Star

Her name is “STAR” and that is exactly what she is. Just look at that face and that posture. She was very ready for her close-up! Star is a 5-year-old female Maine Coon mix. Her liquid glass-slipper eyes and her unusually lengthy whiskers point to an upper crust lineage. Her outward beauty is only surpassed by her calm and loving personality. She adores being held and cuddled, sitting on a lap and being stroked, or just enjoying a warm and loving forever home. Star is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Taz

Meet Taz, our terrier-pitbull-mix, 5-month-old puppy. He’s a handsome lad with a short, easy-to-care-for coat in black/brown brindle and white on his face and paws.  His nature is sweet, calm, loving gentle and attentive. Taz is a good puppy. He’s smart, friendly, likes people and attention. With tender, loving care and some training, he will make a great pet and companion in a forever home. Taz is available through Saturday at the shelter.
