Gravity
"Hello, I’m Gravity! I am an affectionate old gal who loves to relax. I also really LOVE head rubs! I enjoy rubbing my face on things too, especially if it’s someone’s hand! I would love a warm cozy bed and a calm loving home. Come on over and give lovable me a chance to be your golden girl."

Macy
"Some of the dogs around here are, well, they're maniacs! I get exhausted just watching them run around and play. Me, I'm the quiet type. I mean, I love squeaky toys, and I enjoy short walks, but my favorite things are relaxing on the sofa and snuggling up with my humans. If you're looking for a cute snuggle bunny of your very own, come see me right away."

Piper
"I may be a little gray around the muzzle, but looks can be deceiving. I am an active girl who loves to take walks and am good on the leash once I calm down from the excitement of getting to go out. I’m happy, sweet and caring, and two of my favorite things are belly rubs and getting (and giving) lots of kisses. If you’ll be my Pied Piper, I’ll be glad to follow you home."

Vivi
"Whoa…that’s a big camera you got there. Why do you need to take my picture? So I can be adopted, okay I’ll accept that as a reason to put that big camera in my face. I’m an active, happy girl who loves being the center of attention. I would love for you to come adopt me today!"

Ireland
"Aren’t I adorable? I have a personality that matches. I love people and dogs, so much that sometimes I get excited and jump. But hey, you would too if you had as much love inside as I do! You might notice my back legs are a little odd. That’s caused by my CCL, the dog equivalent of your ACL. The folks here can tell you about it and how to fix it. Does it stop me from being my happy, frisky self? Woof, no! Nothing slows down Ireland. Take me home and I will add great joy to your life."

Jenga
"I’m a happy-go-lucky girl who wants to meet you! I love to give love and am a huge fans of treats. I walk pretty well on a leash, so why don’t you take me out and see my skills!"

Dexter
"I’m a social but mischievous little imp. Having a limp has not stopped me from being an active cat. I really love treats and when I am in the mood I love a good cuddle. I’m still very playful and would benefit from a home with lots of toys to entertain me. When I get bored I do find ways to entertain myself but sometimes that can get me in a bit of trouble. If you’re a bit impish like me than we would make the perfect pair!"

Josie
"Well how do you do, I am Josie, and let me start off by saying that if you got a treat I’ll take a sit just for the said treat. Now, I got to say, I do love attention and running around outside to explore! When we meet, if you take me out to the doggie park and start handing me treats well let’s say you and I will be a match!”

Gordita
"Haha so funny, I may be a little on the round side but I am totally wonderful. I love to lounge around and be petted. I enjoy getting attention but don’t like to share it with other cats. I can be a bit sassy with other cats but if they leave me alone, I leave them alone. I would be really happy if you came and adopted me today!"

"I'm not just any dog. I have a special talent. I know how to make silly faces! The face you see here isn't silly, it's just happy. I wanted to show you my nicest smile so you would pick me to take home and love. I'm a spunky guy with lots of energy. I love to play and get very excited when I see someone coming to play with me. I hope I will see you coming to play soon."

Pudge
"Hi, I’m Pudge! I’m a sweet tabby kitty but a bit bashful right now. It must be because I’d much rather be in a loving and calm home with a nice friend who’ll be gentle with me. I’m really looking forward to finding that home soon where I can finally relax."

"Hello! I am the curious Sadie! I like to check out everything going on around me. I am gentle older lady and have excellent leash walking manners.

Marty
"Would you like to meet a really nice guy who is also a good boy? I walk well on a leash and am old enough to have learned good manners in other ways. I’m curious and love to look around when I am out and about. I am so eager to meet people that sometimes a creep up a bit on the chain link of my run. You can’t blame me for having enthusiasm, can you? I’m a happy guy but I sure will be even happier when I have a home of my own. If it has dogs and cats, that will be probably be okay with me, too."

Charlie
"Hi, I’m Charlie! I’m pretty right? I’m pretty on the inside too but you’ll need to give me some time to show you. I have to admit…I do better with the ladies than men, and older kiddos would be best for me. Someone spent a lot of time teaching me tricks during the time I had spent time in a home…adjusting to life in the shelter has made me a bit nervous. Come by and meet me and let’s see how things go!"
