"Don't I remind you of Scooby-Doo? I have a very tragic backstory: I was shot and left at a dead-end street to die. How horrible is that? Well, I'm happy to report that I have come a long way since then, showing Caitlin and the staff that I'm actually a pretty happy guy despite my struggles. I finally smiled for the first time last Wednesday and have shown how happy, friendly, and welcoming I am! However, I cannot under any circumstances go to a home with cats, kids, or other dogs. The staff do not know my triggers, so if you take me home, please be cautious if I snap at you or bark. If you think you have the time and patience to help me adjust to my fur-ever home, see me here!"

"I'm a seriously shy but curious guy who lives in the feral room. I am afraid of you if you approach me but am very curious about getting to know you! When Caitlin reached her hand out to pet me, I sniffed it out of curiosity but was too scared to come out and say hello! I'm a really pretty cat, as you can see, and would just need a patient owner who is willing to give me time to warm up to you. If you think you are willing to put in the work, check me out here!"

"My past has been pretty difficult which has affected my overall behavior. My previous owners crated me, even though I told them that I didn't want to be in there, and they continued to crate me despite my pleas! They did potty-train me, teach me a few tricks, and teach me how to walk on a leash properly, plus I know the basics like, sit, stay, and shake. I'm an incredibly affectionate dog who can be very timid and underfoot. I have chronic nose and ear infections that will need to be treated with monthly medications. However the cost, I will be well worth it! Read more about my story here!"

"I'm clever and curious because I love to bolt out of the door, search new places, avoid covered litter boxes, and am picky about my food choices! I've had two homes already so I'm ready for my perfect human to come and sweep me off my feet! Will that be you? Learn more here!"

"I'm a very happy girl who is fantastic with children, great in the car, and on a leash. I have a lot of energy so I will need a daily dose or two of exercise and playtime. I'm very gentle and patient with children so I would fit in with almost any situation. If you think I sound like the dog for you, check me out here!"

"I am in a foster home living my best life and am opening up for my foster parents! I have shown them that I have a curious side, exploring their home and climbing up on high objects. I would prefer to be the only cat in the home. If I sound like a match, check me out at the shelter!"
