Vader is a uniquely handsome husky/pit mix who is approximately 3 years old. He is a friendly, very energetic boy. He loves everyone but because of his size and exuberance, older children would be best for him. Vader does like other dogs but plays hard. Vader does need work walking on a leash but he does know some basic commands. His new owners should be active and have room for Vader to run and play. Vader loves to play ball or chase a frisbee. If you are interested in Vader, please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours, Wednesdays 6-8pm or Saturdays 12-3pm.

Creamsicle is a happy go lucky young male cat who likes to voice his affection. He had a hard knock life on the streets his first few months, but now he is very playful and loves to be held. If you adopt Creamsicle, he will be your new buddy and will give you lots of cuddles. Come meet Creamsicle any Saturday afternoon or Wednesday evening and see for yourself.

From One of Our Dog Volunteers:
"One of the best things I ever did. I wish I had done it sooner. I thought I would be sad or want to adopt every one but it's so fulfilling and not like I thought. Watching families give these babies a new life is a beautiful thing!" - Brenda
