Kiki is a 4 year old domestic short haired, female, brown tabby who was turned into the shelter with her sister Crayola when their previous owner became allergic. When Kiki first came to us she was a bit on the shy side. She would hide in the back of her cage or climb into a box and peek over the side. Kiki has come a long way in the two weeks she has been here. She is now coming out and investigating new people, in fact she seems to like it when people open the cage to see her and will come up to be pet and coddled over.
Empress is a big dog that fits her name! She is a 4 year old Mastiff/ Lab mix who was rescued by the SPCA from another shelter where she ran out of time. This is truly a gentle giantess! Empress is a big girl, weighing over 80 pounds, but is an incredibly sweet and kind dog. She knows a lot of basic commands and likes to please people so she should be easy to train. When we went to the other shelter to look for dogs we almost passed by her, but she sat quietly in front of her cage and looked up at us with her big brown eyes, we just had to take her and help find her an amazing forever home.
Crayola is a bit younger than her sister and is a dark tortoiseshell color. She is the more outgoing of the two and will head butt you to get your attention. As soon as you walk in the room with her she begins to purr loudly, and rub her head across the bars of her cage as to show you how affectionate she is. Once you open her cage she will want you to pet her immediately and will do her best to rub her head and body across your hand, she’s a tad more demanding then her sister. Although very different, these two cats love each other and can be seen curled up to one another almost all day. This is why we are asking for someone to take both of them together!
Brisco is a young, hearty 7 month old Pit bull mix who came to our shelter when he ran out of time at a high euthanasia rate shelter. He has a ton of energy and likes to bounce up to everyone and say hello . Although Brisco is incredibly friendly he will benefit from some training which we have started at the shelter. This little boy Loves his cookies and will do almost anything for a treat. He also came to us a bit thin and will benefit from some healthy puppy food until he is older. Brisco gets along well with other dogs and will make a great pet for a family willing to take Brisco for a jog or exercise every day.
