Hi there, Leelou here, ready to meet my new family! I'm an adorable three-year-old spayed female shepherd mix. I'm a petite girl that is always happy to see you. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because I was not getting along with the younger child in the home. I may chase cats at first but should settle down with a confident, dog savvy cat. I also get along with most dogs after the proper introduction. I can be a bit possessive of my food, so because of this, I would prefer to live with kids over the age of 10 years. The shelter staff can show you the trade-up game, which will help me realize that I don't have to protect my food. I do appear to be housetrained as well. Basic obedience classes are recommended to help with general commands and also with forming the dog/family bond with my new family. The shelter staff says that I need an active home life so that I can burn off all my energy. I know I can make a great addition to your family if you'll just stop by to meet me!

Hey hey, Lester here. I am a handsome seven-year-old neutered male cat with short orange tabby and white hair. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in the town of Lebanon. I get along well with other cats and should adjust into my new home pretty easily. The shelter staff says I'm a sweet and gentle boy. I cannot wait to get to know my new family. Won't you please visit the shelter soon?

Blue and Stripes
Greetings, we're Blue and Stripes. We are two female six-month-old guinea pig sisters. Blue has black and white hair and Stripes has tan and white. Our previous family surrendered us to the shelter because of allergies. We're friendly little girls who want nothing more than a safe and warm home with a loving family. We can't wait to find new companions that will give us the love and affection we deserve. Please stop by soon!
