Rocky
Rocky
Hello there, my name is Rocky. I am an 11-year-old neutered male mixed breed dog. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because of allergies. Now I'm looking for a family where I will not make people sneeze. I'm a great boy who likes most other dogs after the proper introduction. I am, however, too interested in cats and small animals and should not go into a home with them. I'm an older boy who likes kids, but would appreciate living with kids over the age of eight who know when to give me my space and let me rest. I do appear to be housetrained and have not shown any signs of possessiveness of food or toys. I would benefit from basic obedience classes to help with general manners and commands. Plus, they are a lot of fun and good exercise. The shelter staff says I'm a nice older dog who would also do well in an adult only home where I can relax and live out my retirement years in peace and love. Please visit me soon.
Gavin
Gavin
Well hi there, my name is Gavin. I am a five-year-old male cat with short black hair. My previous family surrendered me to the ACO and I was then brought to the shelter. I'm a handsome boy that is a bit on the shyer side, but still quite the charmer. I enjoy the company of other cats and would prefer to be an indoor-only kitty. The shelter staff says I'm a wonderful boy that will benefit from a quiet and loving family. Please come by and see me soon.
Moe
Moe
Aren't I just irresistible? I think I'm the cutest guinea pig here. Wouldn't you agree? I came to the shelter due to my family moving. I would love to find a new home with a family to love me. Could it be with you? My name is Moe and I'm a year old. My favorite thing is coming out of the cage. How I love to run loose and just hang out. I have lived with cats and get along fine with them as long as they are nice. If you think you have room in your home for a guy like me, please stop by.
