Pets

Four-year-old Janet is a spunky girl. She has an outgoing
personality. She will slap you to play, but no claws are used. She
appears to be one of those really fun cats who will play
hide-and-go-seek with you and chase you around the house.

You can watch a video of Appear on youtube. Two-year-old Appear
is a loving dog that needs a dependable home. He had been to the
shelter on two occasions when he was found roaming the neighborhood. He
was recently left in our dog run and his owner did not come for him. He
was very scared being left in the starnge place overnight so he was not
happy when the staff arrived to bring him inside. Once he realized we
knew him and called him by his name he began to beg for attention. He
enjoys playing with a rope toy but refuses to give it up so tug of war
is probably not the best game to play with him, he can entertain
himself with it. He knows some basic commands and should be reminded
not to jump up to give kisses. He should live with a mature family.

You can see Stacia's video on youtube. One-year-old
Stacia is a lovely girl that is a bit temperamental. She loves
attention but becomes overstimulated quickly so she should live with
someone that is experienced with cats. She does not like other animals.

Two-year-old Major has no place to live. His owner had him

enjoys atttention and is eager to please.
