Nakai
Nakai
Greetings! My name is Nakai. I am a handsome eight-year-old neutered male pitbull mix. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they had just had a new baby. I'm a happy boy who should do well around cats. I do get along with some dogs but tend to be a bit dominant so I'll need to meet your own dogs to see if it is a good fit. I do need help learning how to properly walk on a leash and would do best in a family with kids over the age of 10 years. I do appear to be housetrained and would benefit from basic obedience classes to help with leash walking and other manners. I do know many commands including sit, shake, come, stay, down and paw. The shelter techs say that I am a joyful, happy dog who loves to play. I would benefit from a consistent, clear leader who will work on my training. Please stop by the shelter and get to know me. and when I need to control my enthusiasm. I have started attending shelter dog obedience class on Thursday nights - a great start for me. If you are looking for a great hound, please stop by my kennel.

Hey there, I'm Louie. I am very pleased to meet you. Perhaps you will be my new family? I am a three-year-old neutered male cat. The shelter took me in because I had been abandoned in an apartment. I would prefer to be kept as an indoor only cat as it can be scary outside and I'm a bit on the shy side. I do like most other cats and people. The shelter techs say I'm a friendly boy who would make a great companion for you. What do you say? Let's get together!

Hi there, I'm trying to find my forever home. I came to the shelter as a stray from one of the contract towns. My name is Sarah. I am an adult female American cross bunny. I am very, very sweet and very tolerant. I would be a perfect bunny for a family who has kids. Because I'm so tolerant, I should also get along with dogs and cats after the proper introduction. If you would like a very sweet bunny who would love you unconditionally then please stop in for a visit. Till then, I will be waiting for you.
