Wanda is a 5 month old Corso x Dogo x Australian Shep thats been looking for her forever home for quite some time now. Luckily, she has been in foster soaking up all of the love and cuddles she can get. Wanda is a very sweet girl, who gets along well with other dogs and could play all day long! She especially loves being outside in the backyard where she can get all of her zoomies out. Wanda is learning basic commands but would benefit from continuous training - this breed loves to be worked and would do well being given a job! Wanda has been vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. He will be spayed at a later date. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Meet Arnie & Charlie [6607A&B]
These brothers are looking for their forever homes! They were initially found as strays but ended up being dumped by their previous owner. Arnie and Charlie were very scared on arrival but after a few weeks they have surely found their personalities! Arnie (Black with white stripe) was the more shy one, but now that he knows us he will come running full speed looking for cuddles. Charlie (Tan with white/black mask) is very confident, maybe a bit too confident at times, he can be a bit too much for some dogs but is fine being put in his place, he is learning boundaries! They will both benefit from training and stability, so we are hoping to put them into homes that have enough time to give them the attention they need. They have been vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and will be neutered at a later date. If you are interested in either of them please fill out an Adoption Form.
Millie is a 4.5 month old Corso x Dogo x Aussie looking for her forever home! Millie is a very smart girl! She is taking well to her training, is "sitting" for her treats and is so excited to meet any new person that wants to show her attention! Millie loves other dogs, and would benefit from living with a pal! She is very well socialized with kids, other pets and strangers. Because she is still a young pup she will need further training to ensure she grows up to be a respectful sweet girl! Millie has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Batman is a 5 year old cat that was abandoned in his carrier by a dumpster in South Whitby. This poor man was covered in fleas when we found him - his hair was very thin from all of the scratching. Batman is now flea free and his skin / coat is looking perfect! He would be best in a home as the only kitty and older children. Batman has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
ET & Netty were dumped on a rural property a few months ago. They were terrified and completely shut down when their finder was able to trap them and bring them in. They have been in the house for a few months now and have made strides. They enjoy being pet and will purr from time to time! They are quite social once they get to know you. Netty definitely brings ET out of her shell so we are hoping to find them a home together. They have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in them please fill out an Adoption Form.
Eugene is a 3 year old cat that was brought into the shelter after being abandoned. This handsome guy was extremely terrified upon arrival and untrusting of humans. After months of TLC, he has finally turned around! Eugene loves to be pet and will sometimes drool from affection. He will need a quiet home where he can take his time in coming around. Eugene has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Meet Cookie [6582B]
Cookie is a 5 year old domestic cat that was suffering from a urinary blockage. Luckily, Team Chelsea took him on immediately to ensure he was given the medical he so urgently needed. Cookie is a very sweet boy, and prefers men. He can sometimes be over stimulated so a household with kids over 12 years old would be ideal. Cookie will need to remain on a urinary diet to prevent another blockage from happening. Cookie has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Sully is a 4 year old Siamese x that was found as a stray and never claimed. He came in a bit reserved but over time has come out of his shell - he's a very sweet man! Sully is a dominant kitty so he would do best in a home as the only cat so he can get ALL the attention he requires. Sully has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Precious is a senior kitty that has unfortunately found her way into the shelter system at the age of 11! Precious loves to be pet and have her chin scratched but will let you know when she's reached her limit! She spends most of her day cuddled up in bed watching the cars go by on Thickson Rd! Precious would do best in a home with no other kitties as she likes to be the star of the show! Precious has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Snowy is a 5 year old domestic cat that was surrendered by her previous family who could no longer care for her. Snowy was apparently not always using the litterbox in the home, but has been using it consistently in shelter. She is such a friendly, loving girl that would benefit from being in a quiet home with no other pets. Snowy has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.

If you are interested in either of them please fill out an Adoption Form.
