate, though not exactly the social butterfly of the room - though she will likely grow more confident with her family. Lenore should be fine with respectful children and other pets with a slow and positive introduction. She will also do just fine as the only pet, she enjoys her own company! Lenore has a flea allergy, which means she will need to stay on quality, monthly flea control and ideally remain inside-only. Lenore is spayed and ready to join the family today!

Ziggy

Breed: Terrier/Pug

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

My name is Ziggy! I am handsome little guy who is ready to take on the world! I enjoy adventures, so do not be fooled just because of my size-let's go hike! As you can tell, I am a very active guy so my new family should be ready for that. I like to use my nose and find all the great scents around me. I do like other dogs my size, but sometimes I can be a bit excitable, so finding the right type of playmate for me with be beneficial. Hope to see you at the shelter! I am 2 years old and weigh 12 pounds.

Lou

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mixed

Gender: Female

Age: Young

My name is Lou, I'm a pretty grey and white Shorthair looking for my new family! I'm just about 1.5 years-old and sweet as sugar. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, I was lost outside for a time, but I remember how much I like being pet and fawned over! Once you start petting me, I often roll on my side and make little muffins with my front paws. Yeah, I'm pretty adorable. Due to my shyer nature, I will do better in a quieter home - maybe with another friendly cat? I'll be spayed as part of my adoption. Come meet me today!

Elvis

Breed: Pitbull, American/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Hi there! My name is Elvis and I'm the king of rump rubs! Gosh I enjoy having mine rubbed. I hope you like giving rubs because if you don't I will rub my booty on you until you do! HAHA! I can be a little shy at first, but that's the key to my heart. I love sticks and tennis balls but can chew them up so hard rubber balls are much better. Snuggles are awesome too! I can't wait to curl up next to my people by the warm fireplace. I am a pretty calm boy for the most part, but will need to still get some good daily exercise and playtime, cause I could lose a few pounds. I am working on some fear issues I have with my kennel and I am a little nervous around strange men. However, I do warm up to the men in my life with slow and possitive introductions. I came to the shelter with some missing hair and am currently being treated for infections in my ears. This could be caused by an allergy to fleas, food, or something in the environment. You will need to speak with your Veterinarian about the best treatment for me. I think I would do best in a home with kids 10 and older. If you're ready for a bubbly, cuddlebug then come and meet me today! I am about 5 years old and weigh 62 pounds. I am currently in foster care. To set up a time to meet me, email at [email protected].
