Meet Brownie – He’s an older dog, we are guessing around 8 years old, who has the heart of a puppy! We think Brownie is some sort of retriever/shepherd mix. He was originally a stray dog, who was never claimed from Republic city impound, so we decided to take him in and give him a chance to find the retirement home he deserves. You can see all his photos, his video, and read all about him on his listing: Brownie 
The first three of the kittens that were abandoned outside the shelter in a box have gone to their new homes today. Dulanzi and Dumbria were adopted as a pair, and will have a wonderful life in a home filled with love, with birds and dogs and children and another older pair of kitties. Denia is heading home to be a companion and playmate for Mr. Pickles, who was originally the Forget Me Not kitten named Filbert! We love it when our adopters come back for more, and are so happy that Denia and Mr. Pickles will get to be best buddies now. 
November is Adopt a Senior Pet month, and we are delighted that Amber is our first senior pet heading home! She will be so happy to have a warm lap and guaranteed sun spot for her golden years. Our other adoptees this week are two more of the kittens that were abandoned at a remote campsite last month; Owl (who is now Gus) got a ride out to his new home in Spokane, and Eeyore has joined his family, which includes his new best friend, a BIG labrador retriever named Olle. A senior and two black cats – now THAT’S a successful adoption week! 
TOP ROW: Buzz (male), Hamm (male), Woody (male), Jessie (female). BOTTOM ROW: Bo Peep (female), Lotso (male), Rex (male), Bullseye (male) These pups are a Stop the Cycle litter; Forget Me Not will spay the mother dog, and find these cuties new homes. They were born 9/11/11; mom is a pit bull, and the litter appears to have had a few different dads; some of the possible influences we see are Labrador Retriever, Border Collie, and Shepherd. We are calling them the Toy Story litter All of these pups are affectionate, happy pups; they play hard, then nap hard (ha). They are incredibly cute, but please do your breed research before applying to adopt one of them; because they are half pit bull, there are many areas where they will be banned, no matter how cute, cuddly, and well-behaved they . . . → Read More: Newly adoptable puppies: The Toy Story Litter  Leave a comment  Shelter Pets  adoptable, Bo Peep, Bullseye, Buzz, Hamm, Jessie, Lotso, new, pit bull, pitbull, pup, puppies, puppy, Rex, Woody

Silk (age 12), Amber (age 10), DejaVu (age 7) and Scoche (age 5) are currently sharing one of the shelter’s 4 cat rooms. They ended up at the shelter because their owner became disabled and could no longer care for them, but did not have any sort of pet plan in place. These cats are all indoor-only kitties, which limits their adoption options. Silk and Amber are both happy, social cats – a bit fat, but in good health. Other than being indoor-only, their big obstacle to adoption is just their age. While 12 and 10 are senior cat ages, they could easily have another 10 happy, healthy years ahead of them. They just need cat lovers who will give them the retirement homes they deserve, with sun spots and chin skritches. . . . → Read More: 4 special adoptable cats, need very special cat-lovers.

Ayla is a beautiful hound/pitbull mix, about 5 years old, who was abandoned by her owner – they went “on vacation” two months ago and left some friends in charge of bringing food to Ayla, who was left outside; unfortunately, despite being contacted, the owners have never come back from “vacation” and the property they were renting was sold, leaving Ayla homeless. Ayla isn’t very fond of other dogs, though she apparently lived with some before (the other dogs on the property disappeared, unfortunately); we are able to teach her to tolerate the other shelter dogs, but don’t recommend adding her to a home with a dominant dog unless you are a very experienced pack leader type. She definitely is a “people” dog – she’d much rather be with a person than with another dog. She has been reported to be not very good with livestock, . . . → Read More: New adoptable dog: AYLA Leave a comment Shelter Pets adoptable, ayla, brindle, dog, hound, housetrained, new, pitbull, white

Suzuki and his sister Bellavista were born 8/18/11, and arrived at the shelter along with their mama-kitty Thea when the kittens were just 3 weeks old. They and mama-kitty are in foster care together, and the kittens have begun the weaning process (at just over 7 weeks old). They will all be spayed/neutered and ready for release any time after October 22. Suzuki is the CUTEST fluffy boy, with some Siamese in his mix giving him beautiful blue eyes, and lovely stripey markings that will probably darken a bit with age. The kittens are doing well, growing big and strong, under the care of their attentive mama kitty; they will all be together until it’s time for the kittens to go to their new homes. These kittens will be fantastic family pets, and will do best in . . . → Read More: New adoptable kittens: Suzuki and Bellavista 
Miso is a funny, happy, very laid-back 6 year old girl, who arrived at the shelter with her kittens (our current “C” litter) when their owner decided they just had too many cats to care for. She is definitely part Siamese, with medium length fur, a pretty and unusual coat, and adorably goofy crossed eyes. Miso will be a very easy-care cat; she is affectionate, but not demanding, and prefers relaxing in a sunspot to… well, just about anything! She would do fine as an indoor or indoor-outdoor cat, and would be a terrific “starter pet” for a first-time pet owner, or an apartment pet. While she seems to be tolerant of other cats, she doesn’t much care if she has a cat buddy or not, so would do fine as an only pet. See her full listing . . . → Read More: New adoptable cat: Miso

The kittens are doing well, growing big and strong, under the care of their attentive mama kitty; they will all be together until it’s time for the kittens to go to their new homes. These kittens will be fantastic family pets, and will do best in indoor-only homes, as they have never been outside.

It’s been a great last few weeks at the shelter, with so many wonderful pets heading to their new homes! 2 of these adoptees were transported to Spokane on 9/16, 9 were transported to Monroe on 10/1, and the other 3 were picked up at the shelter. Clover will get to bond very closely with her new person, as she will be the only pet for a retired person on the west side of the state. Blackie is living in our own area, with a terrific family in Malo, where he has . . . → Read More: Look who went home 9-12-11 to 10-1-11!

Molly is a beautiful medium-haired white kitty with lovely black accents – love that black tail! She has been with us since early July, when she arrived with her 2-week-old kittens in tow. Molly has been a great mom, and the kittens have all found their new homes. Now it’s time for Molly to go home too! Molly is very friendly and affectionate, and fairly large (L-O-N-G kitteh). She would enjoy pretty much any indoor or indoor/outdoor home, where she can have a lap when she wants one and can have a few short brushing sessions each week to keep that gorgeous coat in great shape. She seems to prefer being the only cat, though she might agree to tolerate sharing her space with a friendly, non-dominant boy kitty. Ideally, she’d like to be an adored only kitty, in . . . → Read More: Adoptable cat, long-timer: MOLLY 
Ivan is a cuddly, handsome medium-haired grey juvenile boy, born 4/21/11. Ivan’s former owner decided to surrender him to the shelter because she is hardly ever home, and Ivan really craves human attention. He is a BIG kitty for his age, and everyone who sees him says he is one of the most attractive cats EVER. Ivan’s medium-length fur is very soft and silky, and would benefit from a 5-minute brushing every day or two. He has to be an indoor-only kitty because his front paws are declawed, leaving him no way to defend himself against dogs or other predators. Luckily, Ivan doesn’t seem to have any ill-effects from his declawing; he still uses his litterbox faithfully, and is a happy and loving boy. Ivan doesn’t seem to care if he has other kitties to play with – his . . . → Read More: New adoptable cat: IVAN 
Peanut is a beautiful medium-haired tabby and white girl. She has been with us since early July, when she arrived with her 3-week-old kittens in tow. Peanut has been a great mom, and the kittens are fully weaned – most have already found their forever homes, and now it is Peanut’s turn. Peanut is very friendly and affectionate, and is definitely a lap kitty. She would enjoy pretty much any indoor or indoor/outdoor home, where she can have a lap when she wants one and can have a few short brushing sessions each week to keep that gorgeous coat in great shape. Given a choice, she would rather cuddle than play, so an affectionate family is a must for Peanut. She seems tolerant of other cats, too.

Carlton is a super cute tuxedo boy, born about 5/27/11, who was surrendered when his owner was evicted from their home. Carlton has amazing acrobatic skills – he FLIES through the air to chase a kitty tease! He’s a high energy kitten, with a very happy, sunny purrrrsonality. He’d love to join another friendly, frisky kitty as a buddy – do you have a kitten that is driving you crazy? Add Carlton as a play-pal and regain your sanity! See his full listing with more photos and a fun video: Carlton 
We are happy to report TWO kitten pair adoptions, and a great new home for a big black dog! Chestnut and Pistachio have joined a family with 3 excited kids, a small dog, and a turtle – they are sure to have a fun life, and are so happy to have gone to a home together. Hoonch is now a totally devoted go-everywhere dog – when he met his new people at the shelter, we could immediately see Hoonch’s connection with them. He kept offering a paw to his new guy – and he’s never done that to anyone else in the shelter. It’s like he was saying “there you are, you are mine, please take me home now.” Finally, our long-timer kittens Delgado and DonBenito were adopted as a pair, to a . . . → Read More: Look who went home through 9-11-11! 
Meet Brutus and Bella, a happy-go-lucky pair of hounds. This brother and sister are tightly bonded, and would love to find a home together – but can be separated if needed. They are energetic, loud, affectionate, loud, smart, and did we mention, loud? There’s nothing quite like a pair of happy hounds baying to greet a visitor. See individual listings for: They are definitely scent hounds, with their noses to the ground 95% of the time. 
We’ve all seen examples of the “perfect” cat, who will curl up with you on the couch and let you pet and brush him for hours, and who sleeps peacefully at the foot of your bed all night long. In reality, cats are individuals just like their humans, and they have their own ideas about… well, just about everything! One of our fabulous recent cat adopters has a question about their new family member’s “biting” behavior: “…how can we keep her from biting when she gets overly excited. At night when we are sleeping she will jump up and bite our hands to wake us up to pet her, or if she’s sitting by us and we are petting her, she gets so excited that she will randomly attack our hand… why does she do this and how can we make her stop?” There are two separate issues at . . . → Read More: Cat behavior: Love Hurts!

These kittens were born 6/17/11, and were surrendered to the shelter along with their mom Peanut when the kittens were just 2 weeks old. We’ve had them fostering with our wonderful Foster Mama Charlene, and as a result, the kittens are all wonderfully socialized, very easy to handle, affectionate, curious, and playful – they will all be great in any type of family. These kittens, who will be ready to go home August 27, have never been outside, and will do best as indoor-only kitties (though they may adapt well to supervised outdoor visits, either with harness/leash or in a safe, enclosed area with their person). See their listings, with many more photos and a video, from our Cats Page.
