Cat of the Month

Harry
Meet Harry!
The first thing you will notice about her is her beautiful dilute tortoiseshell markings. Harry's favorite things are wet food and comfy beds. Her perfect day would be spent in a cozy living room corner snoozing the day away. In terms of other pets she gives roommates a chance if they give her space to do as she pleases. Come meet Harry and give her the love she deserves!
Dog of the Month

Copper
Copper is truly one of a kind!
Although people are quick to notice his extremely bowed legs, which is a result of a genetic deformity, this four-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound is so much more than that.
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 affectionately nicknamed him the "tree-hugging coonhound."
Despite his condition, Copper enjoys life to the fullest. He enjoys playing with toys of any kind, going on walks, getting belly rubs, playing with toys and napping. Being a HUGE "people dog," Copper enjoys hanging out in the office to greet people when they come to the shelter. He is known for his classic hound howl, full-body wiggles and giving the best hugs.
Although we adore him, we would be thrilled to see him get adopted into a family that loves him as much as we do!
