Say hi to Sheba!
Sheba is a 3 year old lab mix who has lots of love to give! She enjoys her daily walks and would love to run around the yard with you. She is naturally curious, playful, and trusting, and is just waiting for the right person to come along and take her to her forever home! She is one smart pup, and promises to teach you lots of new tricks once she gets settled.
Meet Barbara Ann!
Barbara Ann is our sweet Southern Belle, which happens to mean a beautiful charming women from the south. Like most Southern Belles, she possesses an undeniable natural charm, has a warm and dazzling smile, and impeccable manners. Who wouldn't want to be in the presence of such grace?

This type of interaction promotes a love of reading, but also provides a calm socializing experience for the animals.

Paws to read is available from

Happy Endings!

Just wanted to send some pictures of Figaro formerly known as Gala. She is loving life here with us as a spoiled only kitty. Loves to cuddle and be in the mix. We couldn't be happier!
