Cat of the month ~  

This beauty is Bonnie!  Bonnie is a petite girl who is very polite!  She doesn't meow unless she needs your attention, she loves watching the birds and wildlife outside, and like chin rubs!  She will be so happy once she goes to a home where she can be herself!  It gets crazy in the cat room!  

Dog of the month ~ ADOPTED!
This is Elwood!  This little guy is such a cutie and has a great personality.  He loves to play and loves TOYS and Nylabones!  He is just a year old, enjoys his walks and likes his play group with some of the other dogs.  He is a fun boy who will make you laugh! He has puppy energy so expect to be entertained!

​

We need your help in two ways

​

DONATIONS: 

First, our donations are way down and we need your help.  We know that this is a very difficult time for all Americans ~ job uncertainty and the possibility of illness is in all of our minds.   We can only hope that you, our community, can give just a small amount to help us help the animals that cannot help themselves.  We still are caring for the pets in fosters and with Spring, comes kittens (they are coming in already) and medical bills.

​

FOSTERS:

Second, we need foster homes ready for cats, moms and kittens, and orphaned kittens! If you have some time and a quiet area in your home, would you please consider being a foster parent?  Please go to our Foster Program page to find out more.
