Raven

Raven

Outgoing and very affectionate, Raven is always up for a game of ball or just a nice long belly rub. This six-year-old spayed female lab mix absolutely loves car rides, enjoying all the scenic views. Raven's wonderful personality makes her very easy to fall in love with. She takes whatever life throws at her and keeps her head up and her spirits high. Raven does find it difficult to see eye to eye with extremely confident dogs but has made friends with some of our easygoing male dogs. Sharing her previous home with children, Raven enjoys the company of kids over the age of six. She does have slight food aggression, which can be worked with by playing the trade-up game. The staff will give you all the information on this fun game. Felines have not been a part of Raven's previous family and she seems to be overly stimulated by them so we will not be asking her to live with them. Being very high spirited at times, Raven would love daily jogs and games of fetch. Her laid back side can't wait to settle in with her new family and be a treasured addition.


Al and Rob

Al and Rob

With a one-two punch, Al and Rob will add entertainment to any home they enter. These guys were found as strays in one of our contract towns. When they arrived here they were in pretty rough shape and spent two months on different medications trying to clear up various aliments. Al and Rob are extremely friendly guys and very playful, if one is not rubbing on you for attention the other will most certainly be. You may hear some sniffling and snorting from them from time to time, but that is normal for them and there is no reason why they won't live full lives in a loving and nurturing home. Al and Rob insist on going home together because they are the best of friends and have been through so much together. Come by the shelter and spend some time with this duo.

Hugs

Hugs

Greetings, I am Hugs. It's not a very manly name, I know, but hey, I'm just cute and cuddly and don't really mind a name that only adds to my cuteness! I am a five-year-old neutered male albino bunny who was surrendered to the shelter because my previous family was moving. I do have some stained fur because, as I'm sure you know, white is hard to keep clean! The shelter techs and volunteers have been giving me regular baths, which I don't mind at all, and I know I'll be sparkling clean in no time. I am very friendly and would prefer to be an indoor-only bunny. What do you say? Think I could join your family? Please stop by to meet me! To learn more about having me live with you, you can go to http://www.rabbit.org/.
