| Hello everyone, I’m Simon the lion-cat. I’ve been told I’m extremely handsome with my thick butterscotch fur and blue eyes. I havethe longest whiskers you have ever seen! I am looking for my fur-ever home. Please read my bio.I am a very sociable boy, calm and sensible, and I have good cat protocols. I could be your butler, for instance, greeting your guests nicely at the front door. I could be your pillow-warmer or better yet, your lap warmer. I could alert you when birds are nearby. I could remind you when it is time to fix breakfast.
I could even sit on your newspaper if you like. But I won’t fetch it for you; sorry, you will need to find a dog for that. Will you come to the shelter to meet me and take me home? Photo by Bonnie Zastrow Images |
NOTE: Julius is fostered at Bob’s House for Dogs near Eau Claire, WI, an excellent foster home. He is living in a home-like environment with other dogs and gets lots of attention! Contact them to schedule a visit.
Hello big world out there, it’s me, Julius, the coonhound. I’m a good guy with long ears and a love for the great outdoors. I am looking for a family who will let me spend some time outside. I like to smell the breezes and watch the weather. Life is hard sometimes and I’ve been living it. I was in a hunting pack of coonhounds and then suddenly I was homeless. My owner didn’t want me any more. Bye-bye. I’m not too interested in hunting either, so it was a mutual decision. I just want to live a relaxed life, a life of love and affection. You can relate to that, right? Please come to the shelter to meet me and let’s see if we can bring happiness to each other. If you are looking for a mild-mannered relaxed boy, I’m the one you want. I’ll need a little housetraining but I’m smart so it shouldn’t take long. Don’t get goofy against coonhounds, okay? We have wonderful social skills and we are sweet and sensitive. We are unforgettable!!! Me most of all!!! A shelter dog or cat is waiting to rescue someone like you from years of loneliness. |

STRAYS FOUND!
Call 608-637-6955 for information. You must provide identifying details about your missing pet before reclaiming, to help us ensure that your pet is not reclaimed by someone pretending to be the owner. This has happened to everyone's extreme dismay. People do steal animals by falsely reclaiming them!
None at this time.
