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.
These boys are 3 year old brothers that were trapped on a rural property with some other kitties. They are friendly, love head butting and will purr non stop once they get to know you! It's only been a few weeks but they are coming out of their shells with us already. Ted and Fred don't love being picked up but I'm sure in time that is something they will be up for given how loving they are already! They would do best in a quieter home. Ted and Fred have been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in them 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.
Markus is a 3 year old domestic cat that was trapped on a rural property along with his siblings by a partnering rescue! Markus was the first to come out of his shell. He is a BIG BOY with a huge heart. Markus loves to headbutt, purr and have his belly rubbed! He is not a fan of being picked up, but that is okay since he is in the top weight bracket for UFC. We refer to him as the Big Brick with a heart of gold! Markus enjoys the company of other cats. 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.
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.
Harry is a 1 year old domestic cat that was surrendered by his previous home. This handsome boy loves to be the centre of attention and for that reason we are looking to place him in an only pet home! Harry is very playful and enjoys being pet. He has previously lived in a home with younger children, and will keep them entertained with his playfulness. He has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
