A post a day gets Aeros a home to stay! Day 116. Now that Akos has found a home, Aeros is our longest term resident. Let’s share this post to find Aeros a home!

Meet Aeros!
Age: 5 year old German Shepherd mix
S*x: Male
Weight: around 50lbs
Personality and Behavior: Aeros is very sweet and likes attention. He loves head scratches but is also content doing his own thing. He loves to play with and chew on toys. He is good on the leash and will sit for a treat! He is on the calmer side at the shelter, but does get the zoomies when he’s excited. He is overall a very good boy!
Dogs: He gets along with most dogs, but has had issues with other dominant male dogs. If you have another dog, please bring them in for a meet and greet.
Children: We think he would do fine with children, but meet and greets are always recommended.
Cats/livestock: He would do best in a home without cats and/or livestock.

If you would like to meet Aeros, please stop by or call the shelter!

✨ Special Kitty Spotlight: Oz! ✨

Oz, The Longteef Wonder Cat… this dude is pretty cool! He arrived at the shelter with terrible skin issues, which staff have worked hard to alleviate. Oz is FIV+ but is otherwise healthy and happy. FIV is a misunderstood condition and because of that, FIV+ cats have a harder time getting adopted. Oz was already neutered (and has a cute lil ear tip to show for it!) so his adoption fee is just $20.

Check out this great resource to help demystify FIV: https://ontariospca.ca/blog/positive-doesnt-need-to-be-negative-adopting-and-living-with-an-fiv-positive-cat/

Please share this post and help us find Oz the loving home he deserves!

Meet Homer! Homer is a 1 year old neutered male. He came in with a couple other dogs 48 days ago as a stray. When Homer first got here he was scared of the leash and of us, but he has made so much improvement. He now gets excited to see staff/volunteers and is a lot better about being leashed. He is super sweet and a happy boy who loves to run around the play yards. He likes head scratches and giving kisses. He may still be shy around new people, and doesn’t always show well in his kennel, so please give him a chance outside of his kennel! He came in with other dogs, but meet and greets are always recommended. To meet Homer please call the shelter!

Our sweet Nala is sponsored for the rest of January, meaning her adoption is completely covered by Ward Plumbing, Heating & Air, no cost to you!

Nala can be a bit nervous at first but give her some time and treats and you'll be on head scritch duty almost immediately. She loves hanging out in the play yards and saying hello to our other pups through the fence. Her extremely floofy coat keeps her nice and insulated in this cold weather, and makes her super soft to pet!

Come say hi to Nala during open hours this week at 84 Green Energy Park Rd, or call us at 828 586 6138 and schedule a Meet 'n' Greet!

Meet Ripp! Ripp is a 4 year old neutered male. Ripp came in as a stray 90 days ago. He can be a little intimidating and wary of new people. He doesn’t show well in his kennel, but once out of the play yards he is very friendly and toy motivated. He does okay on the leash, but he is strong. He loves to be in the play yards and is friendly towards some dogs through the fence. He seems to be dog selective, so meet and greets are highly recommended. If you would like to meet Ripp, please call the shelter!

Meet Jewel! Jewel is a 4 year old spayed female who weighs 26 lbs. She came to us as a stray 95 days ago. She is very sweet and affectionate. When you are in the play yards with her she just wants to be with you. She likes treats and doesn’t care about toys. She seems to like other dogs through the fence, but meet and greets are always recommended. If you would like to meet Jewel, please call the shelter!

Jewel is heartworm positive, and what that means is she will need continued treatment after adoption. Do not let this deter you from adopting as it is treatable, but this is why heartworm preventative is so important! For more information on this process, please stop by or call the shelter.
