Rocko
Dog, Adult, Male, Medium
Rat-Terrier
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogAdultMaleMediumRat-Terrier
Although extremely loving and affectionate with a strong desire to please, little Rocko (nee Bucket) is a little shy for a few minutes around new people and situations. When you hear his story, you'll understand why. Rocko was placed by his first owners in a box in January of 2015 and "left (him) on the porch to die." A young woman heard about the little dog named Bucket at that time and asked Bucket's owners if she could have him. She said the box was soaked with urine and feces and Bucket was covered with fleas. No doubt, she saved the little guy's life the day she took him home! Bucket became incredibly attached to his rescuer and she had every intention of giving him a home for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, she had to move in with her parents in July 2015 and her father was severely allergic to dogs. When we met Bucket for his evaluation, he clung to the young lady's leg but within an hour of his being surrendered, he was kissing the ACS staff and volunteers and was quick to climb up on any available lap. He quickly made friends with several other similar-sized ACS dogs. Bucket was adopted in July of 2015 but, sadly, returned back to us in June 2019 because his owners felt they know no longer had enough time to give Bucket now renamed Rocko the love and attention he deserved. For the second heart-breaking time we had to watch the poor little guy desperately cling to his owners' legs running back and forth between them as if begging not to be left again. There were quite a few tears that day all around. But, we are determined that Rocko's next home will be his forever home! His owners told us that Bucket is crate and house-trained (he'll ring a bell when he needs to go out); loves children and other dogs; can be crated for up to 8 hours but is used to sleeping in his bed or in his owner's bed at night; is a "real cuddle bunny" and loves to sit on your lap; and loves to play Fetch. Rocko's a very leggy fella and those legs giving him an amazing ability to leap. With his long legs and trim but muscular build, we think Rocket has the potential to excel at agility and he'd make a great jogging partner. Rocko has a lot of energy but he's also a total lap dog and we think he'll be a wonderful BFF (Best Furry Friend) for some lucky household. If you can give Rocko the loving and committed forever home he deserves, please stop by the shelter and ask to meet him.

Lucy
Cat, Adult, Female, Medium
Domestic-Short-Hair
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
CatAdultFemaleMediumDomestic-Short-Hair
Lucy is one of several cats transferred to ACS from another shelter in mid-August 2018. She loves attention, comes when called (most of the time) and is quick to return affection. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way about other cats as she does people. Poor Lucy is easily intimidated by other cats - even the ones who just want to be friends with her. Because we didn't want her to be uncomfortable, we moved Lucy into a condo in our Lobby where she longingly looks out the windows and dreams of a day when she goes to her forever home where she will have a lap all her own to cuddle up on and a person she doesn't have to share with any other cats. If you're looking for your 'one and only' and have room in your home, heart and lap for Lucy, please stop by our shelter to meet her. She might just turn out to be your new BFFF (Best Feline Friend Furever)! /// LUCY IS SPONSORED THRU AUGUST 2026 BY AN ANONYMOUS PERSON NOW DECEASED WHO WAS A LONG-TIME FRIEND, VOLUNTEER AND SUPPORTER OF ACS.

Pawla Abdul
Dog, Young, Female, Medium
Hound
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungFemaleMediumHound
Pawla Abdul is a people-friendly, smart, energetic and powerful young dog that was transferred to ACS from a rural-county shelter. Although we were told that Pawla is good with other dogs, she seems to have a high prey-drive that really kicks in when she's around smaller and/or vocal dogs. Pawla does seems to be smitten with Gideon, one of our larger canine residents, however, and might do well in a home that has a male dog as big or bigger than her. Because she was a stray, we weren't given much information about Pawla and can't say with certainty whether or not she's house-trained. She is very good about keeping her kennel clean but her owner should be willing and prepared to work with Pawla on house-training should it prove necessary. Pawla has pretty good leash manners except for when she sees or hears a smaller dog. This is a behavior that definitely needs to be addressed by her adopter. And, because of her strength, Pawla needs an experienced and physically capable owner. A home with a fenced yard large enough to give Pawla the room she needs to run and play would definitely be a plus! Someone who is active outdoors and will make sure that Pawla receives a lot of exercise would be ideal for her. If you don't mind a dog that has a few 'ruff' edges, then Pawla just might be the right dog for you. To meet her, just stop by our shelter soon! /// PAWLA ABDUL IS SPONSORED THRU AUGUST 2019 BY CHRISTA PETERS; AND THRU OCTOBER 2019 BY CHRIS GLADIN IN LOVING MEMORY OF SAKI, HIS ENGLISH BULLDOG WHO CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE TOO SOON.

Damien
Cat, Young, Male, Medium
Domestic-Short-Hair
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
CatYoungMaleMediumDomestic-Short-Hair
Damien and his brother, Ace, were transferred to ACS from another shelter in mid-August 2018. This sleek, ebony-coated feline has a very regal look to him and seems to have an equally regal personality. He picks the most comfortable bed in the bay window and spends the day alternating between cat-napping and watching everything that goes on in the room (much like a king on his throne). He kinda reminds us of Bagheera, the panther in THE JUNGLE BOOK. But don't let Damien's aloofness fool you...he's actually a very sweet cat and is quite responsive when talked to. To meet Damien, just stop by our shelter. /// DAMIEN IS SPONSORED THRU AUGUST 2019 BY GEOFF AND JUNE LEE.

Dewey
Cat, Young, Male, Medium
Russian-Blue
Spayed/NeuteredHas ShotsNo Kids
CatYoungMaleMediumRussian-Blue
This handsome young fella lost his home because he played too rough with the young child in the home. With another baby on the way, Dewey's owners felt it best to go ahead and rehome Dewey. It's a story we hear often and is why we don't like to put young animals in homes with young children. Most of the time, the injuries are just the result of rambunctious play and isn't an indication that the animal is aggressive. Since Dewey's a pretty friendly kitten, we think that's the case here. Still, whether the scratches are intentional or accidental, they still hurt tender young skin. Dewey would fare better in a home with older children or adults. Dewey lived with another cat (that he was affectionate and playful with) and a dog (that he "didn't hang with") in his first home so he might enjoy a similar environment in his new home. Dewey likes to be petted on his head, back and sides but NOT his belly. He also doesn't like veterinarians. Dewey loves to play and every cat he meets he immediately sees as a playmate so he'd be happiest in a multi-cat home. Although his owners told us that Dewey is a Russian Blue (and he does have the solid gray coat and dark nose of the breed), his eyes are more of a goldish green - not the vivid green found in the breed. He's still a gorgeous kitty, though, purebred or not! To find out if Dewey would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him. /// DEWEY IS SPONSORED BY MELISSA ROSE THRU JULY 2019.

Fancy
Dog, Adult, Female, Medium
Rat-Terrier
Special NeedsSpayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogAdultFemaleMediumRat-Terrier
Fancy lost her home when her owner's health issues no longer allowed her to provide adequate time and care for all her pets. A rescue working with the lady asked if we could take Fancy in and find her a new home. Fancy was born in October of 2013 and, although she's not a Spring Chicken, she is still very active and VERY capable of giving lots of love! She's quite the little lap dog and is very generous with her affection. Fancy has been diagnosed with a luxating patella of her right hind leg. It isn't causing her any pain and it sure doesn't slow her down on walks but her adopter should have the financial means to cover any specialized veterinary care Fancy may require should the condition worsen. Fancy will use newspaper to potty inside if she can't be taken outside for some reason to 'take care of business. This little bundle of joy is such a people-lover that she can be quite vocal when left alone. While she does eventually settle down, she probably wouldn't be a good choice for someone who lives in an apartment or condo or someone who prefers quiet dogs. Although, as long as she's with you, Fancy is very quiet. Because she came from a home with multiple pets, Fancy does well around both cats and other dogs. If you have room in your heart and home for a little dog that finds joy in just being with you, then make sure you stop by our shelter and ask to meet Fancy. /// FANCY IS SPONSORED THRU MAY 2019 BY OUR FRIENDS AT OLDFATHER LAW FIRM.

Zack
Dog, Young, Male, Medium
Corgi
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungMaleMediumCorgi
This handsome little dog definitely had a Guardian Angel looking out for him. Zack had been in a county shelter and was transported to ACS on 1/25/19. We knew the minute we saw him in a crate in the transporter's truck that he was really sick. Zack was rushed to Shively Animal Hospital where he spent almost a week recuperating. It was touch and go there for awhile since poor Zack refused to eat anything but after several days, he started perking up and developed an appetite. And that appetite continued to grow after he came back to our shelter. This fella LOVES to eat! It's like he's trying to make up for all the meals he missed out on when he was sick (and maybe even before that since he was bone-thin on arrival). Compact and short to the ground, Zack weighs 22-lbs and looks like he's got some Jack Russell, Corgi, Dachshund or Mini Pinscher in him but who knows what his breed make-up is for sure. There's no question about how sweet he is, though. And don't make the mistake of thinking that Zack's short legs limit his ability to jump. This little guy can easily launch himself over a four foot fence! That 'talent' might be how Zack ended up as a stray in that county shelter! Any fence in a prospective adopter's home is going to need to be at least 6 feet tall to keep Zack safely confined. The other option is making sure he is always on leash when he's outside. Zack might not be the right fit for every adopter but we know his Special Person is out there and he or she will be lucky to have the love and devotion of this sweet little guy! He's so much fun and has such a happy and joyful outlook on life! Zack is great on leash walks, too! To find out if this little guy would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him. /// ZACK IS SPONSORED THRU JUNE 2019 BY JANET JORDAN.

Mr. Bubbles
Cat, Adult, Male, Medium
Domestic-Short-Hair
Spayed/NeuteredHas ShotsNo Kids
CatAdultMaleMediumDomestic-Short-Hair
When Mr. Bubbles first arrived at our shelter, we mistakenly took him to be a rather shy cat. When we moved him into the McKinney Room, however, his true personality came shining through. Mr. Bubbles is actually a very friendly feline and easily took to his new surrounding and his feline roommates. He seems especially fond of Damien and they can often be seen touching noses and rubbing up against each other. Without fail, EVERYone who visits the McKinney Room is immediately taken with Mr. Bubbles which makes it all the more puzzling why he hasn't been adopted yet! If you're looking for a handsome feline with a 'pawsome' personality to keep your heart full and your lap warm, make sure you stop by and ask to meet Mr. Bubbles! /// MR. BUBBLES IS SPONSORED THRU June 2019 BY MARY BROWN. Primary Color: Tabby Weight: 9.3lbs Age: 3yrs 0mths 0wks Animal has been Neutered I am available for adoption at the Animal Care Society.
Sassy
Dog, Young, Female, Medium
Shepherd
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungFemaleMediumShepherd
Are you the type of person who notices the person standing in a corner all alone at a social function and you make a point to make help them feel part of the crowd? Do you have a soft spot in your heart for underdogs? Well, if so, then Sassy sure would like to meet you! This pretty little girl was born around December of 2017 and was surrendered to us along with two other dogs back in December of 2018. Sassy and the other two dogs had lived most of her lives outside and, as a result, are socially backward and shy around new people. When someone enters the room, Sassy retreats to the back of her kennel cowering. To add to her misfortune, she went into heat before we could set her up for a spay which, of course, delayed her being eligible for adoption (her spay is now scheduled for 4/04/19). While Sassy is very loving with the staff and volunteers she's familiar with, she remains afraid of new people. She just needs a quiet home with a patient adopter who will allow her to relax and let down her guard so that she can finally be the fun-loving dog we just know is hiding inside her. Sassy happily introduced herself to every dog that came into the vet's office when we took her in for her spay so we think she'd love a home that already has another canine-friendly dog or two. A fenced yard will be a must for Sassy, also. Having cared for Sassy all these months, we know how sweet a dog she actually is once she warms up to you. If you want to be the one to show Sassy a 'brave new world,' just stop by our shelter and ask to meet her. It might take a few visits to win her over but we promise you the end result will be well worth the extra effort! /// SASSY IS SPONSORED THRU SEPTEMBER 2019 BY VANESSA TAYLOR.

Are you the type of person who notices the person standing in a corner all alone at a social function and you make a point to make help them feel part of the crowd?

Roxy and the other two dogs had lived most of her lives outside and, as a result, are socially backward and shy around new people. When someone enters the room, Roxy tends to retreat to the back of her kennel cowering and/or barking.

Annie
Dog, Young, Female, Medium
Shih-Tzu
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungFemaleMediumShih-Tzu
When Annie was purchased from a breeder at 8 weeks of age, her 70-year old owners were told that the pup was a Teddy Bear and would not get over six to seven pounds as an adult. Due to their age, they just wanted a calm little lap dog to be their buddy. Unfortunately, as Annie grew, she didn't look anything like a Teddy Bear (Cairn Terrier or maybe Norwich Terrier and Shih Tzu would be our best guess), she weighed 14 lbs at 7 months of age, and she turned out to be far too active and energetic for the elderly couple. They dearly loved Annie but realized that she needed a home with a much younger and much more active owner as well as a fenced yard where she could safely run off all her energy. Annie is on the shy side when you first meet her. She will wiggle and waggle her body but won't readily approach you. You have to get down to her level and sweet talk her for a bit to win her over. Annie also has some submissive urination going on right now but that problem typically resolves itself over time once the dog is in a stable and familiar environment. We were told that Annie loves children (at least 8 years old), is trained to puppy pads, and was used to sleeping in bed with her owners. Because Annie is not socially confident, she tends to bark a lot at new people and in new situations. She also takes time to warm up to new dogs. If they approach her too quickly, it unnerves her and she'll curl her lip and growl. We're not sure yet how Annie does around cats but will be happy to do a 'cat scan' upon request. If you have an active lifestyle that can include an energetic dog, and have experience with nervous, insecure dogs, Annie sure would like to meet you. NOTE: A structural fenced yard that is attached to the house is a MUST for Annie. She is an extremely determined door darter and will do her best to run out any open door. She is also terrified when on leash and we are currently working with her on this. Her former owners had her trained to pee pads and she was never outside except on their deck so she doesn't quite understand yet that walks are good things and that outside time is usually potty time. Annie, through no fault of her own, is a little 'ruff' around the edges right now but with a lot of patience and a little 'pawlish,' we know she'll be a wonderful canine companion. She just needs the right owner and an appropriate environment. /// ANNIE IS SPONSORED BY MELISSA ROSE THRU JULY 2019.

Gretchen
Dog, Baby, Female, Medium
Terrier
Has Shots
DogBabyFemaleMediumTerrier
This little cutie and her sister were purchased around the beginning of March 2019 by a young lady who thought she was going to buy one Chiweenie. She was so taken by Gretchen and Bailey, that she purchased both pups. Unfortunately, when she realized there would be no one to care for the pups when she returned to school, she surrendered Gretchen and Bailey to us in early April 2019. With her slender build and long legs, we don't see much Chiweenie in Gretchen. She could be a mix of some kind of small terrier but your guess would be as good as ours. What we can tell you is that Gretchen's just the sweetest little thing and loves, loves, loves attention! Like all young puppies, she has a lot to learn and will need an owner who has the experience, time and patience to help Gretchen grow up to be a good canine citizen. The dog a puppy becomes is a direct reflection of how it was raised. If you work long hours, have a busy social schedule, or have never raised a puppy before, an older puppy or adult dog might be less of a challenge. While Gretchen loves everyone, she's still too much in the scratching/nibbling phase to be placed in a home with children younger than five. Her razor-sharp claws and needle-sharp teeth can easily tear or puncture tender young skin even if Gretchen is only wanting to play. A household with older children who are dog-savvy enough to not only treat Gretchen gently but also help with her training would be a better fit. Gretchen is very good with other dogs so a household that already has another canine-friendly dog or two would provide Gretchen with a playmate, companionship and a role model. If you would like to give Gretchen a loving and committed forever home, just stop by the shelter and ask to spend some time with her. NOTE: Currently, we are requiring that approved applicants be residents of Jefferson County if Gretchen is adopted before she is old enough to be spayed. /// GRETCHEN IS SPONSORED THRU JULY 2019 BY JANE MEULER.

This sleek and ebony-coated green-eyed beauty is more than just a pretty face - Onyx has a 'pawsome purrsonality,' too! She loves attention (what pretty lady doesn't, right?) and will rub all over your hand purring like crazy. She easily adapted to the other cats in the Chiles Room so we think she'd do fine a multi-feline home. She's also comfortable with well-mannered dogs. Onyx's estimated date of birth is October 2018 so she has lots and lots of time to give her adopter a whole lot of love and companionship! If you have room in your heart and home for Onyx, just stop by our shelter to fill out an application and spend some time with her. /// ONYX IS SPONSORED THRU AUGUST 2019 BY JUD MILES.

PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO>>>This cute little gal was surrendered to a high-kill, rural county shelter when she was only 8 weeks old. When the shelter asked us to take Trifle and her three sisters, we were more than happy to do so! We were told the pups were born on 1/21/19 and that they were Chihuahua mixes but we think there's some Beagle or some kind of small terrier or maybe even some Shelty in them, too. All four pups are super sweet, energetic, and playful. They love romping around with each other so we think a home that has another similar-sized, canine-friendly dog would give Trifle not only a playmate but a role-model as well. After all, there's a lot she needs to learn! Her adopter will need experience, patience and adequate time to supervise, guide and teach her all she'll need to know in order to grow up to be a well-mannered dog. Keep this in mind if you work long hours and/or have a busy social life that would limit the amount of time you'd have for Trifle. A home with a secure fenced yard will give Trifle the safe environment she needs to play and 'do her business.' Right now, she thinks anything she can get in her mouth or her mouth around is a chew toy and, take it from us - her little teeth are needle sharp!

This pretty little feline was found stray in Mercer County when she was pregnant. Fortunately for her (and the babies she had on 1/19/19), the local shelter was able to find a couple of foster homes for Mallory and her litter over the next couple of months. We had the whole family transferred to our shelter on 4/22/19 and now they are here waiting for loving and committed forever homes. Mallory is a very personable cat who readily comes when called and enjoys being petted and told how pretty she is. To meet her and find out if she would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by our shelter. Mallory's up-to-date on all vaccinations, FIV/FeLeuk negative, spayed, micr-chipped and ready to start the next chapter of her life being someone's BFFF (Best Feline Friend Forever)! /// MALLORY IS SPONSORED THRU JULY 2019 BY CAROLE MAHAFFEY IN LOVING MEMORY OF HER FELINE FRIEND, BOO.

Looking for a cat that stands out both in looks and personality? Well, then, Tahlia's your girl! This little Calico Manx looks like a rabbit with her round bobbed tail and she has personality out the wazoo! If you prefer a quiet, more independent cat that keeps to itself, then Tahlia's not your girl. If, on the other hand, you want a cat that loves to be with you and will carry on a conversation for days, you HAVE to come out and meet Tahlia! This pretty little gal is very curious and loves to check out every nook and cranny of her surroundings. She comes (and answers) when called and is almost dog-like. Tahlia is sure to keep her adopter entertained for many years to come. To find out if she'd be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by our shelter soon! /// TAHLIA IS SPONSORED THRU NOVEMBER 2019 BY JENNIFER ARNETT IN HONOR OF DAHLI AND GRACIE.

Tubby
Dog, Young, Male, Medium
Chihuahua
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungMaleMediumChihuahua
It might take a little coaxing on your part to get Tubby to let down his guard, but your effort will be well-rewarded when he covers you with kisses! Tubby and his sister, Flicka, were surrendered to a local rescue which, because it was over-loaded, brought the dogs to us. Tubby (at 10-lbs) and Flicka (at 3-lbs) were born in April of 2018 and, like most siblings, they are both alike and different. Flicka is tiny and overly confident while Tubby is bigger in stature but a little on the reclusive side initially. Both dogs, once you make friends with them, are very affectionate, attentive and playful. Tubby tends to be more of a lap dog while Flicka is busy, busy, busy! They are like Yin and Yang and compliment each other in all the right ways despite their differences. Tubby, however, does have moments of jealousy around Flicka and he doesn't hold back on letting her know when he's not in a sharing mood. Although these two are siblings, we don't think they'd have any trouble being separated. In fact, we think they might enjoy being your 'one and only' - especially Tubby. We weren't given any history on Tubby and Flicka other than their age so we don't know if they are house - and/or crate-trained, or how they are with kids, cats or other dogs. While they will use newspaper in a pinch to potty, they both prefer to do their business outside. They both love toys and both are more than happy to give you kisses. If you have room in your heart and home for Tubby (and maybe Flicka, too?), just stop by the shelter soon and ask to meet him. He's neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. /// TUBBY IS SPONSORED THRU NOVEMBER 2019 BY OUR FRIENDS AT OLDFATHER LAW FIRM.

Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungMaleMediumAustralian-Shepherd
Meet Meeko! This handsome, high-energy Miniature Australian Shepherd was born on 10/20/18 and purchased from a breeder at the age of 6 weeks. His owners had intended for Meeko to be a service dog for an ill member in the family. Unfortunately, the two were not a good fit for each other. Meeko was just too energetic and his behavior a little too frantic. It wasn't easy for the family to finally come to the conclusion that Meeko would be much happy in a home with people that were younger, healthier and more active than them. However, they loved Meeko enough to want him to have a better life. We promised them we would make sure that Meeko's next home would be the perfect fit for him. To help us do that, they shared with us that Meeko is '90%' house-trained to outside but will use puppy pads inside; is used to sleeping in bed with them at night and has never been crated more than 4 hours when left alone; loves car rides and leash walks; takes time to acclimate to chidren and, because of his strong herding instincts, would not do well in a home with young children (under age 12); gets along well with most dogs after an introductory period and might be OK with cats (but may find it too difficult to resist herding them, too!); will tear up stuffed toys or stuffed dog beds but loves chew bones and rubber dog toys that squeak; and loves to sit on laps (after he's burned off some energy). Meeko is a truly gorgeous dog and we're sure a lot of people are going to want to adopt him because of that but we take our responsibility of placing our furry guests in the most appropriate homes very seriously. If you work long hours, aren't a very energetic person and aren't willing to spend several hours a day exercising Meeko's mind and body, don't have a fenced yard, or have young children who live in or frequently visit your home, Meeko is not a good fit for you. The poor guy has already had his heart broken once and that was pretty hard on him so we want to do everything we possibly can to make sure his next home will be his home for the rest of his life. So, please research this breed and do an honest assessment of your ability to meet Meeko's needs. If you think you all might be perfect for each other, stop by our shelter to fill out an application and meet him.

CatBabyMaleMediumDomestic-Short-Hair
Meet Axel! One of a litter of five born on 4/04/19, Axel is the most out-going of the kittens. And you can almost see that in the great picture his foster dad took of him. He's got his paws crossed and all relaxed as if he's thinking, "No matter what happens, I got this!" Like most kittens, Axel is curious, playful, and great at getting into just about everything (even things he shouldn't)! If you would like to give Axel (and maybe one of his siblings, too) a loving and committed forever home, just stop by the shelter soon!

CatBabyMaleMediumDomestic-Short-Hair
Atkins and his brother, Anders, are almost identical and, like most twins, they are 'bonded at the hip.' These two boys LOVE to wrestle with each other then cuddle up together when they need a catnap. Sometimes, it's hard to tell where one kitten begins and the other ends! Born on 4/04/19, Atkins is your typical kitten - curious, playful, and great at getting into just about everything (even things he shouldn't)! Atkins is a little more confident than Anders (that two-ounce difference in his weight must be an extra dose of courage). If you would like to give Atkins (and pretty please, Anders, too) a loving and committed forever home, just stop by the shelter soon!

CatBabyFemaleMediumDomestic-Short-Hair
Aster is one of five little kittens born to Aurora on 4/04/19. She is the shyest kitten in the litter and, unlike most kittens, doesn't care for canned food - it's dry food or nothing. Shyness aside, Aster still behave like your typical kitten - curious, playful, and great at getting into just about everything (even things she shouldn't)! Give her a little time to get all settled in and comfortable, then watch out! If you would like to give Aster (and maybe one of her siblings, too) a loving and committed forever home, just stop by the shelter soon!

CatAdultFemaleMediumDomestic-Medium-Hair
On May 16, 2019, Dasha and her four little kittens were surrendered to us by a family that had far more animals than they were capable of caring for. Poor Dasha was very emaciated and, as evidenced by her severely underweight and malnourished kittens, didn't have enough milk to feed the babies. After some time in foster care, she (and her babies) put on some much needed weight but Dasha is still a bit on the slender side. With her slinky walk and beautiful topaz yellow-colored eyes, Dasha could easily be a top fashion model (if cats had jobs). Now that her motherly duties have been fulfilled, Dasha is ready to start the next exciting chapter of her life - being someone's Best Feline Friend Furever! Dasha is a very sweet and loving cat that enjoys human company. She also has a curious personality and loves to explore her surroundings. Dasha hasn't had any trouble adjusting to the other cats sharing her room so we think she'd do fine in a home that already has another feline-friendly cat or too. Of course, we doubt she'd mind too terribly much if she was just your 'one and only.' To find out if darling Dasha would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by our shelter and ask to meet her.

Wisky

Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungFemaleMediumCairn-Terrier
Wisky was surrendered to a representative of a rescue that didn't have any foster homes available at the time so they asked us to help them out. This pretty little brindle terrier mix came with another dog, Chuckie, but it's uncertain if Chuckie is Wisky's dad, brother, or no relation at all. While Chuckie is very confident and outgoing, Wisky is a little more reserved and you have to work at the privilege of getting some of her sweet puppy kisses. She doesn't appear to have had much experience with leash-walking and we are working on building up her confidence and diminishing the fear she feels when something surprises her on a walk. A home with a structural fenced yard will give Wisky the safer environment she'll need to feel more comfortable and 'let her hair down' because, when she does, look out! She runs and leaps and you can almost see a big smile on her face as she revels in the experience! Wisky allegedly didn't have a very good life in her original home so we're going to do everything we can to make sure her next home is the most 'pawsome' home ever! To find out if Wisky would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her. She can't go to her adopter's home until after her 6/05/19 spay but we are taking applications on her now.

Flicka
Dog, Young, Female, Medium
Chihuahua
Spayed/NeuteredHas Shots
DogYoungFemaleMediumChihuahua
Flicka may tip the scales at only a tad bit over 4-lbs but this 1-year old Chihuahua is a mighty force to be reckoned with! She's like a little flea jumping all over the place - full of energy and kisses! Flicka's not much for sitting on laps - or sitting still, for that matter - but she's a very affectionate little gal. She just prefers to be moving as she gives you a quick kiss! Flicka also loves to eat and would probably eat her weight in dog food if we let her. We're pretty sure a lot of people are going to fall in love with Flicka (how could you NOT?!) In addition to being adorably cute and having tons of personality, Flicka is also very smart and quickly learned the 'routine' here at ACS. Flicka will need some work in the house-training department so make sure you have the experience, time and patience (not to mention a healthy budget for cleaning supplies) to tackle this issue. She's as cute as can be but "cute" wears off real fast when the dog isn't catching on to things as quickly as you had anticipated. Unfortunately, we weren't given much history on Flicka so we don't know with certainty on how she is with kids or cats. Since most cats are going to be bigger than her, we think Flicka is intelligent enough to weigh her options wisely. As for children, her tiny stature rules out a home where young children live or frequently visit. It wouldn't take much to seriously injure a dog as small as Flicka. There were other dogs in Flicka's previous home but we weren't told how she behaved around them. Any dogs in a potential adopters home would have to be under 10-lbs to minimize the risk of her getting hurt accidentally. We DO know that Flicka is a very loving little dog that will make some lucky adopter very happy! If you have room in your heart and home for Flicka, stop by the shelter soon and ask to meet her.

CatBabyFemaleMediumDomestic-Short-Hair
Snuggles is one of five kittens (and the only girl) born on 4/17/19 in foster care. Her foster mom told us that Snuggles loves to climb and play and isn't fond of being held for very long. Guess she's just too eager to explore the big wide world out there! If you prefer a curious and adventurous personality in a kitten, then Snuggles is your girl! When she's done playing, however, Snuggles can usually be found taking a catnap snuggled up to one or more of her siblings. We think Snuggles would love to have another feline-friendly young cat to be her playmate and to keep her company when her adopter is gone from the home. To find out if Snuggles would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet her!

Skittles is one of five kittens born on 4/17/19 in foster care. His foster mom told us that Skittles if very sweet and loves to run and play. If your life needs some excitement and want to give Skittles a loving and committed forever home, he sure would like to meet you. Skittles also loves curling up with his siblings for an energy restoring catnap after a session of 'kitten krazy' playing. We think he'd enjoy being part of a household that already has another feline-friendly kitten or young cat to be his playmate and to keep him company when his adopter was away from the home.

He also loves curling up next to his siblings for catnaps.

Scooter is one of five kittens born 4/17/19 in foster care.

Scooter just couldn't wait to embark on what we're sure will be many, many exciting adventures over his lifetime. He loves to play with toys (real or invisible!) and he's a hoot to watch as he scampers all around his condo.

Hello! My name is Aurora because my foster mom thought my eyes and coat were as beautiful as the Aurora Borealis. I'm not sure what that is but I totally agree that I am quite the looker! The person who had me didn't take good care of me and I ended up lost. The people who found me kept me warm and fed me but another cat in their home got me pregnant. They brought me here and my wonderful foster mom and dad gave me lots of love and gave me a safe and comfortable environment to have and take care of my babies. Now my motherly duties are fulfilled and I'm ready to start the next new chapter of my life as someone's Best Feline Friend! If you would like me to be your BFF, just ask the nice ladies her for an application. I can't go to my new home until after my 6/26/19 spay but you can still pick me now!

Meet Sugar who, with her sweet personality, certainly lives up to her name. And, with those gorgeous peridot-green eyes, she's also quite the looker! When Sugar arrived at our shelter on April 10, 2019, she was very pregnant. One of our wonderful foster moms took Sugar to her home so that the young cat would have a quiet place to have and raise her babies. Sugar brought five little kittens into the world on 4/17/19 and the feline family flourished under the loving care of their foster mom. Now that Sugar's motherly duties have been fulfilled, she's back at ACS waiting for her Special Person to give her a loving and committed forever home. Sugar's foster mom told us that, while Sugar is very sweet, she's not all that much into being held for very long. She is quite content being in the same room with you and keeping you company and readily comes when called. If you would like to join sweet Sugar on the next new exciting chapter of her life, make sure your stop by ACS and ask to meet her! /// SUGAR IS SPONSORED THRU JULY 2019 BY MELISSA ROSE.
