Cowboy

Our Cowboy is a big, beautiful boy! Not only is he easy on the eyes, but he is a friendly and fun guy. Give him attention — affectionate talk, petting with tummy rubs, cuddles and coos and he will demonstrate his love. This exotic, gray, longhair-mix has some Maine Coon in his genes, which shows in the length of his coat, long ear tufts and a large body. At 1 year old, he will fit well in a variety of good forever home situations. Come meet Cowboy, he is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Strap

Our Strap is a strapping fellow with lots of friendly personality and intelligence. He’s a handsome 1-year-old, American terrier, pit bull–mix, with a shorthair black/brown brindle and white coat. An attentive, inquisitive people lover, Strap needs a good forever home with an owner willing to ensure Strap receives attention, daily exercise in a fenced area or on a leash and basic obedience training. Come meet Strap — spend a little time with him and see for yourself what a fine canine he is. Strap is available through Saturday at the shelter.
