10 Great Pets in Need of Loving Homes - December 10, 2019

Tobey

These giant ears belong to Tobey! Tobey is a 3-year-old male chihuahua who is ready for his forever home! Tobey is about 20lbs, which is much too large for his little frame! His new owners will need to get him on a diet and exercise program quickly. This shouldn't be hard as Tobey LOVES being outside running around, hanging out with other dogs, and just being active in general.

Tobey is full housebroken, but may mark in a new space. He loves to wander around while outside sniffing everything he can and marking it. He walks really well on a leash and is very easy to control. He can move pretty quickly for a big guy, so he will keep you on your toes.

Rufus

Do you like big mutts with huge smiles? If so, I am your man! Weighing in at 85 lbs of love I am the largest lap dog you could ever hope to meet. Yep, you read that right! I just love to sit in my foster dad's lap. It was love at first sight for me.

At just 3 years old, I am in doggie adolescence. Like all adolescents I need patience and consistent training to mature into the awesome dog I am destined to be.

Sadie

My name is Sadie and I am about 5 years old. I’m a 55 lb pittie mix (I think!) and really want to be your new best friend. I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, including heart worm and flea/tick and I’m already spayed.

I love to play and I have so much energy and really want to be on the trails, out running, or going on adventures! The couch might be my new favorite place when I'm in the house though! I’m okay with the other dogs that live in my foster home.

Shrimp

My name is Shrimp and I am a 5 year old chi mix. Since I weigh only 10 lbs, Shrimp is a pretty apt description.

My foster mom says I am one loveable guy because I can't get enough of kissing, cuddling and lap time. I am fast on my feet and Houdini has nothing on me. A secure yard will be necessary as I am an escape artist! Nudism is my thing. No collars, leashes or harnesses for me. I prefer to go au natural. I am a bit strong-willed. I like to decide when I want attention and affection and whom I want it from. Please don't be presumptuous and pick me up or force your attentions upon me. Reward me for my positive behaviors (and there are many) but if I misbehave, ignore me rather than reprimanding. I really hate scoldings! Does anyone like to be scolded?

Sophia

Have you ever noticed how sometimes it seems like the kitties who come from the most difficult situations are the sweetest? Sophia is no exception! This older (10+ years), long-haired, buff-orange colored girl was rescued from a cat hoarding situation, and needed dental and medical care as a result of the lack of attention over the years.

Now that she's had the dental work, some bloodwork (normal for her age) and had a mass removed and biopsied (also normal), Sophia's looking forward to finding her true fur-ever home where she'll receive the love and care that she deserves.

Zane

Zane is a very good boy who was living outside but has adapted well to being indoors. He's enjoying regular meals, a warm safe place to sleep, and does not tire of receiving cheek scratches and pets. He's got a luxuriously soft coat that is a pleasure to pet. His favorite is being curry combed and melting into a puddle. He likes getting pets in between bites of his food and sometimes expresses his opinion about his food.

He mostly keeps to himself. He is not a lap cat and does not appreciate being picked up. He's very good with his litter box. He prefers it be serviced often and filled with a dust-free litter. He uses the scratching pad and scratching post and never the furniture. He will let you know when he's hungry.

Izzy

Izzy is a two year old silver/gray domestic long hair beauty who was recently surrendered due to some behavioral concerns. Izzy is very lovable and confident in a familiar environment but tends to startle easily and may react defensively. She is currently being cared for in a foster home where she is learning to loosen up and not behave possessively over her caretakers.

When Izzy is comfortable, she loves to play and follow you around everywhere. She enjoys pets and brushes on her own terms unless treats are involved and she isn’t very fond of being picked up. Occasional face and ear scratches are her favorite, never her paws or belly. She loves climbing her cat tree and lounging on comfortable surfaces. Izzy also has a great habit of cleanliness. She maintains her shiny long coat in pristine condition and keeps her litter box tidy.

Boos

Hello! My name is Boos. I'm a 14 year old tuxedo cat, and I'm truly a little gentleman! I love to accompany my people around the house. Wherever you are, that's where I want to be!

I love to be petted, picked up and cuddled, and relax on the couch next to my people. I have a wonderful, loud purr... You can even hear me in the next room!
