ADOPTING
SHELTER PETS WITH TRUST ISSUES
Shelter pets that exhibit shyness on meeting new people are very often overlooked for adoption, but people who are willing to invest some time and patience with these pets are rewarded with a lifetime of love and loyalty.
Click here to read one woman's account of just such an adoption. Plus an update added on March 20, 2016.

FEATURE CAT . . .
Courage (one to two years old) had a pretty bad start to his life. He came to the shelter with some other cats that were rounded up because they were not being treated well. At that time he had some very bad facial injuries that required intensive treatment. Bless his heart, he allowed us to treat the injuries without so much as one complaint. You can see that he’s all healed up now and is a very handsome fellow. He’s a happy, healthy, affectionate boy but he’s VERY HIGH ENERGY---always ready to play! The thing is, he can get “over stimulated”, and then he will tend to play “rough”---nipping and biting, but never hard enough to break skin. We do recommend a home without young children and he wouldn’t be ideal for senior citizens, either, but we do know there’s no reason why he wouldn’t make a great family companion for folks who will take the time to learn about him. He more than DESERVES the chance to prove himself! Will YOU be the one to give him that chance?

Dear Parker was abandoned in a local park, but he found his way to our shelter. This male Labrador mix appears to be between 6 and 8 years old, and weighs 55 lbs. He’s a quiet boy and very friendly. He does fine with other dogs---he’s very patient with his pen mate, Josie, who’s a bit of a whirling dervish. Parker loves spending time outside and patrolling the grounds. He enjoys the attention of the volunteers at the shelter, but we sense a sadness and a confusion, as he doesn't understand how he wound up here. We will probably never learn about Parker's former life, but we are determined to find him a loving and secure home where he can live in peace at last.
FEATURE DOGS. . .
Otto is a very friendly, well mannered senior dog. He has plenty of energy and curiosity about life. He gets along fine with other dogs and loves people. Otto is house trained, in excellent health and has no aggressive tendencies. We think he’s been passed over for adoption because of his age and breed mix---totally unfair! This fella has a long way to go and a lot to offer to the family that will give him the chance to prove what an awesome dog he can be. How about it? He can go home with you TODAY!

Oreo, now known as Reggie, is doing great! We know why he was surrendered. Big....time chewer, nothing is safe. He is a very happy dog. Loves sleeping on sofa with my husband. Gets along with the cat. Loves the neighborhood dogs. We went on trip, he is a perfect car rider. In that one photo, he was barking at the frog. Big bad dog. Hair is still growing. Who knows how it will finish. He is getting fat. He’s a chow hound. We will have to watch his weight.
We thank you for doing all you do. Tell the other girls at shelter.
