"Hi, guys! I'm just adorable, aren't I? My puppy was taken and adopted, but I'm still here waiting for a home. I'm a Chihuahua Daschund mix and am just as sweet as can be. When Caitlin leaned down to pet me, I rolled over on my belly and begged for scratches! I don't like being put in a small room by myself and would really love it if I could free-roam your home. I can be a bit timid when meeting people at first, but if I am comfortable with you, my tail will be wagging out of excitement. I don't like being held for long periods of time but am okay if you pick me up for a little bit. Please take me home, here!"

"You wouldn't know it, but I'm actually a full-grown cat. I am very affectionate and can usually be seen taking a nap. I can be a tiny bit playful, but you need to instigate it with one of the wand toys in the room. Make me yours, here!"

"I need a family with a home and a large back yard for me to run and play in. I'd also like a family who has time to play with me! I am a very sweet girl who will fit best into an active family.

"I am a mature and refined fellow who needs a family who is okay with grooming me at least twice a week, cleaning off my face twice a day, and getting me professionally groomed every few months. Since I'm a refined gentleman, I take a lot of daily naps and beg for your attention when I am good and ready. Groom me forever, here!"

"I may be cute with that adorable cheeky little smile, but I have a lot of energy wrapped up into one big body. You see, I was returned to the shelter because I jumped up on my owner, out of excitement, and scratched up her arms. They took the time to potty-train me, so you won't have to worry about that, but you will have to be able to handle me. I need a lot of obedience-training, exercise, playtime, and a big yard to run in. One of the nice ladies at the shelter has been working with me for a long time, and I have come a long way! She says that I am "such a sweetie" and am responding to my training well! I have a lot of energy so I need an owner who can handle me! You can read more about me here!"

"How handsome am I? I love to be petted as much as I can and would really love a family who doesn't mind having a kitty who follows you around, begs for snuggles, and talks to you. The staff at the shelter love me and say that whoever comes to rescue me will be very lucky! Consider me here!"
