Our Featured Pets
Momcat
#760
One-and-a-half-year-old Momcat was noticed last year when she brought her kittens to the front door of one of the shelters Humane Commissioners. She was brought into the house and allowed to nurse her babies in the comfort of a home. Her kittens were brought to the shelter and found new homes. Momcat stayed in the home. Due to some medical problems with her "Hu-mom", Momcat could not be cared for properly so she was brought to the shelter a few weeks ago. She is awaiting another loving home.
MJ

Remo
#47
Check out Remo's video on youtube. Seven-year-old Remo is a quiet boy that was found as a stray...he would love a new home where he can cuddle with his new family. He enjoys going for a romp and will chase a squeaky toy. He is an aboslute lover of people that greets you with a grin.
Lady #20
Check out Lady's video on youtube. UPDATE !!!!! LADY FINALLY GOT A NEW HOME!!!!!!!Three-year-old Lady was abandoned by her owner when she developed an unknown illness. She was left to roam until a concerned family member requested our help. She was brought to the shelter where she was nursed back to health and is now full of energy and ready for a new home. She is easily trained. She walks well on a leash but will pull at times. She is tolerable of other dogs but is very dominant and easily on guard and ready to fight if she feels the other dog is trying to intimidate her. She should live in a single pet home.
