Meet Mandy!

Here on the final day of Adopt-a-Senior-Pet month, we have another super senior to introduce to you! Mandy is a basset hound treasure. It is so easy to sit quietly with Mandy and stroke her. She deserves attention and knows it - she'll hit you with a dose of doggy guilt when you stop! And lest you think she's "all washed up" - Mandy took a happy trot across the yard (this despite horribly neglected nails that make it impossible for her to walk normally - they are being trimmed back very slowly).

Can you help Mandy find the retirement home she deserves?

Can you help Cara?

Cara is a sweetheart, but the shelter environment has become overwhelming for her and she has become skittish. When she first arrived, she was always asking for lap-time and cuddles. However, she has been at the shelter for over one year without a person to call her own. She has become withdrawn and sad.

Cara is in desperate need of a foster situation (or adoptive home). She needs a quiet, child-free environment with someone who knows how to help a dog regain her confidence and happiness. Do you know someone who can help Cara?

Meet Faith!

Faith is a wonderful girl! With her houndy head (that at certain angles looks Boster Terrier!), furry coat and spotted coloring, her breed combination is anyone's guess. But it sure is a winning combination. Faith does well with dogs of all sorts of temperaments, and she soaks up attention. The only thing Faith is lacking is a home.

Help wonderful Faith find a wonderful home!

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!

Spread the word about Patti!
