Wonder why they call me Champ? Well let me tell ya—I am a gorgeous boy, about two years old, and a Jack Russell Terrier mix. I am friendly with everyone and everything, and I’m tolerating this shelter stuff pretty well.

I won’t be available until May 8, so they can give my people enough time to find me. But in the meantime, please come walk with this animal, talk to this animal, and I will walk and talk with you!

That’s from Dr. Dolittle, by the way. I am very smart! [Read more…]

Roscoe was the featured pet of the day on Friday. He is shy and I imagine still missing his family, but he is a sweet boy and warms up to a little love. Please share his pictures and story to help us find him a home. Roscoe is three years old.

“My mom and dad became homeless, and a lot of people have been trying to take care of me, but the money only goes so far! They cried when they dropped me off Please help! I will love you forever, and don’t I have just the most beautiful face?”

This is a beautiful, perfect dog!!

Peanut? Boy, someone was really searching for a name that day! I’m about as far from a freakin’ peanut as it gets!

I’m a good-sized (55 pounds or so) Lab mix, and I am pretty and fun! I don’t do too bad on a leash, either! Eventually, they will wash the stupid paint spot off my face LOL.

I am somewhat curious, but not everyone needs to know that, right? I’m a friendly “feller” and should be named Sam or something, in respect for my five years on this planet. But Peanut? [Read more…]
