Maddax Recovers from Surgery

Read Maddax's latest updates as he recovers from anterior cruciate surgery. Our dear boy is in some pain but surgery went very well and day by day he will recover. And someday he will be able to run and play again!!! Thank you to everyone who made this surgery possible. Maddax will be available for adoption in April.

 

Cat of the Week

Dog of the Week

I am a cat. I am called Sienna, the little one. And I am a magician. I look like a cat but I can work my magic on you. I can make you purr. That's right! When you and me hang out together, I will purr, and I will work my magic on you and you will start to purr too. Not quite like my purr, because you are not a cat. But you will make a little noise in your throat when you listen to me making the happiest little noises of my life. Because I love you. All of your cares will disappear. That's the magic part.

We can watch birds together. We can play with some string. We can stalk the dog. Ooops! Did I say that. No, that was you. Just kidding.

I was a stray cat and look what my magic did. I got saved! Here I am at the shelter, not out being chased by coyotes. I have food and friends. My cat magic can change your life too. Don't look for Buddha. All you need is me, little Sienna.

Hey everyone, I'm Toby. I'm learning how to play ball and GUESS WHAT, I am good at it. I could learn how to play football, don't you think? We could chase around the yard together after the ball and then when I grab it, you laugh at me. Does that sound like fun?

I love to hear you laugh. I love the sound of people having fun. I love to be with people. I love parties and gatherings, anywhere we can play ball or eat snacks. Oops, I'm not supposed to snack. I'm dieting. DIETING? Yes.

What am I doing here? Well, I've been here so long that I don't remember life before. I had a family and they threw me out next to a road. So I got picked up and came here. They didn't have time for me. I had too much youthful energy, I guess. I'm a grown-up dog now and even though I'm still pretty energetic, I'm a bit quieter now.

I'd like a new family please. I will be a great family dog. I will be your best friend, the one who makes you smile every day to help you forget your worries and cares. I will dance in the doorway when you come home. We will laugh and laugh!!!
