Priscilla is a beautiful, adult, female Tortoiseshell who was recently picked up as a stray. She has a sweet disposition, gets along well with other cats and likes people. She loves to perch herself up on your shoulder and will stay there until you decide to put her down. She is just longing for a nice lap to sit in. If you are looking for a cat with a mellow personality who will make a nice companion, please stop by the shelter to meet her.

The shelter recently received a litter of six adorable Shepherd mix puppies at the shelter. They are about 10 weeks old, and are all quite different. Two have very long coats while the other four have coats of a short to medium length. The two males are black and white, the females are brindle, tan, black, white and brown. They are all loveable and playful and have great personalities. If you are looking for a new family pet, please stop by and check them out.
