Hi… my name is Ralphie,

Adopted 2-25-18

Please let me show you—up close and personal—why people say that “dog is man and woman’s best friend.” (Cats have their meaningful proverbs, too, but I’ll let them speak for themselves.) I was a stray dog, covered in cactus needles, and that only made me happy to be found. My rescuer said I love people, which leads to the top reason a dog could be your best friend—we love unconditionally. At just 18-months old, I’m active but can be mellow, too, and, as your friend, affectionate when you want me to be. Already good on a leash, I’m a red and white Boxer/Staffie mix male, 58 pounds, who’s eager to learn more good-dog things to please you. And if you say the word, I’ll be the loyal, loving companion you deserve forever.

Hi… my name is Tonks,

Adopted 1-16-18

I was lost—we could say on an adventure because that sounds like a lot more fun—when a Border Patrol agent rescued me and my canine pal. We were covered in mud, she said, but fairly friendly. On arrival here, I had to be carried to my run because I was scared and because a leash was a brand new thing to me. Very quickly, though, I’ve been learning how to walk on the leash, sit when told to, and exactly what “b-a-t-h” means. I’m a 2-year-old Lab mix male, slender at just 41 pounds, and sometimes just a little shy but so eager to meet you. Once acquainted, I’m lively, playful, and happy just to be in your company, hoping to make you happy, too. Will you show me what “home” means?

Hi… my name is Coco,

Adopted 12-3-17

“Loves to play with stuffed mice and strings, purrs so loud you can practically hear him in the next room, and wants to be cuddled ALL THE TIME.” If that doesn’t convince you, then come sit with me for just a few minutes and I promise you’ll be a “goner!” My mom fell on hard times and had to move to a place that didn’t allow cats, so after living with her for four of my six years, I’m once again needing a human to shower my affection on. I must confess that I’m intimidated by dogs and over-the-top noisy little kids, but other than that, not to brag, but I’d be the perfect companion! I even like to take strolls on my leash, so I might even get you moving too!

Hi… my name is Gracie Lou,

Adopted 3-21-18

Comes with Free Vet Care for Life!

Yes, I guess there really is “too much of a good thing,” and since I tip the scales at about 19 pounds, that “good thing” was obviously food! Needless to say, the first thing the volunteers did when I arrived was to put me on a diet, but we cats have to take it slow in the “food reduction” department, so it might take a while for me to regain my sylphlike figure, but with patience and encouragement, I know I can do it! I’m a 9-year-old mostly white dilute calico (my ears and tail are the only clues to that breed!), and I love to be petted, purr easily when you talk to me, and am sweet and loving. Sounds like a darned good combo to me! How about you?

Hi… my name is Armani,

Adopted 3-31-18

Some cats are more special than others! In my case, I have a syndrome called “pica” — an inclination to munch on things like bedding, clothes, and plastic (a rather peculiar behavior for cats — puppies tend to chew on stuff all the time, but it’s pretty rare for us felines!). To offset that “specialness” though, I’m an exceedingly sweet and beautiful, declawed, Maine Coon mix girl who lives up to my namesake’s reputation for sophistication and class (even though he was a guy!). I get along great with other cats here (maybe having another four-footed playmate at my new home would also take my mind off those “taboo” things?), and I simply adore people and laps, so won’t you give me one more chance to be a “regular gal?”

Hi… my name is Taco,

Adopted 11-25-17

Soon after I was adopted in September, my new mom and dad each developed serious health problems and they just couldn’t keep me. Mom said she was “so sad” to give me up, but we understand. Even a little puppy like me needs lots of attention. Back then, I weighed just 3 pounds. Now I’m still growing and learning, too. For instance, I’ve been learning how to play with cats—my former people said I loved them, but our play was sometimes a little rough. You won’t be surprised to know that I’m lively—just what you’d expect from a 3-month-old Chihuahua mix female!  I’m also friendly, sweet, and a wonderful size for cuddling. So let’s meet and see if we match! If we do, there’s lots of fun and love in our future.
