Whitman is a 2-year-old Lab mix ready for his freedom after three months of recovering at the shelter.

He arrived in a terrible condition and it has taken a lot of TLC by the staff to treat his skin issues and his heartworms. Whitman is now healed up, happy, and ready to share his sloppy kisses and his happy whole-body-wag.

Cottontail is a 3-year-old medium haired, front-declawed cat. Her unique pattern and distinct beauty draw you in, but it is something in her brilliant green eyes that speaks to you—that tells you she needs you. Cottontail is seeking a forever kind of home and love where she will feel safe and treasured. She will take some time to readjust to a new place; with patience and kindness she will.
