Dino
Dino was found as a stray. He is a very shy gentleman and doesn’t understand what is happening in his life. He is calm and easily handled but not used to being held; he really does like attention, though. He is just coming out of his shell and will need a quiet home.
Lindy
This pretty girl’s owner could not keep her. She is used to being around people and loves attention. She likes to cuddle and she purrs constantly! She is good with other cats but is afraid of dogs.
Luna
Luna is a part of family of eight cats turned into the shelter because their owner could no longer care for them. She is a very friendly, loving cat. She likes people and will come when she is called. She is very affectionate and loves having her beautiful, soft, long fur pet.
Snow
Snow is five months old and came from a loving home. A family member developed allergies. He is used to people and loves to play. He is a quiet boy and listens well. He loves to go for walks and play on the ramp and with a tennis ball.

Dolly

Please open your heart and home to Dolly today. She is counting on you to rescue her as soon as possible.
Buster
Buster is a cute little guy. He is a Terrier mix and approximately 3 years old. It is hard for the little ones to be in the shelter. Buster is no exception and he is counting on you to open your heart and home to him during this beautiful fall season. Buster walks on leash and has a cute personality.
Gizmo
Please don’t be confused. Gizmo is not a “Gremlin.” He is a really cute little guy with a sweet personality. Gizmo is a pug/terrier mix. He is 4 years old. Gizmo has a sweet personality and enjoys life. Because of his size, Gizmo needs a home without small children. Gizmo would make a great best friend for a couple or single person. It is really hard on the little ones to be in the shelter, so Gizmo is anxious to find his new forever home.
J. J.
J. J. is a cute pug/terrier mix. He is 6 years old. As you can tell by his shelter picture, he has a good personality. J. J. seemed to enjoy posing for his shelter picture. It is hard on the older little guys to be in the shelter. J. J. is counting on you to open your heart and home to him during this beautiful fall season. He is anxious to become your best little buddy.
Gertie
Gertie is a beautiful cat. Just look at how she posed for her picture; she is telling you, “Come and rescue me.” Gertie is approximately 1 year old and pregnant already. If you cannot adopt her but would like to foster her so she can have her kittens in a home environment, please contact us. Of course, Friends of Ivins Animal Shelter would be responsible for her expense while she is in foster care. If you would like to adopt Gertie, Friends of Ivins Animal Shelter will still be responsible for her needs until her kittens are born and will accept them at the shelter when they are ready for adoption. Please open your heart and home to her today.

Viper
Viper is a very lucky boy. He was almost snake food but was saved from that fate. He’s a very sweet guy and really deserves to find his forever home and family now. He is 20 weeks old and is very playful and loving. Call if you’re interested in meeting this kitten.
Sig
Sig is a 14-week-old male orange tabby. He is neutered and ready for adoption. Sig is a great kitten, very playful and loving. We’re sure if you meet him, you will want to take him home. He has been at the shelter for 8 weeks and came from a kill shelter.
Hypnos
Looking for a kitten that purrs all of the time, loves to be held like a baby, loves dogs, and is just genuinely sweet? Meet Hypnos! He is 19 weeks old. Hypnos wobbles a little on his hind legs but it certainly doesn’t stop him from playing hard. He has figured out different ways to jump up and jump off things, and he will avoid high areas like counters. He just adores other kittens and cats and would love to go home either with another kitten or to your cat! His wobble may never go away, but he gets better every day!
Olive
Olive is a 6 month old female pot-bellied pig. She is very sweet and loves people of all ages. Olive is potty-pad trained when she is indoors. We will have her spayed at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in October and then she will be ready for adoption. Come by and meet this cute little girl.
Maddie
Maddie came to PAWS from a shelter where she was picked up as a stray. She is about 5 years old and is a Schnauzer. Her mouth and jaw are very infected, and she is in a lot of pain right now. She will have surgery when the infection clears up and will be spayed at that time (roughly 6 months from the end of September). Even though she is in pain, she is always happy and loves to be petted.
