Bo is a 6-year-old gentle fluff ball looking for a quiet home to call his own. This handsome boy is very chill, but does get a little nervous, so would do best in a home with older kids that know not to chase cats. Who can blame him, after being dumped, threatened to be shot and then having emergency surgery for bladder stones? He has recovered and is on a special diet that he would need to stay on to prevent urinary issues.
Mark is a 4-year-old Lab looking for a very special home. He was quickly adopted, but ran away as he can get spooked easily. Mark was relinquished back to us and adopted again and developed anxiety whenever his mom left her home. Mark will need a very dedicated home with lots of patience. He will always be a flight risk, so a secure 6-foot fence is required for him. Mark would also do best in a home without other dogs or children.
Rima is a unique looking kitty with her orange and black face and half tail. She is very sweet and loving, but she lets you know when she’s had enough. Her ideal home would be where she is the only pet and no children. She loves to rub up against the cage for attention, but she would be much happier rubbing up against your leg!

Reece is a 4-year-old female terrier who is an energetic, playful, strong and goofy girl that loves to play with her toys. When she is not playing, she can be laid back and relaxed. She loves to be around people and her tail is always wagging.
