Kymm is a 10-month-old who definitely needs an experienced home with no kids. Kymm has a ton of energy, but unfortunately, she was never taught her kitty manners, as she likes to playfully bite and scratch. Kymm still has a lot of growing to do, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need a home with lots of love and patience. Kymm surely has her pros. She loves to play with other active kitty friends and she loves toys.

Check out this handsome Belgian Malinois, Aaron. He's only 1 year old and came in as a stray. Aaron is handsome, smart and playful, and he gets along with other dogs. Belgian Malinois are a lot of dog to handle. Although Aaron is one of the best-behaved boys, he still will need an experienced home that understands his breed.

Meet Koda, a super sweet puppy that's 4 months old. She's beautiful and sweet, but she is often passed by for a more desired breed. Koda is a Lab/pitbull mix who was living on the streets before she came to the shelter, but is honestly a wonderful girl.
