541-7387 KELLER
Yes, it's obvious that he's old, thin, and blind, but what doesn't show so easily is that he is also very sweet and well behaved. He'd love to be some elderly person's lap dog and companion, so that he could spend the rest of his life in a loving home.

549-3934 We don't know much about Lucky except that her owners left her behind when they moved. A neighbor found her and brought her to us. She is an older Cocker Spaniel, who holds no grudges. She loves people, and just wants someone to hang out with.
ANNA
Just because you can't guess her breeds by looking at her, doesn't mean Anna isn't a fabulous dog! In fact she is quite special, her behavior gives you the most clues. She is super smart, she loves to swim, play, and herd! Any ideas?

SPENCER
Spencer is sporting a snazzy lion cut as a summer hairdo, but his luxurious coat will be back in time for cooler weather. This Spaniel/Aussie X is a great size for a family dog, and we think he has the most expressive eyes we've seen in a while!
LUCKY
GIMLI
He's named after a character in "The Lord of the Rings" because he does indeed look like a dwarf, and he has the same feisty personality as the literary Gimli. Crossing a Basset Hound with a Rottweiler does produce interesting results.
PAT R I C K
Patrick was just a youngster when he was adopted last year, but now he's grown up to be a big, handsome fellow. His human mom developed allergies, so now he's back at the shelter to try to find the truly perfect home.
J . T.
This week has been a bit sad for J.T. You see his longtime companion got adopted without him, and now he feels a bit lonely without her. Even though he is happy she went to a wonderful home, he wants it to be his turn. J.T is a perfect older gentleman who loves people and other dogs.
MR. PRINGLES
Unfortunately it can sometimes be tough for us to find homes for our older cats. Mr. Pringles has quite a bit to say about that! I'm not kidding, he can be pretty convincing. He argues better than any lawyer I've ever met; I challenge you to try to turn him down!

GINGER
Ginger has the coloring of a flame point Siamese, but her long, luxurious coat came from somewhere else. This blue-eyed beauty would certainly like to be somewhere else right now; she's really tired of living in a cage!

DOMINIC
Practically every visitor to our cat room notices big (very big!), good-looking Dominic, but no one has decided to take him home. He's a gentle, mellow guy who gets along with everyone, so we know he'd be something close to a perfect pet!
MAGGIE
I'm sure by now, you all have heard how much Maggie loves hanging out with the doggies. So much so, that she has gone to a foster home, Showcase Grooming! Now you and the rest of your canine family can meet her there. I think she will try to wiggle her way right into the dog carrier and into your home.

721-4710 SPOT
He fought for life as long as he could. Spot kept vigil by his side and gave all the comfort she could to her very sick guardian. He was put in a hospital, never to return, and the kitty worried about where her friend had gone. Unable to find homes for this faithful companion, the family turned to AniMeals for help.
MADONNA
The old man died peacefully in his sleep. His family was not able to keep his faithful companion, who was just as old as he was. It was the only home she ever knew and her loss has been traumatic. Fearful that she will be passed over while hundreds of little kittens get adopted, she is hoping for a guardian angel that will cherish her just like the old man did for so many years.
FOXY
The house was filled with garbage stacked to the ceiling. Narrow pathways between dirty dishes and rotten food led from room to room. Her owner was a hoarder and couldn't throw anything away. The cat had just been another thing the old lady collected. Foxy came to us reeking of the trash-filled home she'd been living in, the smell clinging to her fur.
FA N C Y
She was dumped high up on a mountain in the dead of winter. Fancy made her way back to civilization through waist deep snow, how she did it will forever remain a mystery. When the manager of a ski resort found her she was skin and bones. Her benefactor wanted her to be the official office cat, but soon realized he could not overcome his allergies.
