Dora

Dora

Hi there, I'm Dora, and I am a four-year-old female Jack Russell terrier. I arrived here at the shelter because I was a stray in one of the shelters contract towns. If you are not familiar with my breed I suggest you read up on it; if not, I will give you a run for your money. I may be small but I am a little ball of energy and I love to exercise. If you spend a lot of time with me outside taking me for long walks and throwing a tennis ball for me I know we will soon become best friends. Once in your home I could use a refresher course on housetraining. I would prefer to live with kids over the age of 10 and no cats or small animals; after all, I was bred to get small animals. I can do okay with some dogs and I would love to meet yours, if you have one, here at the shelter before you take me home. I know a couple of commands and would love to go through an obedience class here at the shelter with you. Hopefully I will see you soon!


Egypt

Egypt

Hi! I'm Egypt. It's an easy name to remember, don't you think? It's pretty neat to be able to say that I'm named after a country where pharaohs and sphinxes used to live. I came to shelter as a stray from the town of Lyman. I know it is hard to believe an adorable girl like me is homeless. I am an eight-year-old girl who loves to be petted and will flip over on my side just so you can continue to pet me. I purr ever so lightly, too. I get along with some cats and should do fine in a home that has gentle children. When you come to visit you may notice that I am missing some fur. It looks funny, I know. I have some skin issues, which the staff members here can explain to you. I would really love to find a home where I can be loved for what a great girl I am. Come for a visit and take me home!

Sebastian

Sebastian

Hey hey, Sebastian here. I'm an adorable one-year-old young man with short black and silver hair. I'm a neutered male bunny who is Mr. Independent. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because I was not getting along with the other bunny in the home. Sometimes we just don't hit it off with each other, you know? I'm an indoor-only boy who can't wait to find my forever home. Let's get to know one another and begin our new life together!
