Lloyd is a 1-year-old chill dude who loves affection and especially loves to be brushed. He gets along great with other cats in a free roam room and waits by the door everyday for his own human.

Kyro likes to jump up to say hi as much as he likes long walks. He is a high drive dog so would definitely benefit from some training. He does well in play groups at the shelter, but can be somewhat dog selective. Kyro would do best in a home with no small children and an experienced large dog owner.

Rain is the absolute sweetest dog with people and is a favorite among many volunteers. But he wants nothing to do with other animals, so being in a shelter full of them is clearly stressing him out.
