Dory

Beautiful, loving and very much in need of a new forever home, Dory lost her previous home as a result of a house fire. Her ear was slightly burned as a result. All healed now, soft and looking good, Dory is ready to go. She’s a 2-year-old, female, American shorthair with gorgeous colors and markings in ivory, creamy brown, gray, tan and ebony tabby. According to a shelter volunteer, Dory would make an amazing cuddle-buddy! She looks like a ball of love; very sweet and affectionate. As soon as the (cage) door is open, she’s purring away. Dory deserves a good forever home with owners who will give her all the love and attention she deserves. Dory will be available through June 9.

Wiz

A great juvenile, 8-month-old puppy, that’s our Wiz! This male, American pit bull terrier is calm, laid back, smart and fun. He is very tummy-rub motivated, and loves people and giving them kisses! Cute in his shorthair brown and white coat, Wiz seems upset to have found himself at the shelter. He can be heard crying in his kennel when nobody is close by. Given owner(s) who will show him love, attention, exercise in a fenced area or on leash and basic obedience training, Wiz will make a great family member in a good forever home.
