Adopt a less adoptable pet week: September 19-25

This week is adopt a less adoptable pet week. Less adoptable pets are those pets who get overlooked by most adopters and end up waiting longer for a home. Some get overlooked due to their breed, special needs or appearance.
Here are two of our lovable pets who are waiting for forever homes who will look at the pets we call 'less adoptable' and call them 'perfect' instead!

Joey is a purebred Australian Shepherd. He is about a year old and has been looking for his forever home since July. He came to us matted and overweight but is in great shape now. He loves people of all ages and is smart and learns fast. Joey normally wouldn't be considered hard to place but he needs a home where he is the only dog. Smart dogs like Joey get bored quickly living in a shelter and Joey can't wait for someone to come along and take him home!


Snickers is an adult cat who was found as a stray. He is declawed. He is difficult to place because whoever owned him previously allowed him to become severely obese. He weighed close to 20 pounds when he came to the shelter. Being so overweight puts him at risk for health problems and makes it difficult for him to groom himself. He needs an owner who can commit to helping him lose the weight so he can have a long, healthy life.


Celebrate adopt a less adoptable pet week by coming in to meet these guys or passing the information on to your friends! Lets get these guys out of the shelter and into homes!
