Downey

Downey is a very soft, sweet, kind, and loving cat. He loves to rub up against your hands and feet, and will lick/kiss for pets. He is very gentle and his fur is very, *very* soft. He also often crosses his paws at the wrists in an adorable manner. He also rolls over easily, as you can see from his profile picture, but he's also quite dignified. He rarely declines affection or attention, but he doesn't demand it, either.

Sabrina

My name is Sabrina and I am spunky, sassy, and sweet! I was born on June 28th and was hand raised by a very lovely woman who showed me and my siblings how to be the snuggliest, warmest kittens ever.
Like most kittens, I love to play--with cat toys, baby toys, dog toys, rubber balls, zip ties---if it moves, I play with it! When it comes time for me to slow down and rest, I often seek out my human family for cuddles (even the 8 month old baby in the house--I love her too).

Benny

Meet Benny! Benny is a 7 year old pug/beagle mix that comes in at a low-riding 223bs. He is a ball of fun and energy when you want him to be, but most of the time, he is content to lay at your feet and snore away the day or night.

Maddie

I'm Maddie! I'm a loving 45lb, 3.5 year old Whippet/Pitbull mix. Not to brag, but I am extremely smart. I am house-trained, crate-trained, and know many commands; sit, down, paw, wait. I'm willing to learn more too if you have a treat, a toy, or some love- I'm not picky. I also love walks and can go for miles and miles. I do not pull on my leash because I want to be right next to you the whole time, not in front.

Tator Tot

Meet Tater tot, a tiny Chihuahua around 5 years old. This adorable little guy loves everyone he meets and gets along well with other dogs. He enjoys cuddling on the couch and will nudge your hand when he wants extra attention. He also likes going outside and wags his tail whenever he is excited, which is almost all the time! Tater tot would do best with someone that is home during the day since his favorite activity is simply being around people that love him. He is housetrained and up to date on vaccinations.
