Joseph

Breed: Pitbull, American/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Adult

Hello, my name is Joseph. I am a mature gentleman who isn't handling the fast pace shelter environment very well. I have been scared, trembling, and not seeking out attention from humans. Despite how scared I am I have been very gentle and easy to handle. I can't tell you how hard its been but I often hear people say I'm breaking their hearts. I am currently spending some time in an office in their attempts to help me adjust. My shelter friends are now searching for a family with no children under the age of 10 who can offer me a quiet place to decompress. Do you have room in your heart for a guy like me? Please ask about fostering or adopting me today! I am around 9 years old and weigh a slender 39 pounds.

Lilly

Breed: Chihuahua/ Mix
Gender: Female
Age: Young

Hi there, my name is Lilly and I came in with my big sister Sissy. I am 4 years old and my sister is 13 years old. We are two really sweet girls looking for a home willing to adopt us together where we can lavish our new owner with love. Because we are fragile and in need of some TLC, the shelter recommends an adult only home. Yes I have a crooked front leg, but the shelter vet says I just might need a little extra help from time to time. For kind person who adopts us both, the shelter is willing to reduce our adoption fee to $25.00 for the two of us. The cuddles we will give you are priceless!

Simon

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Adult

Hi, I'm Simon! I'm a handsome grey gentleman just over 5-years-old. I'm relaxed and friendly, and am more than capable of keeping a lap warm with all my 13lbs of lovin'! I was found wandering lost outside, and frankly it wasn't my scene. I would like to be inside with my people - plus, I am allergic to fleas and I'm safer indoors. I'm already neutered and ready to go home with you today, if you so desire. Come down and meet me, I'll charm you faster than you can say 'simple Simon'!

Samantha

Breed: Siamese/ Mix
Gender: Female
Age: Adult

My name is Samantha, a very pretty Siamese lady who is just over 5-years-old. I'm a little old-fashioned, I like to know a person a little better before I really let me hair down - and that hair is very soft! I'm a little shy, but affectionate, and quite playful. I love dangly toys and laser pointers! I am easily stressed by other animals, and would be quite happy being the only furry one in the home. An exception might be a nice and mellow male cat who understands personal space. Sometimes I get a little too amped-up from being pet too long, so the shelter staff will show you how to keep that from happening. I'm very cute, and love to perch on my people's lap or laps. If you have an affinity for Siameses, you probably know girls like me really well! I'm spayed and ready to go home today, just come meet me.

Squirrely Joe

Breed: Coonhound, Treeing Walker/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Young

Squirrely Joe is a sweet and sensitive young Hound Dog around 1 year old. He's a little shy at first meeting strangers and quite impressionable at just one year old. He's is quite thin and could stand to gain a few pounds- He won't get too much bigger but should bulk up with a high quality diet and lots of love. He weighs just 42 pounds and has an athletic build and active nature. As with all hounds Squirrely Joe will need lots of positive reinforcement training to overcome his strong urge to follow his nose and become a well adjusted and social fellow. He's been pretty quiet for his breed here but once he becomes comfortable in his new home he might just find his voice. If you're looking for a great running, camping and loving lifetime companion this is your boy.
