Searching for a new dog is exciting and frustrating and we were looking for a smaller dog. I got approved pretty fast but the dog at the shelter did not like my male dog at all. This was about 8 months ago. I decided I wanted another young dog but I had pretty definite size requirements. I did have to reapply. At the beginning of the week there were 2 little dogs but they got adopted quickly. I emailed to cancel because we cant take a larger dog and she requested just to keep my appointment because she had some "littles" coming in. She emailed me the next night with pics of a chihuahua spaniel mix and we had a meet and greet and took her home the next day. The level of communication was excellent, she isn't fixed but they will take care of that and her heartworm test next week. (She was wild at the time of intake) . We have named her Sable aka Sebby and she has fit right in. She is about a year old, and the perfect size for us. She loves going for walks, is a lover (licking machine!) and enjoys playing with toys. The staff here will work with you regarding your pet preferences. Be patient and you will find the companion youre looking for. Highly recommend. Pics of Sebby passed out after her first day and just looking cute.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hairless cats are extremely rare breed. They are rarely surrendered and tend to be adopted very quickly. But the humane society may have short haired cats that could suit your needs.

How much are the puppies for the holiday tomorrow Saturday 8-18-18? I caught the tail end of the news broadcast on channel 6 today at noon. It's the holiday sale and I didn't catch the prices. Can someone help me out?

gina lockwood | Sep 28, 2018

Thanks Ranjan I know what you are saying I miss having a puppy. Recently I had to put my dog of 10 years down, due to health problems. I live on a super tight budget and at the end of the month I don't have $200 for the adoption fee. I'm a US Navy veteran but I also have health problems. One of them is severe depression and I know the one thing that will help exponentially is a New puppy. I have a doctor's prescription for a dog to help my depression. The only way I can get a puppy is to skip paying a bill. Wish me luck in fulfilling my dream of getting a new puppy.

Can you bring your kittens in to get vaccines and spayed/neutered?

Lyssa Floehr | Sep 28, 2018
Karen Weiser | Sep 28, 2018

It's always a good idea to have your cat vaccinated prior to the surgery. They will also do blood draws, at a small additional fee to make sure your kitty is healthy. The vaccines and blood draws can be done at their low cost clinic on Tuesdays from 8:30 AM- 1:30 PM. No appointment is necessary for the exam and vaccines. However, you will have to make an appointment for the spay/neuter.
