Featured Pets
"Lil Taylor" is a wonderful neutered male cat that's almost 7 years old. He was surrendered to the Shelter because his owner could no longer care for him. He's a very sweet guy that loves to have his chin scratched! He would make a perfect companion to someone who wants a buddy to watch TV with! He is litter box trained and is fine with other cats. He is also up to date on his vaccines!
 
"Arrow" is an adorable male Beagle that's about 1 year old and weighs 25lbs. He came to the Shelter after he was found at someone's home. He is a sweet boy that plays great with other dogs and does fine with cats. Arrow is very scared of small children, so he would do best in a home with kids over the age of 12. He loves to play with toys and then snuggle up in his dog bed for a good nap!
