Pets of the Week

Molly

Molly, an eight year old Plott Hound,needed some extra attention so we sent her to a loving foster home. This is what they have to say about her. "Molly is a calm, gentle girl. She has been with us in foster, and we have enjoyed watching her as she gets comfortable and gets accustomed to living inside a house. Every day she learns something new, and we are delighted to see her reveal a sweet and sometimes silly personality. She gets along with other dogs, and is just a bit shy with new people, though she does love to be petted. She needs someone who can help her continue to gain confidence."

Deena

Deena is a sensitive and sweet girl who is looking for her forever home. She is a little uncertain with change so she may be best suited for a secure and quiet home environment rather than a busy and active household, but she would make an excellent lap cat. She has had a rough life up until now so she would prefer to be an indoor only cat.

Madrigal

Madrigal is a dude with awesome catitude. He is a friendly but firey boy. The scars on his nose tell you he has had a hard life, so he would love to be in safe and inside only home. He does well with other cats and loves kittens.

A041812

Izzie

Izzie is an adorable little girl with a tiny squeak to match. She does not get along well with other cats, but she is affectionate around people.

044711

Ridge

Ridge is a fun and goofy hound. This handsome boy would be an excellent companion for someone with an active lifestyle. He is friendly and outgoing, and has energy to boot. He loves people and loves to play.

049840

Momma

Momma stole our hearts, and we know she'll steal your's. Momma may not look like much of a lover-dog, but she is. This girl is a sweet and affectionate pup who just wants to be around people. She is good in a car and on a leash, but sometimes she can be a brat with other dogs, so meet and greets are a must.
