*I am currently in foster* Hi there! I am a sweetie, affectionate kitty who is looking for a patient person(s) to live with. I need a little patience while I get to know you because I was a stray and new places scare me. I hide when I am afraid. |
Guinea pigs can live over five years, and they require a large cage with a hiding shelter, hay, a water bottle and food bowl, proper bedding, and toys. Guinea pigs are social little animals that need the company of another guinea pig of the same sex, so this is something to keep in mind. They love interaction from you, and many enjoy being held and cuddled. Guinea pigs need vitamin C supplementation alongside their diet of guinea pig pellets, hay, treats, veggies, and fruits.
Adoption Fee: $20.00
Rabbits can live over ten years, require space and commitment, and can be costly. They are social animals who want your attention and who each have their own personalities. Rabbits are fragile and have delicate spines, so their owner must be educated on proper rabbit handling. Because of this, rabbits do best with adults and older children.
Rabbits need a large cage with a hide shelter, water bottle and food bowl, toys like balls and chew sticks, and a hay rack. They can be litter box trained, which means they also need a litter box. A healthy rabbit’s diet consists of 80% hay with timothy, grass, and oat hays for older rabbits and alfalfa hay for young rabbits. Rabbits also need a large variety of vegetables and greens, a limited amount of rabbit food pellets, and the very occasional sugary treat like carrots or berries.
Rabbits get bored just like the rest of us, and enjoy ripping up newspaper and playing with cardboard boxes and toilet paper rolls. Rabbits can be messy and enjoy rearranging their cages exactly how they like it! They need room to roam and exercise outside of their cage each day, but it is very important to rabbit-proof your home areas before letting the rabbit out. They love to chew on wires and destroy paperwork, and should always be supervised.
Adoption Fee: $35.00
Our bunnies are for indoors only. Adoption includes their neuter and microchip.

Hamsters make great pets for older children or adults. Syrian hamsters are more tolerant and loveable. Dwarf hamsters can be more sensitive and fun to just watch. Hamsters require decent size wire cages or large tanks with a lid that allows for airflow. They should be on paper based bedding (no wood bedding with oils, like pine or cedar). Hamsters can eat a good quality, hamster specific seed mix with supplemental snacks like cheerios, whole wheat pasta, fresh fruits and veggies, and even some hay to nibble on. Hamsters require lots of chew toys to keep their teeth short and a wheel to run on and get their exercise. Water bottles are a must as water bowls would get too dirty. Hamsters like to burrow into their bedding, so hidey houses and deep substrate are a good idea so they can make themselves comfortable while they sleep during the day. Hamsters are solitary creatures and should not be housed together.

Hello I’m Catniss! I am a darling girl looking to find my forever home. I love to be active, to run and play, so I’d really like a home with a fenced yard so I can burn off all my energy! I don’t want to live with little kids or cats; I’ve just never been a kid or cat type of dog, you know? I would love to have a home where someone is home a good bit; people are my absolute favorite. Sometimes when I’m alone, I get very sad and lonely. I do ADORE playing with toys…but a little too much; I sometimes eat them…the really nice stuffed ones…so I need a family who is going to be sure I have the right toys to play with. I can be pretty picky when it comes to making dog-friends, so I’ll need to meet any dogs I might be living with. Ultimately I have a huge heart filled with love, and no one to share it with. I’ve been at the shelter for a while now…but I know my forever family is out there. Is it you? Come meet me at the shelter today!

Hello! Let me introduce myself – my name is Duke. I have been at the shelter since June and it is time that I find my forever home. My new home must be a dog experienced home who is willing to invest their time and energy in to me. There is a lot of energy in this body of mine and I need to work with my new owner to develop enrichment protocols and games so that I may not only tire out my body but also use my brain. Currently, because I am so excited over food and people, a teen to adult home is required. Also, I seem to like other dogs, but initially I need to learn to control myself because no other dogs want to play with me – it seems I need to learn “dog language”. My new family must be willing to work with me – rule of thumb is it will take me as many days as I have been in the shelter to decompress in your home. Which means I will need crate time, training time, enrichment time and learning to be a dog time. If you are willing to make this committment in me – come ask to meet with me at the shelter.
