Pet of the Day: Donahue

This is sweet Donahue. He was in foster care but has now made a return to the shelter.

Loving, curious, and a bit bewildered about being back, this guy has been in our system since June 27, 2014! He is looking for a real forever home of his own.

Donahue is now at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter. [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: Katie

I can woo even the most stubborn person with my beautiful blue eyes! I’m Katie, a Siberian Husky mix who has just had a bunch of puppies. The kids are on their own now, though, so on Friday, January 30, I became available.

I’m about two years old (estimated), and am house-trained and good with cats.

I had been wandering around the “W” streets in Oak Ridge until a beautiful lady brought me in and let me have my puppies. [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: Hercules

Submitted

I am a beautiful black and tan coonhound—named Hercules, of course—cause I’m such a marvelous specimen of a good dog.

When I came in, I had apparently had it out with a coon or two, but that just means I’ve been a great hunter for my owner. I’m super super friendly, and would love to be in your yard, or in your lap. I am available!

Fee is sponsored at 50 percent! (AS/AB) [Read more…]

Ivan can’t figure out why no one loves him. We showed him some love and made him the Cat of the Day for Thursday.

We hope one of you out there will show him he’s loved by adopting him. That would be the ultimate gift, the gift of a forever home of his own.

He’s a complete lovebug that would love a home where he is the only feline. He’s been waiting for the right person to come along and sweep him off his feet. Your reward will be unconditional love, gratitude, and head butts. Pretty sweet deal if you ask us. [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: Barbie

Submitted

Well, if you have a heart for the more senior, then I am your girl.

I am Barbie, a sweet female who needs some TLC to make me feel very special. I deserve so much more than a steel cage of cold walls to live out my days.

I hear the rumors…no one wants the older ones, but Miss Bev tells us that we matter. Will you come for me…because I matter? [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: Kelly

Hello my friends! I’m Kelly, a 12-year old Norwegian Elkhound mix surrendered on January 3. I’m very confused right now, and pretty sad as well.

Mr. David got me a big fat orthopedic dog bed to lay on ’cause my old bones get cramped up here in this kennel. I’m a really sweet girl, and I will be available on Saturday, January 17. I’m a little bit lame, but I still have a TON of love in my heart! If you can’t adopt me, please come see me and be friendly when I get out of quarantine!

Copper’s the name, and fun is my game! I’m an approximately one-year-old friendly hound mix, and some have said I’m a great dog that is good with kids.

Now that I’m bailed out of quarantine, I’ll show you just how much fun I can be! Just look at my beautiful coloring, and my perfect form!

Othello just loves attention and affection! She has a lovely long coat that is perfect for patting.

Cat of the Day on Friday: Ringo

Pet of the Day: Ringo

Submitted

The Cat of the Day for Friday was Ringo. This poor baby had a really rough life up until now, and the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter is hoping someone is willing to step up for him and give him the love he deserves. He is very shy and will need a patient home and loving owner to coax him out of his shell and teach him how to love and trust again.

On Friday, Ringo half-price since he is black. We know there is someone out there for this special boy, and we hope that they come out to adopt him today. [Read more…]
