He’ll fetch and return a hundred times, and if his furrowed brow looks worried it’s only because he’s afraid you’ll ask him to share his squeaky toy — it’s the only thing this 7-month-old Jack Russell/Shar-pei mix won’t give; his boyish heart and playful devotion are yours for the asking. Arnie’s the darling of the play yard — he loves kids, other dogs and running right into your arms when you call his name. Arnie’s almost grown and on the small side of medium, a handsomely-built, highly-trainable bundle of affection who can proudly “sit” on command. He’s good on a leash and is working on his house training; all he needs is your time and attention. If you’re ready to meet the prize of a lifetime, Arnie and his squeaky toy are ready too; come see how quickly he can fetch his jubilant young heart to yours.

Paint an orange-golden portrait of an inside cat and the image of our regal young Leon will emerge — clean, quiet, attentive and warmly affectionate — and also declawed; he’ll happily make your home his graceful kingdom, but this handsome tabby prince must rule from your lap, not your yard. Two-year-old Leon’s owner moved and gave him to us, now he’s ready to show you how seriously social he is; companionship is his calling and hobnobbing his imperative, he head-butts his respect and face-rubs his love, there’s usually no need for a plain old “meow,” unless it’s breakfast time, when he takes a break from his non-verbal friendship to roll on his back and chat you up, his own very special expression of gratitude. Leon’s so tidy he could star in a cat box commercial, but he doesn’t keep company with dogs, and we suggest no small children. Come see how soft his strong regard for you can be; Leon can’t wait to turn his earnestly handsome face to yours and lock eyes forever, then show you just where to sink your fingers into his airy, immaculate coat. Leon’s already neutered and ready to go home with you today, don’t wait.

Squeaky toys and tug of war are two of his favorite playthings, but it’s your company that’s the most fun of all; our life-of-the-party Dachshund Sambo will happily follow you anywhere, and his enthusiastic smile and windmill tail are a permanent part of his persona. Sambo’s owner moved and sadly gave him to us, now our 5-year-old Mr. Congeniality’s busy demonstrating his vast social skills — he routinely wins popularity contests with dogs big and small, and humans of all sizes too. His playful energy never runs out, but when he crawls into your lap he’ll show you his snuggle-side; Sambo soaks up love like a sponge, and you’ll never find a greater admirer, or one more willing to share you. Sambo’s an ideal pet an active family with bigger kids — he loves a yard to run in, enjoys a leash and is working on his housetraining. Come see how much joy this adoring Dachsund sidekick can bring to your home; he’s already neutered and ready to roll right into your fun-loving life.

She showcases the spectrum of the Calico rainbow with stunning elegance, but it’s her shyly sweetly nature that’s most amazing; her heart covers every hue of loving tenderness, and her warm slender body can envelope you in serene affection just by holding her. Array was found stray, a small but full grown one-year-old with manners as pristine as her clear, clean colors. She’s a quick friend-maker with other cats, gets along fine with dogs, is a tidy box keeper and a fastidious groomer; her white parts are so immaculate she fairly sparkles, and her winsome face is beyond calendar-worthy. She’ll request her breakfast with a courteous purr-meow, and give an appreciative head-butt thank you before the first bite. Array’s lived life on the street and knows that heaven is snuggling you; she’s already spayed and ready to go home today. Come behold the tri-color beauty of this classic young Calico friend, and embrace her singular devotion to you, you, you.

Her pedigree says “Pamper me,” and when you hold her like a smiling child you’ll know she’s pure Pekingese through and through — cheerful, cooperative, loving and housetrained, an always-fun sidekick who lives for the thrill of being with you. Four-year-old Bon Bon is clearly lost, she’s healthy and already spayed; now it’s time for her to grace your home with her ladylike diplomacy and fun, undemanding companionship. Bon Bon welcomes a nice leash-walk enthusiastically and makes it her mission to never meet a stranger. Come hug our fluffy stuffed-toy come to life, and see how Bon Bon’s oh-so-real heart feels when it beats joyfully next to yours.

She’s a pint-sized gift wrapped in tiger-and-white velvet, and she’ll cradle you in a luscious purr that’s bigger than both of you put together. At one year old Vivi’s an ever-pouring fountain of pure contentment — adoring you is what she was born for, and her miniature form makes her ginormous warmth that much more touching. Vivi was found stray, who knows how she learned to love so earnestly; she’s so determined to share affection she’ll Houdini herself into the next cage to make fast friends with the neighboring cat. Vivi’s tidy, patient and gentle, and would make a lovely first pet for your kids, who’ll delight in her ermine-soft fur, kittenish size and fervent face-rubbing devotion. Her face is patchwork but her passion for treasuring you is cut from a single fine cloth; come let Vivi hold you in her steadfast little paws.

His name is Canyon and the depth of his Dachshund appeal defies description — the gleam of his black and brown coat is rivaled only by the playful gleam in his eye, and when he runs to you his jubilant spirit reaches you even before his beautifully-built young body. Canyon was turned in by his owner; we don’t know why; at 2 1/2 years-young he’s amiable, outgoing, energetic and responsive; he loves other dogs, adores children and will gaze into your eyes dreamily when you hold him like a baby, only to smile and strut his glorious stuff when you put him down. Canyon’s currently a model citizen at our Camp Good Dog; radiantly happy amidst a noisy crowd of kids and canines, eager to learn and cooperate. He enjoys a leash, is working on his housetraining, and is destined to become your perfectly darling family dog. He’s already neutered and ready to go home. Come hold Canyon close to you today and hear his boyish heart echo in response; “I’ll love you forever,” it will say, “Ever, ever, ever, ever.”

She comes at a run when you call her name — alert, affectionate, and as supremely attentive to your needs as she was to her carefully-raised kittens’. But then being the consummate homemaker comes naturally to our immaculate 4-year-old “Kat;” when she’s in the mood to redecorate she’ll even drag her immense water bowl across her cage, without spilling a single drop. For all her efficiency there’s nothing cold about her — Kat knows that a good friend needs a nice warm head butt every few seconds and she dispenses them generously. Kat was found stray and now takes nothing for granted; her life’s work is to make you feel loved and she succeeds in fine fashion, a forever-small black and white advocate who will dote on you and your kids with endless fascination. Kat has no use for dogs and cares little for other cats, her box is neater than a pin, she’s happy both inside and out and she’s ready to become the backbone of your family, as long as you’re willing to receive her fervent Kat caresses. Come see how much fun a vibrant purr backed by unconditional devotion can be.
