Luke
Luke
Hi there, my name is Luke. I am a four-year-old neutered male Boxer. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because I was not getting along with young kids. I should do well with most other dogs and may chase cats for fun, but should settle down with them. I do like kids and am a good-natured dog, however, the kids need to be old enough to assert their dominance in the family pack. Otherwise, I will feel dominant over them. Kids need to be old enough to take charge and let me know who is boss. I am housetrained but do like to get into the trash so you'll need to have garbage in an area where I can't get to it. Basic obedience classes would benefit me by building on my manners and commands, plus they will teach me to walk on a loose leash. The shelter staff says that I have a need for consistent boundaries and rules. I need a family with confident leaders who will not allow me to be pushy or demanding. Let's get together soon. I think we could be very happy together!

Hey there, Johnson here. I am a five-year-old neutered male cat with short black and white hair. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in the town of Lyman. I'm a handsome charmer that would love to join your family. My ideal home would be one where I could be kept indoors. The shelter staff says that I am a very easygoing and lovable boy. Sound good to you? Then let's get together!
Filo and Chip
Filo and Chip
Hey, hey, I'm Filo! I am a six-year-old neutered male ferret with dark sable coloring. Did you know that ferrets can make awesome pets? It's true. I'm a cute little guy that gets along well with cats, dogs, kids and especially other ferrets. My buddy Chip and I were surrendered to the shelter because our previous family had no time for us. We get along really well and would like to be adopted together. Stop by soon and get to know us!
