Meet Patti!

Someone has made a horrible mistake in not adopting our Miss Patti yet. Patti is a hoot! She is super social with people and with other dogs, loves playing, smiles constantly, and will keep you in stitches with her overall goofiness. She's on the small side of "medium" but she can definitely put on some speed, so somewhere to run is essential. She is a bit of a chow hound...ahem...so needs a little diet, and she's been at the shelter since she was a young pup, so she'll need someone loving and patient enough to explain "house manners" to her. But she'd love to learn, and she'd love to make your life happy!

Meet Jake!

Jake is such a snuggly bundle of cute, it is hard to imagine that he's been waiting at the shelter since he was a puppy. It might be that his kennel behavior is misleading - he jumps for joy at the prospect of going outside. But get him outside, and you'll find a calm, sweet, submissive and sometimes silly boy! He is wonderfully house-sized and very easy to love.

Jake is a member of The ONE Club - he's been looking for "the one" for over 1 year. Isn't it time he found home?
