Calling all animal lovers!

If you're on the lookout for a new pet for you or your family, look no further.

Zero

I'm Zero, a one year old medium haired black and white male. My previous owner moved into a house with dogs, and I don't get along with them well at all. However, I do get along well with other cats. I'm a little shy but I warm up quickly when you pet me.

Bucky Boy

Nice to meet you...my name is Bucky Boy. It's been a rough road for me thus far...I was found as a stray, taken to a shelter, given the name "14c139" and put on death row because of my FeLV status. FeLV is a virus that attacks the immune system. It is contagious to other cats, but not to humans or dogs.

Earl

Earl is a 6 year old, tiger striped, indoor, 16-lb male that is perfect for cat lovers who want a snuggle partner. He played coy in the beginning, hiding under the sofa waiting for his foster parents to reach under to pet him; but he happily accepted with purring and nuzzling.

Jinxie

Jinxie is a very handsome, long-haired orange guy who is almost four years old. He looks like a tiny lion, with big double paws.

Jinxie came to us after having to have all of his teeth removed. Despite having no teeth, he happily chomps away at his dry food and ignores the wet food.

Julian

Julian is sweet 3-year-old boy with big paws and an even bigger heart!

Julian was surrendered by his owner due to financial hardships. That was sad and confusing to Julian, but he's taken it in stride. Julian is a gentle giant. He is a big, solid guy who loves pets and will immediately start rolling on his back when he gets attention.

Boomer

Boomer is a 55lb pittie mix whose owner fell on hard times and wasn't able to take care of him anymore. Boomer is around 15 years old, but he has a good amount of energy for a senior! We've had his bloodwork done and he's in great health for his age.

Bruschi

Meet Bruschi ! This handsome 2 year old pit bull mix just came into our rescue, but already has made some big impressions! He went to an adoption event at the Solomon Park Mall and tried to befriend everyone, including the three kids who were using him as a jungle gym.

Seeley

Seeley is a wonderful dog who aims to please. He's an active dog who loves romping in the snow and exploring the scenery while out on walks but is also very attentive to his people. He will sit on command (especially for treats!) and he takes treats so gently. He loves to toss a toy around to entertain himself.

Winnie

Meet Winnie! This little girl is under ten pounds and estimated to be around five years old, though she definitely has the energy of a young dog!

Poor Winifred was found matted and scared in a very rough situation so you can't blame her for being fearful. She needs to be able to approach new people at her own pace.

Gilligan

Meet Gilligan! He is a Pekingese and Lhasa Apso mix who weighs about 14 lbs. He is estimated to be about 2 or 3 years old. Gilligan came to rescue from a local shelter and feels great after a much needed haircut! He was a very good boy for his haircut, even though we knew that he was in some pain due to the matting he was licking the hand of the groomer.
