Maggie
In the harsh weather of last November, Maggie’s people moved and just left her to fend for herself. Sadly, that wasn’t all…. they left her with her tiny kittens to care for. Kindly neighbors brought this sweet young mom cat and her babies into our shelter, where they would be warm and safe.
The weeks passed, and as it so often happens, Maggie’s kittens were all adopted to good homes. This has left this pretty kitty lingering in the shelter, waiting for the time when she to will have her forever home.
Maggie is a lovely tortoiseshell- patterned girl with a short, plush, easy care coat that shines with multiple colors. She was a little shy when she first came to the shelter, but over the months she has been with us, has become much more outgoing and affectionate. She would thrive in a quieter home, and would be a good companion for another cat or gentle dog. Please come and ask to meet this loyal little cat. She deserves and needs a chance to have a better life.
Roxy’s not really serious- she is a clown at heart!!
When people stop by Roxy’s cage to say “hi” to her, they are sometimes fooled by her serious-looking demeanor and intense yellow eyes. While this young Aussie shepherd mix might look very serious, she is in fact a clown that loves people and loves to play!
Spend some time with her and have a toy with you and she is your best friend- she actually is one of those dogs that can smile!
Roxy comes alive with attention, and is a delight to be around. She is extremely intelligent and affectionate, and very trainable and eager to please. Roxy is a great size, is trim, healthy and athletic, and has a bobbed tail and a short, glossy dark pewter colored coat.
This young dog would be an ideal companion for an active person or family. She would probably be happiest being an “only pet”.
Got tennis ball? Going camping? Roxy is the canine companion to make your life more fun!!!
