Pet of the Day: Flash

Flash is an awesome guy that has been in the shelter too long, and it is his turn to shine. He is a super sweet guy that has not an aggressive bone in his body. He is approximately 2-3 years old, and he gets along great with other dogs.

Flash is sweet, kind, and in need of a good home. Come see him down at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter!

As an added bonus, he is also sponsored at 50 percent off!

Pet of the Day: Shania

Submitted

Shania is a sweet tortie point polydactyl (yes extra toes!) that has been at the shelter far longer than we would have imagined.

She has stunning eyes in multiple shades of blue and an amazing overall look. We still can’t figure out why no one has snapped her up yet. She’s gorgeous and has a good personality.

Come see her today and change her world. [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: Barry

Submitted

Barry was surrendered with two much younger siblings, and he is not taking shelter life too well. He’s sad and scared, but sweet and likes to be petted.

We think in a loving home he will come out of his shell and be the awesome cat we know he is. For now, though, he is sitting and making himself small. He is not mean, but he is too scared right now to do much more than lay against the wall of his cage and stare at you with sad eyes. [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: McRay

Submitted

I was saying to myself just this morning, “McRay,” I said, “McRay, you know what you need? You need a person all your own.” So I sat down to write this post for the nice shelter volunteers because apparently that’s the kind of thing they do—find nice people for extremely intelligent and lovable, slightly adorable kitties who are…I shudder to type this…LAPLESS. That’s right: I have no lap to call my own. Could you be persuaded to volunteer yours?

I am sponsored at 50 percent!—DZ [Read more…]

Hello there…my name is Corky.

I am one beautiful cat that lost my home recently, along with several of my siblings. It was so sad for me and my family, and now we are all being split up. I am close to my sibling Sugar, and it would be really special if you could adopt us together.

I have been taken good care of and am in need of a new home. I am good with other cats and okay with dogs.

I am seven years old and already neutered, so ready to go home. Today is not soon enough! [Read more…]
