Hi, my name is Roxie and I’m a four-and-a-half-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix. I’ve watched a number of my canine friends find homes, and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with me? I know that I will make a great friend and companion. I’m housetrained, very playful, friendly with other dogs, and great on walks. I’m excited to meet new people every time they come to the Shelter, but nobody has brought me home yet…and I’m so full of love and kisses. Please come by and seem soon. I’ll be waiting.

My name is Millie and I will be two-years-old in February. As you can see by my picture I’m a small breed mix—maybe a little Pug, a little Chihuahua, and a bit of Boston Terrier. The humans at the Shelter are very nice to me and I love them all, but life isn’t easy for me. You see, they tell me I wasn’t socialized with other humans or dogs when I younger, so I don’t always react well when first introduced. But once I get to know you, it’s all about the love. I did spend some time with a wonderful trainer, and she said that I could learn to be a good canine citizen with some more training, patience, and love. The Shelter is offering to help pay for training when my new forever home comes along. I hope that is soon, because I’m wishing for a new home by Christmas. So Mr. Santa, please find me a home with lots of love to spare.

Hi there, I’m Chico, a one-and-a-half year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix. I’m only seven plus pounds, but I feel like I’m 107. I think that’s why I ran into some trouble at my last home; see, the kids there would always tease me, so I was constantly on guard. That aside, I’m a real snuggle bug. In fact, my favorite spot is on top of your shoulder where I can better keep an eye on things. I’m dreaming of a quite home, a soft warm blanket, and kind hands to hold me.

Spike is a special needs cat. He is nine-years-old and deaf. A stray found many years ago fending for himself, Spike had polyps growing out of his ears the size of golf balls. He could hardly lift his head, and although the polyps were removed, he had already lost his hearing. Spike is looking for an indoor home without children. He enjoys attention, and is so ready, and deserving, of someone like you.

Hi, they call me Tori and I’m three years old. I’m not very good at the whole social scene because I lived a very sheltered life growing up. I have learned to trust humans to a certain degree
, but I’m still rather shy. I’m very comfortable around other cats, and I know with some time, I’ll learn what life is really all about. Won’t you please show me the way?

My name is Motor, which is kind of a cool name for a cat don’t you think? I prefer to be an indoor/outdoor cat, though I know the Shelter staff tries not to promote cats going outdoors. See, I’m a great rodent hunter, so maybe I can be of use to you. Have you ever heard a cat purr and meow all in one breath? Wait—maybe that’s why they named me motor. Anyway, if you’re looking for me, then I’m looking for you.

My name is Lilly and I’m two years old now. I’m an independent girl, but I’m also a young Tortie (it’s how we’re made). I’m a bit shy about being handled, but once I get to you know you, I like the attention. They tell me that I’m pretty, so that’s nice. I also like to chase things and lounge around with my close cat friends. I have a nice life here, but I’ve been dreaming of a home of my own. What do you say?

Please allow me to introduce myself; I’m Missy, a five-and-a-half-year-old cutie. They tell me that I have a very sweet personality. I spent my former life with a quiet, elderly lady, and was really quite content. I’d so much love another quiet, tidy home with a warm lap to curl on. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving feline friend, look no further and take me home.

My name is Caleb and I am eleven years old. They say that cats have nine lives; well I know I’ve lived through several of them. My first life was not very good. I lived outside alone, had to find my own food and keep safe from predators. I spent many a cold night trying to stay warm. As you can see by my curled up ears, I had frostbite more than once. One day a nice lady started putting food out for me, and the next thing I knew, I was living in her home. Things were good. I had meals on a regular basis and it was so nice to be cozy and warm when the snow was blowing outdoors. I even had several feline friends. Then one day not long ago, my pet parent suddenly passed and I found myself being cared for at The Ark. I’m hoping that I still have a chance at another life, in a warm home, with bright, sunny windows. Am I asking too much?

My name is Chaiya and I’m a one-year-old Blue Lynx Point Siamese. Like most Siamese, I might need a little time to warm up to you, but I’m very friendly once I settle in. I’m always up for playing ball—they tell me I have very solid ball handling skills. I even carry a ball around with me in case someone’s up for a game. So what do you say?

As you can see, I’m a pretty little Siamese Seal Point. I’m not so easy to get to know because I take longer to adjust to new situations than most of my feline friends. I don’t like to be picked up either, but if the right person comes along, I would be open to some lap time. A home with a beautiful view from the inside is my dream.

Look at this cute face and those big brown eyes! How can you resist him? His name is Thumper, and he is a four-year-old Beagle. Although he loves to get in nature and put that nose to the ground, he was never used for hunting, but rather enjoyed the easy life on the sofa curled up with his loving owner. He gets along great with other dogs and does fine around cats as well. Thumper will strike into song when overly excited; but he’s a fairly quiet, mild-mannered guy who just wants to be loved.

Poppa is a ten-year-old German Shepherd who spent the past nine and a half years living outside chained to a doghouse. Day in and day out, life never changed for poor ol’ Poppa until he came to stay at the Shelter. Recently given a clean bill of health by the veterinarian, Poppa is looking to start a new chapter in his life. He’s a sweet guy without a mean bone in his body, and so grateful to be living indoors surrounded by caring hands. He cherishes his time out on walks, taking in all the smells that he was never able to sniff out from the end of his chain. He gets along with other dogs and doesn’t seem to mind the cats. Poppa deserves to spend the rest of his days in peace and happiness.

Logan is an eight-year-old Beagle who spent the better part of his life tied outside. Yes, some people still believe that Beagles need to live outdoors. Well this little guy is so happy to be indoors and to have a warm bed to sleep on—he’s ready for the real thing. Had he not come to our Shelter, he was going to be shot because he was “old” and no longer “useful.” Well Logan is ready to prove how useful he is by being the best companion a dog can be.

My name is Louie and I’m two-and-a-half years old. If you’re looking for a handsome, affectionate guy, you’re looking at him. I’m the kind of cat that likes to be “part of the action,” so make sure and include me in what you’re doing. My favorite past time is curling up in you lap for “Louie time.” When I’m not busy getting loving, I like to keep my eyes on the action going on outside. So, what do you say?
