Our Featured Pets
China #850
Two-year-old China lived in a backyard with her siblings. She was kept in a kennel and the only exercise she had was being moved from the kennel to a tie out on a tree. Her "owners" had plans to use her to breed but thankfully we were able to rescue her and her siblings from the life they were living for her two years here. She has a very high prey drive and must be trained to calm down. She is a very strong girl of medium build but tires easily due to the fact that she was never allowed to run play or go for walks. She needs a very experienced owner that will not let her dominate. She should not live with children and should always be kept on leash when walked. She will chase anything that runs including adults.
Julianne #743
Two-year-old Julianne lived in a house with 30 other cats. She was taken from a hoarder of cats. They all lived in one bedroom and had each other for company and would only see their human owner for feedings, litter box changes and minimal individual time for petting. We have found that the cats NEED a kitty companion or they get very depressed. If you don't already have a cat and are interested in adopting do you have room for two? The fee for two kitties is $130.
Diamond #849
Two-and-a-half-year-old Diamond is one handsome dog. He and his siblings were rescued from living in a dilapidated garage stuck inside kennels. The only exercise he received was being moved from his kennel to a tie out on a tree. He is a strong dog. He is learning how to be a "free" dog and loves going for walks and being loved. He loves people and gets along well with some other dogs. He should live with an adult family He's beautiful and will be a loyal pet for the right family.
Dolly #748
Five-year-old Dolly lived in a house with multiple cats. She is a shy girl that enjoys the company of her sisiter Eleanor. Would you considser two kitties for the price less than one?
