Lily is a 3 year old Husky that was surrendered to us along with her puppies back in January! Lily was very underweight on arrival, and had quite the number of pups feeding off of her. Now that she is alone she has been gaining weight and playing like a pup again! Lily loves having dogs around and would do well with another one in the household! She loves playing in the backyard and enjoys being brushed - thankfully - because man does she shed! She would benefit from having an owner that has experience in training pups because she has had none. She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Bricks is a 3 year old domestic cat that was found as a stray and never claimed! This handsome big chunk came in very scared and full of scabs. It seemed like Bricks had been living on the streets for a very long time before he came into our care. After 4 weeks of TLC, Bricks is ready for a forever family! He seems to be okay with other cats and is interested in dogs. Bricks has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Dozer is an 8 year old Boxer x Akita x Mastiff that was found as a stray and never claimed. We assume this handsome boy was a shop dog, he does not enjoy being inside and would much rather be the first thing people meet on your property! Dozer is very friendly, but most of the time keeps to himself and goes on his own adventures in the backyard. He seems to be okay with dogs his size but would prefer to have no kitty friends at his house! Dozer has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Heidi and Mandi are 1 year old Ragdolls that were surrendered by their previous home. These 2 lovely girls are quite bonded and so we are on a quest to find them a forever home, together! Mandi prefers to be the queen - and the only other pet that she will allow in her castle is Heidi so we are looking for a home with no other pets. They are both extremely loving and are 24.7 side by side. They have been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in them please fill out an Adoption Form.
Loki is a 2 year old long haired handsome man. Loki is the main man and wants to be tended to accordingly, so being the only pet in the household is ideal! Loki is an incredibly playful guy who would like to be played with daily and receive lots of stimulation. In his current home he has begun clicker training and absolutely loves it! He knows sit, paw, high five and to come to his name. He purrs whenever training sessions start and looks forward to it every morning. He loves all of the puzzles and snuffle mats that we have given him and would love if he could have some in his new home. We have not come across a food that he doesn’t like! Treats and food alike, he is very food motivated and will always want a piece of your meals (you will need to pay the cheese tax). He does seem a bit food insecure, so consistent feeding times would be best. He is a very chatty man and loves to tell you when he needs something. He is a very snuggly boy once he warms up but he knows his boundaries and if you understand cat body language you will be able to tell when he has had enough. This goes for combing as well which he seems to enjoy but will let you know when enough is enough. Overall, Loki would do best in a home where he can be the king of the roost. somewhere he can receive lots of stimulation both physically and mentally! With more exposure he may even be a great adventure cat! Loki has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Winston is a 2 year old domestic cat that was trapped on a rural property. This shy boy is still coming out of his shell but we know with more patience and love he will be a dream boy! Winston is vocal, and although scared at first - once you get him going, he is non stop. Bum up in the air, shy purrs and some head butts with each and every pet he gets. Winston would do best in a quieter home with no other pets or small children. He has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
