Tootsie Roll

Hey! Are you looking for an exercise companion? If so, Tootsie Roll's the name and losing pounds is my game. It happens as we approach middle age...our metabolism slows down and the pounds just add up. I am ready to make a commitment to being healthy.

Tiger Lily

My name is Tiger Lily - you know, like the flower? (Although my foster family says that I'm prettier than any flower that they've ever seen.)

I'm four years old and about 55 lbs - although a lady never reveals her true weight (Plus, I get kind of squirmy on the scale; that thing really weirds me out.)

I absolutely love people, especially children. In fact, I was roommates with a toddler for a while and we were the best of friends. After all, we both loved to play and take naps and then play some more - you know, the important stuff.

Willow

Meet Willow, a dog friendly, cat friendly, child friendly, 13 year old female Chihuahua.

Willow was taken into animal control after someone found her outside on their lawn after a storm. Willow's people did not come forward to claim her.

Lucky

Meet Lucky, a 10 year old, 10 pound, Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix who is happy with life! If Lucky's friends described him in two adjectives it would be: easy-going, and happy.

Lucky really likes other small dogs. While he's not been around cats, his foster mom is sure he would be just fine with one. Lucky would not mind a mellow larger dog to lay around with, but is not keen on energetic puppies, or big bouncy dogs - he's a mature older fellow who just wants to enjoy quiet time.

Elvis is an active boy who gets along with dogs, pulls on his leash while walking, is house trained and is getting used to a crate. Elvis is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and is on heartworm medication.

Ferdinand

Ferdinand is a big kitty who's really shy at first but is just learning to play and have fun. Once he becomes comfortable with a person, he loves getting cheek scratches and pets and he loves being currycombed with a rubber brush. Something happened to his tail - he only has one-half of it! Ferdinand has had conjunctivitis which can return with stress, and his eyes may need to be looked at from time to time.

This five year-old brown tabby is full of personality and love. She's looking for a home where she can be the center of attention and the president of the social club!
