Meet Meadow! She enjoys her hay and will come up to you for a treat, especially banana chips or hay treats! She is very easy to care for, litter box trained, and is used to having some room to roam and hop around. She has lived with other rabbits before. She would be an excellent pet for a child or adult who is committed to caring for bunnies!

Terry is a truly special dog, full of energy and a wonderfully goofy personality! This boy is an absolute social butterfly who thrives on interaction and attention, happily charming both men and women with his friendly demeanor.

One of Terry’s best qualities is his intense motivation. He is highly driven by both toys and treats, which makes training exciting and fun! Terry absolutely LOVES TOYS—they are the key to his heart and a great way to keep him happily occupied. Because he's so motivated by food, he can be quite curious about counters, and he might even be tempted to counter surf for a snack, so secure food storage will be important!

Terry does well wearing an Easy Walk Harness on walks, which is helpful because he is very curious and tends to pull toward things he finds interesting. He's a good passenger in the car, though he might try to sneak into the passenger front seat for a better view!

Terry is looking for a loving family ready to welcome him into their home, keeping in mind a few requirements: he would do best with children aged 10 and up, he needs a home where he will not be around livestock, and he should not be housed with unaltered male dogs.

If you're ready for a lively, friendly, and affectionate companion, Terry is waiting to meet you!

Wave hello to Gallaudet! This young man is Deaf, walks great on leash (usually), and loves to play with other dogs. He doesn't always get the hint when a dog doesn't want to play with him, so living with tolerant yet confident dogs would be ideal. He has been working hard on his manners, but isn't at a point where he and tiny humans would mesh well. Come see for yourself how great Gally is at our Division St location!

Don’t let her age fool you—Bella is bursting with energy and absolutely loves to play! She has a gentle, sweet personality and gets along wonderfully with both kids and adults. Bella would do best as your one-and-only fur-baby, as she can get a little too excited around other dogs and cats. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to bring endless joy to your home, Bella is ready to meet you!

Meet Troy Barkin! He is the sweetest most loving pup. He is very well behaved and housebroken. He loves children and other dogs. He is extremely affectionate and aims to please. He loves to cuddle and go on walks or car rides but just as happy laying out in the sun enjoying a bone or treat. He would make a great family pet to any type of family (large or small) as long as he is not left alone for long periods. He would do better with a family that has another dog to keep him company if left alone during the day.
