Tango
Tango
Buenos Dias! Tango here, a one-year-old mixed breed dog. I was surrendered to the shelter because there was a new baby in the house. I am looking for a barrio to call my own. I get along with other perros after a proper introduction. I will only be placed in a casa that has no children. I am a good-looking dog who does not need any adorno to show you how good I am. I appear to be house trained and have not shown possessiveness over food or toys. I have been dancing my way through the shelter dog obedience classes on Thursday nights with various volunteer partners who have been working on basic obedience and basic agility moves. I love to saltito over the plastic jumps! I would really like to continue my obedience work with my new family and learn even more moves. In class we even do musical chairs, my favorite! I have a high energy level, which leaves lots of room on my dance card for activities such as playing ball, jogging with a compadre and otherwise having fun with my family. Let's habanera out of the shelter to our new life together!
Daffy
Daffy
Hey there, my name is Daffy. I am an adult spayed female kitty with medium-length black hair. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they could no longer afford my care. I'm a great girl that gets along well with dogs and has an independent and friendly personality. I'm also a calm girl that would love to meet you soon. Let's get together!
Spike
Spike and Hank
Greetings! My name is Spike. I bet you can tell how I got my name. Doesn't my hair look all spiky? I'm a handsome, adult male guinea pig with unusual taupe colored hair. I'm a shyer boy that is looking for lots of love and attention from my new family. Regular handling will help me to become more friendly and outgoing. My previous family surrendered Hank and me to the shelter because they could not keep us. We would love to stay together and find a family that will adopt us both. Please stop by and we'll get to know one another!
