Thelma and Louise

Two sweethearts, that’s exactly what these kittens are. Both females are about 3 months old, and they love to purr, be held and have fun. Absolutely gorgeous — Louise is stunningly in her jet-black coat, and Thelma is beautiful in her gray and black tabby stripes. These little charmers will fit well into a variety of home settings. When they’re given the love, warmth and stability of a good forever home, these kittens will blossom into a devoted friends, pets and companions.

Remy                                                                   

At approximately 4 years old, this large chocolate bulldog-mix is a happy and friendly fellow. Unfortunately, he does not do well with small animals and livestock, and he will do best as an only dog or adopted with his friend, Meaty, also located at the shelter.

Remy needs owner(s) willing to give him love, attention and lots of consistent exercise in a fenced area or on leash. He deserves a good, loving forever home where he can be a faithful companion and pet.
