Jackson

Happy Presidents' Day! I am Jackson, a 4 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. I have been DNA tested and am 100% pure. I have a handsome brindle coat and am described as a very loving boy. As big and strong as I am, I have to admit that children scare me. They are fast, noisy and unpredictable and I just don't know what that is all about. Adult company is what I crave. I am a man's man but I love the ladies too. My foster folks are still getting to know me so are not yet sure how I would be with other dogs or cats.They think an adult home with a fenced yard would be perfect for me.

Chives

Chives is a young, adorable tabby male and he is a nut! Energetic to the max, Chives needs humans who can be home at least a good portion of the day, and would do well with another cat, especially another young or slightly older male. Chives hides around new people, but he acclimates to humans quickly and is on his way to being quite friendly, jumping up on his foster mom's lap. However, he plays with and on everything, and needs to be told "no" about playing with human hands and feet, and redirected to an interactive toy. Chives was fostered due to a bout of conjunctivitis and may need his eyes looked at from time to time.

Miko

Miko is shy with new people, but once he gets to know you, this big boy just wants to show you his belly, get pets, and play!

Miko he has some characteristics of the breed British Shorthair because he has a big upper body and is chunky—British Shorthairs were traditionally the mouse-catcher workers of Great Britian. Miko has always loved to play, especially with a feather wand, and can jump 4 to 5 feet in the air, no kidding! Once he gets to know you (giving treats helps) he will actually meow for attention. At his foster home, he had a favorite spot he always runs to for petting and plops down. He rolled over and looks at you with his round eyes, waiting for head and neck scratches. He also liked to be brushed. Like most cats, he doesn’t tolerate belly rubs, but he always shows the belly to show his trust in his person.
