Bogey and Lolo are 3 month old Lab x puppies that are now ready to find their forever homes! These cuties are the best mix of play and ZZzzz! At puppy yoga, these 2 were sleeping beauties! Bogey and Lolo are currently in foster with their big Lab uncle who they adore! A home with another dog would be ideal as they are very social pups! A fenced in yard and a family that loves to hike and explore to the front of the line! They have been vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. They will be spayed / neutered at a later date. If you are interested in either of them please fill out an Adoption Form.
Wyatt is a 1.5 year old coonhound that was found in severe pain a few months ago. This poor boy was out in the woods for a while - starved and quilled. Luckily, Team Chelsea stepped up and took this injured boy on, getting him the urgent medical care he so deserved. After a few months with his devoted fosters, this handsome man is ready to fly the coup! Wyatt will need to be in a home where someone is around most of the day. He is a very active boy, one he needs a lot of mental stimulation. Wyatt seems to be okay with other dogs. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Bagel is a 5 year old beagle x hound that was found as a stray and never claimed! This boy is true to his breed, a nose of gold and a bark that only a mother could love! He is a sweet guy that doesn't mind other dogs his size! A fenced in yard is ideal, as he loves being outside sniffing around for all of the good spots! Bagel has been perfect in his kennel over night - and always waits to go outside! Bagel has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Timmy is a 7 year old Chihuahua x Papillion that came in as a stray and was never claimed. This boy is camera shy, but is the complete opposite when cameras are not around! Timmy has a lot to say - but will settle with some reassurance! He attaches to one person and really bonds with them so someone that is home often would be ideal! Timmy needs to be placed into a quieter home with no children. Timmy has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Lipton is a 2 year old Husky that was surrendered by his previous owner who could no longer take care of him. Lipton had been scratched in the eye by a cat as a puppy - so recently he underwent surgery to remove that damaged eye! His vision loss does not stop him at all - still an overly happy boy with a lot of energy! He loves playing in the backyard, and thinks the snow is a "treat" - super hydrated boy this one is! Lipton seems to be okay with dogs his size but cats are an absolute no for him! He would do best in a home with older children as he is still a bit jumpy and has some manners to learn :). Lipton has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Thunder is a 3.5 month old German Shep x Husky that was suffering from trauma to his eye when found. He was put into foster and on eye meds immediately - which resulted in him not having to lose his precious eye, yay! He does have some permanent scarring, and will likely always see a bit blurry out of it, but he's a happy, healthy ball of fun! His foster had amazing things to say about him, he sleeps through the night, caught on to asking for outside potty breaks and LOVES to cuddle. Thunder is honestly the happiest pup around - on arrival he was skin and bones with 0 energy, now he is begging to play, especially with his big foster brother St.Bernard! Thunder would do best in an active home with a fully fenced in yard - preferably with another dog! He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Are you looking for the snuggliest kitty ever? This handsome 8.5 year old cat was transferred to us from another shelter looking for someone to call his own! Garfield has a slight heart murmur but that doesn't affect him at all! Makes him more of a lover. He adjusted very easily here at the shelter, making him a super social friendly guy! He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Drogo is an 8 year old german shepherd that is looking for his forever home, one just as perfect as his last! His previous loving mama has crossed the rainbow bridge, and her wish was to make sure Drogo would be cared for - we along with many others will make sure that wish comes to fruition! Drogo is a very laid back guy who enjoys going for walks and playing ball! He is currently staying at a home with 2 kitties who he doesn't seem to mind, gets along well with dogs his size but no small dogs please! He is on thyroid and anxiety medication (anxiety meds likely because he misses his mama). Drogo is an amazing ol'boy that would love nothing more than to feel stability, comfort and love once again. Drogo has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Snowy is a 5 year old domestic cat that was surrendered by her previous family who could no longer care for her. Snowy was apparently not always using the litterbox in the home, but has been using it consistently in shelter. She is such a friendly, loving girl that would benefit from being in a quiet home. Snowy has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Boo and Chip are 3.5 year old dwarf bunnies that were surrendered by their previous loving home. These buns are very friendly and have been pre loved - looking for another lap to cuddle up to! Their favorite veggie is brussel sprouts but they wont turn down a snack - ever! They would do great as a pair, or separate as long as they are getting attention from their new family! If you are interested in either of them please fill out an Adoption Form.
Patricia is a 2 year old domestic cat that was trapped in October along with her kittens. Patricia came in very spicy! After a short 4 month stay - with loads of Churus and Tiki cat cans, this sweet girl is ready to find a family to call her own! She loves head butts, her back rubbed and extra wet food! She would do best in a quieter home where she can take her time in coming around. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Joan is a 3.5 month old kitten that was found as a feral stray. She was quite feisty on arrival, but has been making strides! She would do best in a quieter home where she can take her time in coming around! She enjoys being pet and spoken to but we are still working on cuddling / picking up! In a few more weeks she will be a completely different kitty! Joan has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
