Pet of the Day: Clarise

Submitted

Clarise is a sweet girl that just needs a chance. She came in looking a little rough and although she looks a little mean from this picture, she is really a total sweetheart. With proper care and nutrition she will be a real beauty.

In the meantime, she loves being pet and getting rubbed under her chin. We estimate that Clarice is about 3-4 years old.

Pet of the Day: Sasha

Submitted

Sweet Sasha came into the shelter very scared and timid. She wants an adopter and is not shy about it. She demands attention, and we just can’t say no.

She is a young sweet dilute tortie with plenty of personality. She is curious and engaging and just an all-around good kitty. She’s about 10 months old, and she loves to do all the things a kitten would.

She’s available for adoption at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter. [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: Mansi

Submitted

We have no idea why someone would surrender our little girl Mansi. She is easy to please, even a little timid at first, but awesome overall.

Mansi is housebroken, trained to sit stay and fetch, and is very sweet. Someone should snap this girl up quickly, as dogs usually do not come in so well-mannered.

She is a little on the meek side at the moment, but being in a shelter and being left by your owners, that is understandable if not a little bewildering. With a good owner that truly cares for her, she should be able to overcome this and become the lovely outgoing sweetheart we imagine she could be. [Read more…]

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…]

Regis is a very sweet dog that does well on a leash. He is approximately two years old, male, and a shepherd mix.

Pet of the Day: McRay

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…]
