Cat of the Month


Meet John and Judas!
We are a bonded pair of brothers who love each other very dearly. We are quiet cats who enjoy birdwatching and snuggling up together for a nap. We have been in foster together for a while now and would love to finally find our forever home. Our dream home is quiet and laid back so we can feel comfortable. Do you have room at home for two handsome boys?

Meet Copper!
Copper is a 4 year old Treewalker Coonhound who was originally transferred to our shelter from Tennessee. He was adopted and spent about 2 years in a home before being returned to us.
When you look at Copper the first thing you'll notice is his extremely bowed legs that are thought to be caused by a genetic deformity. Fortunately, this condition does not cause him any extreme pain but he may need additional medical treatment as he ages. We think Copper's legs makes him extra special and have been affectionately calling him a "tree-hugging coonhound".
Despite his condition, Copper enjoys life to the fullest. Copper enjoys playing with toys of any kind, going on walks, belly rubs, playing with other dogs, and napping. Copper is truly a "people dog".
While we really enjoy Copper's company, we would love to see him get adopted into a family that loves him as much as we do!
