Meet our cutest new fella Thunder! He has a big name but a little body! Thunder is a four month old Morkie that loves everyone and anyone, he just wants a ton of friends! Thunder would do well in any home as he has been well socialized at a young age. He does prefer smaller dog friends though. He is also about 85% house trained, no need for pee pads! He looooves to play in the backyard so we are looking for a home that is not an apartment at this time, he is very quiet and well behaved with people around but has quite the loud bark when he is alone. He enjoys his crate and taking walks, this guy will keep you busy as he is pretty active! Thunder has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Harrison is a 9 year old chihuahua that was surrendered due to the loss of his previous owner. Harrison is understandably quite stressed as his life has been turned upside down but with every day that passes he comes out of his shell a little more. He is a very tiny guy with a big heart if you're willing to give him the time to trust and open up to you! He enjoys being held and is quite clean inside the house. Harrison is a typical chihuahua and does best with "his person" so if you're a single adult in a quiet home, please apply!! He currently only has 2 teeth so his diet mainly consists of wet food and cesars! Harrison has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
This beautiful boy is a 1.5 year old Husky x Malamute that was brought to us in the hopes of finding his forever home. Max is a playful boy, that still acts like a baby. He loves to jump and play - and doesn't realize just how big he is! Be prepared to be knocked over a few times, especially for a toy or a treat! We are currently working on his manners and will require his new owners to continue with training once he leaves. Max gets along well with other dogs - as long as he's outside in the snow, life is good - he can spend all day in the backyard playing with friends or by himself! He is very clean in his kennel and enjoys being groomed. Max has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Macey is a 3 year old domestic cat who was transferred to us with her litter of kittens. They were from a rural farm and needed a safe spot to nurse and be together as a family. Maceys kittens have since been adopted but since Macey was from a farm it has taken months in foster for her to trust and come around to us! She is now a lover, you can win her over with temptations and head rubs any day! Macey has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Sully is a 7 month old collie x that was found as a stray and never claimed. This handsome boy was completely shut down upon arrival and has been a tough cookie to crack! Sully was extremely fearful and lacked any confidence, he is still learning and will need an experienced owner that will continue to show him love and work on getting him to a point where loud noises and new scenarios wont be so intimidating for him. He seems to be okay with other dogs and continues to learn from them here at the shelter! He has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Miranda is a beautiful 10 month old domestic cat that was found as a stray in very poor condition. After a few weeks in hospital (and thanks to Team Chelsea!) receiving round the clock care she is now ready for adoption. Miranda has had quite a rough life so far, and so will take a few weeks to warm up to her new family. She enjoys being pet and will cuddle but also likes having alone time! Miranda has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Winny is a 1.5 year old domestic cat that was found as a stray and never claimed! This rambunctious little one has been in foster with other cats, she prefers females and is opening up around the dog that is in the house! This sweet girl is still young and is a ball of fun, non stop running, playing and jumping - keeping her foster family on their feet and playing with toys! We are looking to place her into a home with no young kids. She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
