Howdy, I'm Stella. I'm a beautiful four-year-old spayed female pitbull. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because their other dog would pick fights with me and made me unhappy. I'm a sweet girl who is definitely on the nervous side. I'm still a bit unsure about what life is going to bring next. Do you know that feeling? I have lived previously with five cats and should do well with them. I also like most other dogs - as long as they like me - after the proper introduction. I have previously lived with young children, but can go home with them in my new family on a case-by-case basis. I'm a shyer girl who may not enjoy living with louder, more rambunctious kids. I'm nervous in new situations and when meeting new people, so my family will need to be understanding of this. I do appear to be housetrained and would benefit from basic obedience classes to help with confidence building and socialization. Plus, the classes are a lot of fun and help me to learn to trust you. The shelter techs say that I'm a loving girl who just needs a calm, quiet and loving family to help me bloom into the beautiful blossom I can be.
Sushi
Sushi
I think I have the coolest name in the entire universe. One that isn't hard to remember. Hi, I'm Sushi. Don't you think that is the coolest name? It is perfect for me as I'm a cool cat. I am an eight-year-old male who has been neutered. I came to the shelter because I didn't get along with the other cats in the household. It does happen, just like some people don't like certain people, it is the same for us cats. I would really love to be the only cat in the household. That way I can shower you will all sorts of affection. In my previous home I was allowed to go outside. If you are looking for a cool cat, then don't waste another moment come visit me and let me show you just how really cool I am! Then we can go home together!

Hi there, my name is Stamp. I'm an adorable one-year-old female rabbit. I'm a lionhead mix breed; see the longer hair around my neck and head? Doesn't it sort of look like a lion's mane? I'm also an albino bunny, which means I lack pigmentation and have white hair and pink eyes. The shelter took me in after I was found left in the mailbox of local animal control officer. Now I'm in search of a loving family who has time to love and care for me. Won't you please stop by and get to know me?
