Dino was found as a stray after he’d spent a few weeks roaming around a garage. He is a very shy gentleman and doesn’t understand what is happening in his life. He is calm and easy to handle but not used to being held. He loves being pet. He is coming out of his shell and will need a quiet home.

Dusty
Dusty is a handsome Tuxedo Domestic Long-Hair mix. He is a very shy guy and would probably prefer a home without small children. He needs someone who will be patient so he can learn that he is safe. Sometimes we just do not know what kind of stress abandoned cats have been under and they need your love and support. Please consider opening your heart and home to this deserving cat.
Vanna
Vanna has had a sad life. She is approximately 6 months old, and the only home she has known is the shelter. Vanna is a beautiful girl. She needs someone to adopt her that will be patient and understanding, because she will need to learn to be in a family. Trust will probably be an issue, and she cannot be expected to be a cuddlebug. Please open your heart and home to her during this beautiful fall season.
Luke
Luke is back in the shelter, but it is not his fault. The family had an older large dog, and it was too much for the family to have two large dogs. He is just a little over a year old and out of the puppy stage. Luke is a handsome boy and weighs 55 pounds. He has a good personality and would make a fantastic addition to an active family. Please give Luke a chance to be your new BFF during this beautiful fall season.
Bridger
Bridger is a mountain cur; however, he is afraid of guns. His family wanted a hunting dog, and when they found out Bridger did not like the sound of a gun, they didn’t want him anymore. He is good with kids and would make a wonderful family pet. He has a great personality. Bridger isn’t afraid of strangers and gets along well with other dogs. He would like to find an active family who loves the outdoors. Bridger is an indoor dog but would like a home with a fenced yard so he can enjoy playing outside and be safe. He is only 2 years old and weighs approximately 40 pounds.
Bridger is a special-needs dog because he is afraid of loud noises. He also has issues when he is left alone for long periods of time. Bridger will need training and a very loving family who will understand his needs. He is a good boy and really needs a second chance.
