1. JAMMER: This patient, sweet boy has shown that he is a match for the stressful and confining life in the shelter. Even so, he's been here long enough and we are all pulling for him to find a great forever home soon! He's still just a kid with lots of energy and needs an active life. Looking for a perfect jogging companion? How about a beach buddy? This medium-sized American Staffordshire and Border Collie mix is ready for you! After an outing, he'll want to relax with you while you read or watch TV. Don't be misled by his rambunctious behavior in his kennel -- once he's outside, he's very settled!
2. DAISY: She's cute, perky, outgoing, happy, friendly and still waiting to find a family who will be loyal and devoted to her. Only about 18 months old, she has already had 3 homes that we know about. She was adopted from here in February by people who said they wanted her. Then, they gave her away to a stranger, who let her go stray then did not try to find her. This sweet girl needs and deserves a home with responsible 'parents' who won't let her down, ever again!
3. SOPHIA: Just a kid, this 6 month old Boxer mix is full of life and joy (her photo here shows her “on alert”). She's a happy girl, loves people, loves to play and be part of the action. Being still a pup, she needs lots of romping and play every day, along with plenty of love. Pretty in her coppery brindle and white coat, Sophia is looking for a family where she is an important member and involved in all the fun and activities.
4. COOPER (top): Wonderful boy with a super personality, Cooper is a young adult orange tabby who is playful, gentle, friendly and gets along well with other kitties. He enjoys playing with his kitty pals in the big room. He's on the small side but packs a lot of good stuff in his small body. Don't wait too long to meet this boy! MINNIE (bottom): Barely an adult, Minnie is a little sprite with a pretty face and a very shiny, sleek black coat. She is friendly and quiet and ready for someone looking for an all-around nice, young kitty. She likes people and pets so needs to be a 'house cat'.
5. CODY: Handsome, great personality, good health -- this Aussie boy has it all! He is about six years old and we're astonished that he is homeless. But, he's ready to find a new family (or single) who will want to keep him forever and enjoy his companionship. He loves to go for walks and is pretty good on a leash.
