Ashley

A large, muscular hunk of a handsome cat, that’s our Ashley. This tabby wears a striking coat of slate/silver with white whisker pads and chin and a rosebud nose.  But he’s not just a pretty face: he is very gentle, very calm and very loving. And it just gets better and better — Ashley is already neutered and ready to go to his good, forever home with an adoption fee of $15. You’d better hurry in and adopt him because in a heartbeat, Ashley will be gone with the wind. He is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Pops

Sweet, gentle, calm, a lover who loves to be loved — meet our Pops. He is a 6-year-old, Pug-mix dog, with a silky, smooth white shorthair coat and brown ears. Pops is referred to as a “Pudgy Pug” because, although, not a resident of a nearby area, he charmed the residents into feeding him. In other words, Pops needs to lose 10 pounds. And as the pounds melt off of him, your heart will melt with love for this good dog. Pay this little charmer a visit — you’ll be glad you did. He’s available through Saturday at the shelter.
