OUR ADOPTABLES OF THE MONTH!

CoCo is a 3 year old Beagle/Rottie mix...yes beagle & rottie...strange but sooo cute....he is about 30lbs and is the sweetest dog. He would make a great family pet. He is good with people and other dogs too. He loves walks and belly rubs and is very well behaved.

 

Meet Chewy! He is a 2 year old male with gorgeous tiger stripe markings. He is neutered and UTD with shots. He is such a great cat. He is well behaved and loves just hanging out with his people. He is cat friendly and dog friendly too! Chewy lost his home due to a new baby in the home being allergic to him. He adjusted right away in his foster home and now thinks he's a part of the family. Chewy had some bladder stones and is now on special food. Dont let this deter you. It's just a different brand of food and is the same price as other brands. He really deserves a forever home who will love him and be his best friend.

 

Meet PUMPKIN. He is an 8 month old gorgeous orange boy. He is neutered and up to date with shots. He is cat friendly and loves to play and be pet. He is looking for his FUR-ever home.


Meet Segan! He is a 6 year old pitt mix who is just a big mush! He loves people and gets along well with other dogs too! He loves walks and car rides and is just an all around great dog.
