Breed:

Anna

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken
Spayed/Neutered

When Anna first came to ACS, she was barely more than a kitten herself and already a mother. Despite her young age, she was a doting mom to her babies and took excellent care of them. Anna sat by and watched as, one by one, her precious babies were adopted, but sadly no one has come to adopt Anna and it's beginning to look like this sweet kitty's 'furever' home might be our shelter. Anna coexists very well with other cats and is very tolerant of dogs but we think if she had a choice she'd be quite happy to be the sole object of your affection. Anna enjoys sunning herself on a window sill or in a soft comfy bed but she would much prefer having a lap to curl up on. Because she's had most of her teeth removed as a result of the neglect she endured prior to being brought to ACS, Anna is on a soft food diet. If you happen to have an empty lap and room in your heart, Anna would be happy to fill them both! ./// Primary Color: Tabby Secondary Color: Calico Weight: 8 Age: 3yrs 9mths 2wks Animal has been Spayed I am available for adoption at the Animal Care Society.

Nibbles

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Nibbles is a very photogenic and unassuming cat that picks and chooses who she likes. If she likes you, she REALLY likes you and will lay claim to your lap challenging anyone who dares to try and remove her. If she doesn't like you, she'll live up to her name and give you a little nibble as if to say, "leave me alone!" She gets along very well with other cats and doesn't seem to mind dogs, either. Nibbles has been with us since was a young kitten and, over the years, she has started mellowing out a little bit but she still has too much "leave me alone" attitude for a home where she'd be exposed to young children on a regular basis. For someone looking for an independent lap cat, Nibbles might be the perfect fit. To find out if Nibbles is the right cat for you, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her. /// NIBBLES IS SPONSORED BY WILLIAM REED THRU FEBRUARY 2014.

Kiki

Siamese
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Petite little KiKi truly is a beautiful cat with her torti-point coat of various shades of brown and her brilliant blue eyes but she's so shy it's hard to get a picture of her that does her justice. Brought to ACS in May 2011 pregnant and terrified, KiKi was sent to one of our wonderful foster homes where she gave birth to three little kittens. She was a great mother and once her kittens were weaned, KiKi was spayed and is currently at ACS waiting for a new home. Because she doesn't appear to have had a lot of socialization, KiKi would fare better in a home with an experienced cat owner that will patiently give this shy little beauty the time she needs to adjust to her new home and let down her guard. She might do better in an 'only pet' home, too, although she does co-exist peacefully with the other cats sharing her living quarters. To find out if Kiki would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her.

Melissa

Miniature Pinscher, Feist
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Melissa is a vivacious dog with a guesstimated birth date of December 2010 that weighs around 25 lbs. If you look closely at her picture, you'll note faint scarring on her muzzle as if someone had tied her mouth shut for an extended period of time. While Melissa can be a little vocal when excited or when she sees something or someone new, no amount of barking deserves such cruel and inhumane treatment! When Melissa arrived at ACS in 2011 she was very outgoing but a shelter environment (even one as loving and attentive as ours) has been too limiting and too much of the wrong kind of stimulation for a dog as active and intelligent as Melissa. She needs a living environment where she will get lots of exercise and an owner who will regularly challenge her thru training. You can easily see that Melissa truly wants to please the people she loves and she is a very quick learner. We suspect she has some Feist blood coursing through her veins as she's quite agile and can climb like a monkey. Because of this, she needs a home with a privacy fence rather than a chain link fence since she could easily scale the latter. Melissa LOVES car rides and long walks in the park. She rarely, if ever, potties in her kennel but we have no way of knowing for certain if that translates to her being house-trained. She's such a clean dog, though, that we'd be surprised if she wasn't. Melissa tends to fake a little "attitude" at times around other dogs and definitely does better with male dogs than female dogs. She may have some 'rough edges' that need to be smoothed out a little bit but with the right owner, this diamond in the rough will become a real gem of a dog! To find out if Melissa would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her.///MELISSA IS SPONSORED BY OLDFATHER LAW FIRM THRU DECEMBER 2013.

Brownie Bob

Basenji
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

This approximately four-year old Basenji mix surely had a Guardian Angel looking after him when he was abandoned in a local state park. Brownie Bob was so frightened that all attempts to catch him failed for almost two weeks. Whether he was caught off guard or was just tired of being alone, hungry, scared, and on his own, Brownie was finally caught but the ordeal of being abandoned and left on his own has left its scar on the poor dog. He can be very apprehensive and afraid when he first meets someone new. But, if you are patient and allow Brownie Bob to get to know you at a pace that's comfortable for him, you'll have a friend for life! Once he trusts you, he's a very friendly, affectionate, and well-mannered little dog. Brownie Bob enjoys the company of other dogs but, just as with people, he takes a little while to warm up to them. Brownie Bob is very well-mannered in his kennel, never has an accident, and LOVES to go for car rides and leash walks. As one of our volunteers said, "Brownie will walk as far and as long as you are willing to let him." Brownie Bob may not be a 'one size fits all' kind of dog but for the right person, he'll be a perfect fit! To find out if Brownie Bob would be a good choice for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him.///BROWNIE BOB IS SPONSORED THRU DECEMBER 2013 BY HAIR STATION PLUS IN SELLERSBURG IN.

Porcelain

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Porcelain is a snowy white beauty with citrine-colored eyes that was surrendered to ACS by a cat-loving couple who had found Porcelain in their neighborhood. When all their efforts to find an owner failed, they decided to keep Porcelain because of her sweet nature but, unfortunately, the existing feline in the home quickly made it quite clear that she wasn't about to accept another cat. Porcelain likes to be brushed, is playful, and will drape herself over your shoulder when held. Since the couple that found her didn't have children, we don't know how she would behave around other than adults. While Porcelain co-exists with the other cats sharing her room, she definitely prefers the company of people to cats and needs to be an only cat. To find out if Porcelain would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her. /// PORCELAIN IS SPONSORED THRU JANUARY 2014 BY MELISSA GREEN IN HONOR OF BENJAMIN T.

Cosmo

Shih Tzu, Pug
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

Cosmo and his brother, Astro, are the offspring of a Shih-Tzu daddy and a Shih Tzu/Pug mix momma. The parents' owners didn't want any more male dogs so now Cosmo and Astro are here with us. These fluffy, playful pups were born around the middle of October 2012. Cosmo is the more vocal pup but we think his barking is more out of his being less confident than Astro (as if his little puppy bark would intimidate anything!). Cosmo also is more crazy about his toys and you can't help but laugh as he runs at breakneck speed in and out of his kennel with a toy (that's usually as big as or bigger than him) in his mouth. Cosmo is doing pretty good at paper-training but he should not be considered housetrained and will need constant supervision until he masters this very important task. Another canine-friendly dog in the home that could serve as Cosmo's playmate and all-important role model is preferred as it would help him become more trusting. Because Cosmo is very timid and has, when frightened, tried to nip, he would not be a suitable pet in a household where children under the age of ten live or frequently visit nor would he be a good fit for a first-time pet owner or in a home where he would be left alone more often than not. And, because of his tendency to rush through doors and gates and run away from you as if playing a game of Keep Away that he's determined to win, you must have a fenced yard to be considered for adopting Cosmo. Puppies are a lot of work and, admittedly, require a lot of patience but if you know what you're doing the well-trained and devoted companion you'll end up with will prove to be more than worth all trouble. To find out if Cosmo would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him. /// COSMO IS SPONSORED THRU MARCH 2014 BY A LONGTIME FRIEND AND SUPPORTER OF THE ANIMAL CARE SOCIETY WHO PREFERS TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.

Chane Loves the Ladies

Shih Tzu, Papillon
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

With his Shih Tzu face and Papillon ears, 14-lb Chane is just adorably cute and is sure to steal your heart as soon as you meet him. We were told by Chane's foster mom that the little dog wasn't fond of men and we've found that to be pretty accurate. He is definitely a 'ladies man" and behaves aggressively toward males. We were also told that Chane hates to be crated but did well in a gated kitchen when he had to be left alone at his foster home. He has done fine in a kennel since becoming our guest. Chane is obsessed with tennis balls and it's not unusual to find him with one in his mouth pretty much most of the time. He actually loves toys of any kind and is quite content as long as he has an assortment of dog-appropriate playthings to keep him amused and occupied. Approved applicants must have a fenced yard because Chane is really bad about darting through doors and hasn't learned yet to come back when called. He thinks escaping and running away from people is a game but it could be a very dangerous game for him if he were not safely confined in a fenced yard! Chane walks great on a leash but attaching and unattaching the leash can be a challenge so he needs some work in this area. With dashing good lucks, Chane is sure to appeal to a lot of people but he is not a 'one-size-fits-all' kind of dog. He needs an experienced female owner that will be firm and consistent with his training so that he learns appropriate boundaries and behavior. To find out if this handsome little fella would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him. /// CHANE IS SPONSORED BY OLDFATHER LAW FIRM THRU FEBRUARY 2014.

Smiles

Pug, Chihuahua
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

Smiles and her sister, Grins, were found by a Good Samaritan in April 2013 and boarded at a local vet while a search was conducted for the little dogs' owner. When the search proved unsuccessful after ten days, Smiles and Grins were accepted into our shelter and are now in the market for a new home. We admit their names might be a little odd and not very feminine but what else could we name two dogs that smile ear to ear when they're excited! Which, if you are familiar with Pugs, is just about all the time. Smiles and Grins have lots of energy and are happy, jovial dogs that have a real zest for life. Weighing around 15 and 14 lbs, respectively, they are very lean and leggy and small enough to easily accompany you wherever dogs are allowed. Although it would be nice if they could go to the same home, it is not a requirement provided there is another canine-friendly dog in the home already. Pugs are typically very good with children but, because Smiles and Grins are also part Chihuahua, it would be best that any children who live in or frequently visit the prospective adopter's home be old enough to treat dogs with kindness and respect. The vet that boarded Smiles and Grins said they were both crate-trained and that she wouldn't be surprised if they were already housetrained, too, but we do not know with any certainty if they are. To find out if Smiles would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter soon and ask to meet her. ///SMILES IS SPONSORED THRU DECEMBER 2013 BY HAIR STATION PLUS IN SELLERSBURG IN.

Autumn

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Autumn is a very sweet and gentle-natured kitty with a very pretty face. She reminds us of the Egyptian Mau cat on the kitty litter commercial. Autumn adapted well to the other cats in our free-roaming cat room after a few days so we think she'd acclimate well to a home that already has a cat or cats. She'd probably be just as happy as your one and only, too! She's very responsive to people and will quickly hop down to greet you when you enter her room. To meet this sweetie, just stop by the shelter. /// AUTUMN IS SPONSORED BY LISA GITTLI THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2014..

Babs

Dachshund
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Babs is the whole package – great with kids, dogs, and cats and also house-trained. So why did her owners give her up? Seems she has a dangerous penchant for chasing cars. Her owners didn't have a fenced yard and, apparently, didn't want to have to keep Babs on a leash when outside so, fearing that sooner or later her luck was going to run out, they surrendered her to a rural county shelter. At 25 lbs, she's on the larger end of the weight spectrum for the breed but her body needs to be that big to hold her beautiful personality and loving heart. This sweetheart is what we call a 'belly up' dog because more often than not as soon as you enter her kennel she'll roll over on her back hoping for a belly rub. She's extremely gentle and loving but can be quite enthusiastic at times. Given her larger size, she could easily knock down a toddler so it's best that any children who live or visit Babs' prospective home be older as well as dog-savvy (since Dachshunds are not known to be overly patient with unruly children). A fenced yard or an experienced owner who is used to leash-walking will be a must with Babs. And, because Babs enjoys playing with several of the male dogs at the shelter, we think she'd like having a 4-legged "brother" to play with in her new home, too. To find out if Babs would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her. /// BABS IS SPONSORED THRU FEBRUARY 2014 BY BROOKE WATSON.

Magic

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Magic and her brothers, Abra & Cadabra, were brought to the shelter when they were very young and sick. These lucky kittens were nursed back to health and mothered by one of our wonderful fosters until they were ready to be put up for adoption. Now Magic is a healthy, fluffy, and inquisitive kitten ready to go to her furever home. Although her coat is super soft and thick, it's not very long. She has the tufted ears and big tufted paws of a Maine Coon, Turkish Angora, or Somali although her coloring is all wrong for those breeds. Magic is definitely more outgoing than her brothers and is quicker to accept attention. She is always ready for play time and will give some lucky owner hours and hours of entertainment. To find out if Magic would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her! ///MAGIC IS SPONSORED BY CHERYL KEELY THRU SEPT 2013.

Ben

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Ben was born on 6/27/13, eleven hours after his three siblings; and, sadly, he was the only one of the four kittens that survived. It's actually a miracle that Ben even survived given the pitiful condition of his Himalayan mom, Angelina, when she arrived at our shelter. The poor cat was covered with fleas and mats and was so emaciated that we didn't even realize she was pregnant. Ben was a little slow to develop and didn't open his eyes until he was 18 days old. It also took him a little longer than normal to get steady on his feet but he's since made up for 'lost time.' His foster mom told us Ben is "very very playful" and, while he loves to be petted, he's not all that crazy about being carried around and isn't much of a lap cat. She said Ben comes when called, hates to be confined, but "loves to sleep in drawers." Apparently, he figured out how to get into the drawers by crawling into them through the back of the dresser. Sounds like this little guy is going to keep his new owner on his or her toes trying to keep him out of mischief and trouble! Because he was an 'only child,' Ben does well being an only pet but would just as easily adapt to being part of a multi-feline home. To find out if Ben would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to spend some time with him. Just be warned, however – Ben LOVES to perch and your shoulders and will take a flying leap across the room to get to you. He's such a polite kitty, though, that he doesn't use his claws and once he's on your shoulders he'll purr 'sweet nothings' into your ear to let you know how much he enjoys your company!

Pansy

Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

Three-year old Pansy is a 5.9 lb Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkie) that was transferred to ACS from a foster home for a rural county shelter. Pansy's foster mom had a houseful of cats and a Chihuahua pup and told us that Pansy got along great with all of them. The pup, Posey, is actually Pansy's "roomie" at ACS because the two get along so well. They eat out of the same bowl, sleep in the same bed, and chew on opposite ends of the same rawhide roll. Although it would be great if the two "BFFs" could be adopted together, it is not a requirement. We are asking, however, that there be another canine-friendly small dog or cat in their prospective adoptive homes as we don't think Pansy or Posey would be very happy as an only pet. Pansy is very good about not pottying in her kennel but, as with any new dog, she should be closely monitored in her new home until it is determined if she is reliably house-trained. Pansy loves to go on leash-walks and is just adorable the way she "struts her stuff!" She seems to understand, "Let's go bye-bye," and gets all excited when you say it. Even though her little legs are only 2-3 inches tall, Pansy is quite the agile jumper and is particularly fond of perching atop the three-foot high doghouse in our puppy yard. She is very shy when you first meet her and you should be prepared to spend a little time letting her get to know you. Once she decides you're OK, she's just the ultimate little lovebug! Because of her timid personality and tiny size, we will not place Pansy in a home where young children live or frequently visit. A home with adults or a family with kids that arepreteens or older would be far more suitable for this petite little gal. To find out if Pansy would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her.

Biffy

Schnauzer
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Biffy is an 18-lb Schnauzer mix that was surrendered by his owners to a high kill rural county shelter because he was "too much puppy." Although Biffy will be a year old in November 2012, he still has all the joy and enthusiasm for Life that puppies have so if you don't like happy, energetic dogs, then he may not be the dog for you. However, if you're like most people, and appreciate the joy that a dog like Biffy can bring to your life, you need to stop in and spend some time with him. We were told that Biffy loves children and other dogs and that he is especially fond of water. He's very good at keeping his kennel clean but we do not know if he is housetrained. Because he loves people so much, Biffy tends to be a little vocal when he's first left alone so keep this in mind if you live in an apartment or condo and are gone for long hours at a time. An older, more settled dog would probably be a better fit in those circumstances. If, on the other hand, you have a nice fenced yard, some dog-crazy kids itching for a canine playmate, and maybe even another canine-friendly dog, you'll probably find Biffy as charming and irresistible as we do!

Kaboodle

Domestic Short Hair
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

With an estimated birth date of late August, 2013, Kaboodle is about as wild and crazy as you'd expect a young kitten to be and she seems to be quite the little tomboy. There's nothing she enjoys more right now than pouncing on her brother, Kit, while he tries to play with a toy but it's all in fun. And Kaboodle definitely seems to be ALL about the fun. The wee hours of the morning seem to be a kitten's favorite time to play and scamper throughout the house and, most likely, the person who welcomes Kaboodle into their home will quickly find this out! If you think a calmer more reticent feline would be a better fit for you, we also have plenty of older cats waiting for forever homes! On the other hand, if your life is in need of a shake-up and you're up for endless hours of fun and laughter for the next several months, Kaboodle may be just what you're looking for!

Kit

Domestic Short Hair
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

With an estimated birth date of late August, 2013, Kit is about as wild and crazy as you'd expect a young kitten to be! He LOVES toys and can amuse himself endlessly with a ball or stuffed mouse. Kit's also very fond of playing "hide and go seek" especially with his sibling, Kaboodle. They'll take turns hiding and pouncing on one another and never seem to tire of the game. While a kitten's curiosity is a big part of what makes them so fun to be around, it can also be dangerous if care isn't taken to 'kitten-proof' the home. Open dryer doors, cabinets, and refrigerators are just too enticing for a crazy little kitten to ignore but are very hazardous 'play' areas, as many a heartbroken owner has found out. The wee hours of the morning also seem to be a kitten's favorite time to play and scamper throughout the house which usually translates to loss of sleep for the people in the home. If you think a calmer more reticent feline would be a better fit for you, we also have plenty of older cats waiting for forever homes! On the other hand, if your life is in need of a shake-up and you're up for endless hours of fun and laughter for the next several months, Kit may be just what you're looking for!

Sallie

Rat Terrier
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Sallie is an 8-year old, 11-lb Rat Terrier that was transferred to ACS from another shelter where she had been turned in by her owner. The only explanation given was that her owner "couldn't keep her anymore." How sad that in the middle of her life, poor Sallie has lost her home! But, on the bright side, Rat Terriers have an average life expectancy of 15-17 years so sweet Sallie still has many years to brighten up the life of a new owner! This breed also remains active for its entire life so, while Sallie is very well-mannered, she is quite capable of going for long walks and participating in play time. We think she'd make a great companion for a retiree or someone who works from home as Sallie truly LOVES to be with someone. Understandably, she is very apprehensive when she first meets someone new but, once you win her over, she will gently put her paws on your legs as if politely asking for an invitation to curl up on your lap for some 'snuggle' time. Just the sound of your voice will cause her to spin in circles in excitement. Once she gets to know you, there'll be no question of her affection for you because she'll make you the center of her world. And Love like that is priceless! So far, she doesn't seem to have the 'yappiness' that a lot of small breeds are notorious for and only seems to bark when she needs a potty break or sometimes when all the other shelter dogs are barking. The Rat Terrier is generally described as an active, bright, inquisitive, loyal, devoted breed that can be good with older children but will not tolerate rough handling. The breed is usually good with other dogs but interactions with smaller pets should be closely monitored. The Rat Terrier was, after all, developed for its working ability to hunt vermin. We did note that Sallie's previous owner informed the other shelter that Sallie "hates cats" but when we gave Sallie a tour of one of our free-roaming cat rooms, she had very little interest in the felines that were brave enough to come up and rub against her. Of course, being a smart dog, Sallie may have realized she was outnumbered and decided to play it safe! If you have a feline-free household that is in need of some quality canine companionship, please stop by the shelter and ask to meet Sallie. She's a really great little dog that is definitely worth the effort of gaining her trust. /// SALLIE IS SPONSORED THRU MARCH 2014 BY WENDELL AND DIANNA SEGO IN HONOR OF STAR, AN ACS ALUMNI WHO HAS FOUND HER FUREVER HOME.

Akila

Chihuahua, Jack Russell Terrier
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

Three-year old Akila is one of three dogs that lived together in a trailer in Eastern Kentucky before being surrendered to a rescue in the area. When the rescue became overwhelmed with the number of animals it was caring for, they asked ACS to take in Akila and her 'roomies.' Although Akila has gone through a major change in her life, she is definitely making the most of it. Guess you could say she's a 'glass is half full' kind of gal! Akila is super-friendly and very affectionate. Her sociable nature extends not just to people but cats and other dogs as well. She quickly made friends with another female dog also transferred to ACS at the same time and they shared everything – their room, their bed, and even their food – while they were 'roomies.' Weighing at just an ounce or two over 12-lbs, Akila looks to be a mix of Chihuahua and Jack Russell or Rat Terrier and is a great size for someone wanting a small but not fragile dog. She loves to go on leash walks and prefers to do her business outside. We've yet to hear her bark and when she's in her kennel, you'll usually find her curled up on her bed getting her 'beauty rest.' To find out if this lovable sweetie would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her. /// AKILA IS SPONSORED BY GINA HILES THRU SEPTEMBER 2014.

Jack

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Jack is a handsome black and white Tuxedo that was born in April of 2013. He has the softest coat and the sweetest personality. His foster mom told us Jack is affectionate, energetic, playful and curious. He loves to be held and cuddled and purrs up a storm. She added that Jack is a champion at playing tag but may have too much energy for older or more sedentary cats. She further said that Jack is full of creative mischief but when he oversteps his boundaries, he quickly responds to a squirt bottle pointed in his direction. He's pretty smart, too, because she said that after a couple of mistings, just the sight of the squirt bottle was enough to deter Jack from whatever inappropriate behavior he was partaking in at the time. Since becoming our guest, Jack has proved to be one of our most outgoing felines. He even allows young children to pick him up and carry him around. If your household needs some livening up, Jack would love to come and live with you. He'll make sure you never have a dull moment or an empty lap!

Felix

Chihuahua
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

Five-year old Felix is an 8-lb Chihuahua that, for reasons unknown, was given up by his owners. It never ceases to amaze us how people can give up a pet after so long but, sadly, it happens all too often. Lucky for Felix, the rural shelter that took him in contacted us and asked if they could transfer the little fella to us and spare him the terrible fate that would have lied ahead of him, otherwise. And how could we say 'no' to such a sweet face?! Felix is as lovable as he is handsome and is very friendly. While he seems to like women more readily then men, he quickly warms up to just about everyone he meets. We were told that Felix is also very good with both cats and other dogs but, like a lot of small dogs, will sometimes display a little jealousy by growling at other animals when he's not in the mood to share the love. His behavior is limited to growling, though, and this is something that can be easily corrected. Felix loves to go on leash walks, enjoys car rides, and is just an all-around sweetheart! If you have a soft spot for Chihuahuas, you're going to LOVE Felix. To find out if he would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him. /// I am available for adoption at the Animal Care Society. /// FELIX IS SPONSORED BY JANE MEULER THROUGH FEBRUARY 2014.

Weewun

Shih Tzu, Chihuahua
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Spayed/Neutered

WeeWun is a two-year old Shih Tzu mix that was found abandoned on one of the coal mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Lucky for her, a local rescue regularly visits those mountains to try and save as many of these breeder cast-offs as they can. Although WeeWun is terribly shy, she must have realized that she was going to have to put her fear aside in order to survive and she eventually allowed someone to catch her. Since her arrival at ACS, Weewun is gradually becoming more comfortable with her new surroundings and we've found that she gains more confidence with people when she's around other dogs. It's as if she's sitting back and waiting for them to 'test the waters,' so to speak. Once she sees all the affection her canine companions are receiving and how much fun they are having, she'll gradually start to relax a little. Given the horrible neglect we suspect WeeWun endured for the first two years of her life, we're actually amazed that she manages to muster up the courage to allow any kind of human contact. But we think that deep down, there's a very loving and affectionate dog inside WeeWun that's just waiting to burst forth and start living and enjoying the new life that we want to provide for her and that she so justly deserves. WeeWun's sad eyes are sure to attract a lot of potential adopters but it's important for anyone wanting to give this little gal a new home to realize that she will require a LOT of time and patience if she's to realize her full potential to be a 'normal' dog. She needs someone who has experience with emotionally stunted dogs to slowly introduce her to all the new things she'll be experiencing and allow her to adjust at a pace that's comfortable for her. Her new home MUST have a fenced yard and at least one other canine-friendly pet. Any children who live in or frequently visit the home need to be at least ten years old and know how to 'read' a dog and treat it with respect. WeeWun may have some rough edges through no fault of her own but, with a lot of time and love from the right person, we're sure she'll spend the rest of her life thanking them by being a loving and devoted little companion.

Pasha

Siamese
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Two-year old Pasha is a gorgeous Siamese mix (possible Ragdoll) with calico markings. Transferred to ACS from a rural county shelter, we're sure she won't have to wait too long for a new home. Pasha is a very outgoing, confident, playful, affectionate,and friendly feline that gets along equally well with both dogs and other cats. Her foster family told us that Pasha will play with dogs as if she thinks she's one of them. This isn't too surprising, however, since Siamese are often referred to as 'the dogs of the cat world.' Whether you're wanting a cat that you can hold and cuddle or a cat that will keep you amused with its playful antics, Pasha will probably fit the bill. To find out if she'd be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her.

Curry

Domestic Short Hair
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Curry is a handsome young orange tabby with a guesstimated birthdate of March, 2013. He is a very friendly and super affectionate cat that never meets a stranger. With a cat as loving and personable as Curry, you may find that having him as your 'one and only' suits you just fine but, since he does well with other cats, he would easily acclimate to being part of a multi-feline household, too! And did we mention how silky soft his coat is? To meet Curry and our other cats and kittens waiting for 'furever' homes, just stop by the shelter. /// CURRY IS SPONSORED THRU JUNE 2014 BY FRANK MAY.

Cupcake

Domestic Short Hair
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Poor Cupcake was abandoned when she was only six weeks old. This is a sad situation that happens far too often because of neglectful and incompetent owners. Cupcake was one of the lucky ones, though, and was discovered before anything bad happened to her. She was a little miffed at first but after a few days of constant attention from our staff and volunteers, she's proved to be a very sociable kitten that craves attention. Cupcake's also very playful and we imagine she's got a pretty mischievous side, too! Whether you're looking for your 'one and only' cat or wanting to add to your existing feline family, Cupcake, having proven her ability to adapt, will probably fit the bill! To meet her, just stop by the shelter. She'll be the one meowing and reaching for you! Primary Color: Muted Calico Age: 0yrs 2mths 1wks I am available for adoption at the Animal Care Society.

Jay Jay

Pug, Poodle
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

Two-year old Jay Jay is a scruffy-coated Pug/Poodle mix that weighs just under 19 lbs. He has a very quiet demeanor about him and is a remarkably well-mannered young dog. Which, we're sure, made it all the harder for his owners to give him up. They had no choice, however, since they no longer had a home of their own and were having to keep poor Jay Jay outside at a relative's house. We were told that Jay Jay is house-trained (goes to the door when he wants to go out), crate-trained, loves toys (but will tear up stuffed ones), and that he did really well with the family's children. He walks great on a leash and enjoys car rides. Because his owner said Jay Jay likes to chase things, he will require a fenced yard. Although he was an only pet, Jay Jay seems to be quite sociable and has already made a few doggie friends at our shelter. Jay Jay won't be able to go to a new home until after his 11/26/13 neuter but are taking applications on him now. He's such a great dog that we're sure his time with us will be short so make sure you come out and meet him soon to find out if he would be compatible with you and your household. /// JAY JAY IS SPONSORED BY OLDFATHER LAW FIRM THRU AUGUST 2014.

Tully

Silky Terrier
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Tully is a friendly fella that, with his pale silver and gold silky coat, bears a strong resemblance to a Silky Terrier or a Yorkie, althoughat 17-lbs he's too big to be the latter. He even resembles a Lowchen but, since the breed is not that common, it's unlikely (although not impossible) that Tully is a Lowchen. This happy little guy was found standing in the middle of a road in J-town in mid-October of 2013. When all attempts to find his owner failed, his "good samaritan" asked ACS to find Tully a new home. During the month that she had Tully trying to find his owner, she said that Tully never had an accident in the house and that he loved playing with her dogs and the neighbor's dogs. She said she would have kept Tully but her dogs are older and too laid-back for a playful, energetic young dog and she felt Tully would be happier in a more active household. Because he seems to love everyone he meets – whether on two legs or four – we're sure that there will be LOTS of people interested in giving Tully a new home. He's small enough to accompany you everywhere that dogs are allowed but not so little as to be fragile. His coat will shed very little, if at all, but will require regular attention to prevent painful tangles and mats. And, because he loves people so much, he would be happier in a household where there's usually someone home. To find out if Tully would be a good fit for you and your family, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him! He'll be the one wiggling with joy as soon as he sees you!

Bilbo

Border Terrier
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

Bilbo is a scruffy-coated Border Terrier mix estimated to be around 18 months old. Although he only weighs 14-lbs, he is a pretty leggy dog and stands a little taller than the breed standard of 10-11 inches. Bilbo is a very friendly, outgoing dog that seems to like everyone he meets. He is very good about keeping his kennel clean but we do not know if he is house-trained. If you are not familiar with the breed, the Border Terrier is generally described as sensible, affectionate, active, devoted, sweet-natured, alert, playful, good-natured with strangers, and gentler than most terrier breeds. However, like most terriers, it has a tendency to bark and, if left to its own devices, may be inclined to dig up the yard or tear the stuffing out of pillows. Bilbo, however, has been extremely quiet and has never shown any destructive behavior in his kennel or when out in one of our yards. This breed has a strong tendency to chase anything that moves and, because of this, it must always be on leash when not confined by a fence. An active dog, the Border Terrier will take all the exercise you can offer. A daily stroll once around the block is not enough to keep this breed fit and happy to so keep this in mind if you aren't willing to provide regular brisk walks of a mile or more every day. Most Border Terriers are generally very good with children although supervision is essential. For sensible, dog-savvy children that are mature enough to be respectful, the Border Terrier is the ideal fun-loving and tireless companion. If you enjoy a busy, stimulating pet who wants to participate fully in your life, Bilbo could well be the dog for you. To find out, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him. /// BILBO IS SPONSORED BY JO-ANN HOLLEMAN THRU DECEMBER 2013.

Caleb

Flat-coated Retriever, Labrador Retriever
Spayed/Neutered
Up-to-date with routine shots

The callousness of some people never ceases to amaze us. Although, it was probably a blessing in disguise that this young Lab mix pup's owner left him tied to a picnic table. After all, anyone who could care that little about the pup's welfare would have been a terrible owner. Fortunately, Caleb is young enough that the traumatizing experience was soon forgotten and he's an outgoing, not-care-in-the-world, rambunctious and playful fellow. Judging from the slight wave to his coat and the scruffy whiskers on his face, Caleb probably has some kind of Terrier in him along with a lot of Lab. He's very high energy and LOVES being with people. We're guesstimating that he was born around mid to late July, 2013 and, because he weighed 20 lbs at three months of age, Caleb's undoubtedly going to be a pretty big guy once he quits growing. We're sure he's going to love whoever opens their hearts to him but his size and enthusiasm would be overwhelming to toddler-age children so keep this in mind if you have young children who live in or frequently visit your home. A home with a fenced yard is preferred (and required if you have children) and a household that is active and wants a dog that will participate in their outside activities would be ideal for Caleb. To meet this handsome fellow, just stop by the shelter soon. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 20.4 Age: 0yrs 4mths 0wks I am available for adoption at the Animal Care Society.

Gimli is a solid gray, medium-haired feline with a friendly and outgoing personality. He loves to be held and cuddled and will purr 'sweet nothings' in your ear. Transferred to ACS from a high-kill rural shelter, Gimli would love to spend the rest of his nine lives filling your heart and home with love. Although he can't go to his new home until after his 12/10/13 neuter, we are taking applications on Gimli now.

Gandalf

Domestic Long Hair
Up-to-date with routine shots
Housebroken

Three-year old Gandalf is a snowy white domestic long haired feline with golden-yellow eyes. This sweet kitty was owner-surrendered to a high kill rural shelter for reasons unknown. The only information Gandalf's former owner provided was that he is litter-trained, loves kids, and loves to chase mice. We can attest to the first, have no doubt believing the second because he's such a lover, but frankly can't see him exerting the energy it would take to chase much of anything because he's been pretty much of a lounger since becoming our guest. Every time we pass his kitty condo, he's curled up on a shelf or snuggled into his bed. Gandalf definitely enjoys getting his share of "zzzzz's" that's for sure! He is also more than willing to supply you with plenty of snuggling, hugging, and purring. If you like fluffy, friendly, and flirtatious felines, you're gonna love Gandalf! Although he can't go to his new home until after his early 12/13/13 euter, we are taking applications on him now.
