Will You Consider Adopting Cute Little Artemis?

Artemis, a sweet baby female calico tabby born around April 17, 2012. She currently lives with a loving foster family where she's learning to be a great house cat. She enjoys playing with other cats and chasing her toy mouse. Artemis really loves taking long relaxing naps after watching birds and squirrels from her favorite spot at the window. She is patiently waiting for that special forever home and would make a great addition to your family. Give Artemis a chance!

Mama Macy is a Lab born on Sept. 5, 2010. Mama who is sweet, docile, loving, gentle and comes when u call her, recently had eight puppies. She loves to lie on her back have her belly rubbed. She also had her first walk at the park on a leash and did okay. She plays with her pups and is still loving to them. She only barks when she senses an animal, person or if a car comes up the driveway. She is not an obnoxious barker.

Marmy is an orange female short hair tabby born around Nov. 1, 2002. She currently lives at the adoption center with lots of kitty roommates. Originally, she was found starving, afraid, and hungry with her four kittens in an abandoned house. A realtor found them and took them to a kill shelter. Luckily, they were rescued again by the wonderful people at the Humane Society (a "no kill" shelter). Marmy is an easygoing kitty that gets along well with everyone. She likes it when visitors come to pet and play and hand out treats. It's been said that orange cats are the smartest. Three of the kittens were adopted which is wonderful news, but Marmy and her last kitten, a female named Special are left. The two are always together and are the best of friends; will you consider adopting both mom and daughter? It would be heartbreaking to separate the two.

Summer is a female French bulldog-mix with an estimated birthdate of Jan. 2, 2009. She was abandoned at a boarding facility where her family never came back to get her. She is sweet and really coming out of her shell. She would prefer not to share her home with children. She will need someone with lots of love and attention to give.
