Greetings, I'm Tracker. I am a three-year-old spayed female beagle. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they did not have time for my training. I'm an adorable girl who should do well with cats and also with most dogs after the proper introduction. I would also prefer to live with kids over the age of six years who will respect the fact that I do not like having my feet touch. I have been crate trained but will need help with housetraining to prevent the occasional accident in the house. Since I'm a smaller dog, I need to go to the bathroom more frequently. Beagles are also known for being a wee bit stubborn when it comes to training. Basic obedience classes are recommended to help with basic manners and commands. The shelter staff says I'm a very nice dog who would do best in a family with beagle experience. If you fit that description, why not stop by to visit me? See you soon!

When I was posing for my picture I was thinking about how I'm homeless. How I have nobody to love. I know my picture makes me look like I'm grumpy, but really I'm sad because I have nobody to love. I have a really cool name, one that you won't forget because it is similar to a candy bar. Hi there, I'm Kit Kat. I'm a super sweet girl who is looking for someone to love. Could it be you? I came to the shelter due to my family moving. I get along with other cats, kids, men and women. I am a spayed female who is six years old. I love to play, sit in laps, be brushed and, of course, to be petted! Plus I just really enjoy catnip. If you pet me under my chin, I will purr ever so lightly. Do you have room in your heart and home for a girl like me? I sure do hope so. Please come and visit soon so I can show you just how very sweet I am!

Howdy, Chip here. I am an older girl, an approximately seven-year-old spayed female ferret with silver coloring. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they could no longer care for me. I'm looking for a loving home where I can live out my retirement years and enjoy the finer things in life. I get along well with other ferrets here at the shelter and would most likely get along with any that you have at home too. Please visit me soon. I know we'll hit it off!!
