Pet of the Month

Introducing Petie...

Meet Petey! He is a purebred Poodle and is 15 yrs old (as of 5/7). He may be 15, but he doesn't look it or act it. He is a lively little guy. He is totally adorable with his chocolate colored coat and those distinctive ears. The staff has affectionately nicknamed him Yoda. He is a tiny and sweet dog. Even though he may not have had a very good home most of his life, you would not know that from his personality. He is friendly and thrives when you give him attention. We already had him neutered and he came through that without any problems. He has lost several teeth, but still eats without any problems. Petey is a unique little guy who will be a loving friend. Petey is in foster care, so please call before coming to meet him.

    Many of the animals that come into the shelter each year touch our lives. They all have their own individual personalities and their own needs – but all of them have a lot to give in return. There are some stories, however, that stand above the others in the degree to which they have impacted the lives and hearts of the shelter's staff and volunteers. Check out our other website below to read more about these special animals.
