Hey hey, I'm Tank. I am a two-year-old male Rottweiler/golden retriever mix. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they could no longer keep me. I'm a very handsome boy who is not suitable for a home with cats, because I am too interested in them. I do like most other dogs after the proper introduction, but will need to be fed separately due to some food aggression issues. The shelter staff can show you a trade-up game to help with that. My ideal home would have children over the age of 12 because of the food issues and the fact that I am mouthy during play. I do appear to be housetrained and would benefit from basic obedience classes to help with manners, commands and leadership. The shelter staff says I'm a great boy who needs a consistent and confident leader. Obedience classes will do wonders for me and I know I can mature into a wonderful companion for you! Let's get together!

Hello there, Gretta here. I am a one-and-a-half-year-old female cat with short black and white markings. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in one of the contract towns. I get along well with other cats and have even stayed in one of the shelter community rooms for a while. I'm a very playful girl who is also extremely loving. Are you looking for a fun and outgoing cat? Look no further! You've found your girl right here!
Peanut and Cashew
Peanut and Cashew
Well, hi - Peanut and Cashew here! We are adult female guinea pigs with tri-colored hair. Our previous family surrendered us to the shelter because they had too many. Now we're on the lookout for a new loving family. Think you could help us out? We are adorable, inquisitive and social girls who get along well together. We would like to find a family that can give us plenty of love, time and attention. Think we could be a match? Please visit us soon!
