My name is Oscar and my ID# is 303697. I am a 3 year old, neutered male, black and white, domestic short hair, cat. I was an indoor - outdoor cat. I visited a lot with my owner's neighbor. Then one day, after I came home from visiting the neighbor, my owner had moved! Left me behind! I am so glad that the neighbor was my friend and watched out for me. The kind neighbor brought me to the shelter so I have a chance at being adopted into a responsible and loving home. Would you like to adopt me? Just promise me that if you move, you won't leave me behind.

My name is Cricket and my ID# is 306295. I am a 5 month old, female, black and white, domestic short hair, kitten. I am full of vim and vigor. I am as playful as can be. Give me an empty paper grocery bag and I will entertain you! I like to stretch and show you how much room I will need while sleeping on our bed together. I know life has a lot to offer and I am excited that I will have the opportunity to visit with a bunch of different potential owners. Will you be the one that decides we need each other? Don't miss out on a spectacular girl! I am here for you. |

My name is Izzie and my ID# is 300052. I am a 2 year old, female, orange, domestic short hair, cat. I am such a lovable cat that I start kneading my feet back and forth when you look at me. I can't help it! I am just so friendly that the anticipation of visiting with you gets me excited and my little front feet just get to moving! I would make a great cat for anyone who ever wanted a lap top! I would be perfectly happy to snuggle on your lap and let my front paws massage your knees! Let's get to know each other, shall we? Have lap? Need cat? |
My name is Baby and my ID# is 297776. I am a 6 year old, spayed female, black and white, domestic medium hair, cat. I was an only pet. Boy, was I surprised when I was brought here! I really thought I was the only cat in this big old world! Not so! I adjusted quite nicely to the smells and sounds of all the other cats here. It has been nice hearing the meows from others. I do miss being the spoiled child, though. If you need someone to love and hold, why not come on down and hold me...then you can adopt me and love me forever. |

My name is Leila Marie and my ID# is 250202. I am a 1 year old, spayed female, black with gray, German Shepherd mix dog. I get along well with children, dogs, and ferrets. I am used to living indoors and am housebroken. I know some basic obedience like sit, down, and shake. I have excellent leash manners. I do like to romp and play in a fenced back yard, and would probably like to go to a dog park. If you are looking for a dog with huge potential to be a wonderful family member, pick me! |
![]() My name is Mattie and my ID# is 243370. I am a 9 month old, spayed female, brown brindle, German Shepherd - Greyhound mix puppy. I am a very tall girl. I am super sweet and have lived with children and other dogs (big and small). I am housebroken and know how to use a doggie door. I already know how to sit on command and have wonderful leash manners. I do like to run and play in a fenced back yard. The volunteer dog trainers say I am very intelligent. Are you smart enough for me? |

My name is K.C. and my ID# is 143733. I am a 5 year old, spayed female, black and tan with a smidgeon of white on my neck, German Shepherd mix dog. I have lived with children, dogs, and cats. I am housebroken. I have good leash manners. I am not a huge dog, but will require a fenced back yard. I am a bit nervous when there are storms, but other than that I take things in stride. My previous owners could no longer keep their house and bringing me here was their only choice. I hope we all find new homes. Would you like to adopt me? |
![]() My name is Brittany and my ID# is 306937. I am a 3 year old, female, liver and white, German Shorthair Pointer. I am not as big as most German Shorthair Pointers and my tail was never docked (it's long). I have the sweetest temperament. I have lived with children and dogs. I startle easy if big dogs approach me, but other than that, I am pretty mellow. I am housebroken and have very polite leash manners. I am very smart and would be a great dog for an active family to include me in on their outings. |

My name is Sandy and my ID# is 275709. I am a 3 year old, spayed female, yellow, Labrador type dog. I have lived with children but have not had the luxury of living inside with them. I am a quick learner and am sure to be relatively easy to train to live indoors as part of the family. If you have a doggie door, that would really help me learn even quicker on how to stay inside and go out when necessary. Bring the family down and let's get acquainted. |
My name is Precious and my ID# is 017478. I am an 8 year old, spayed female, black and tan, Hound type dog. I look good for my age, don't you think? I know some basic obedience and can sit on cue. I have spectacular leash manners and love to go for walks in the cool of the morning. The volunteer dog trainers say I am smart and attentive. They say I am extremely willing and able to learn. So, if you want to teach an old dog new tricks, pick me! |
