Typical for a Chocolate Lab (mix), Flip Flop is very social and especially loves the company of children. She’s a young dog, around one to two-years-old, and her youthful energy abounds. Flip Flop is also very well-mannered and walks well on a leash. (Leash walking is GREAT exercise and activity for her.) She recently returned from a month-long stint at Camp Chinquapin for Critters where she enjoyed time in a doggie play group and was schooled in good behavior. She is already spayed and ready to move into a home today!

Clara is currently at PetSmart for you to visit. Her etiquette lesson’s as warm and winsome as her face is in person, and her lovely demeanor makes you want to pour a nice cup of tea with her and chat away the problems of the world. Meet our 3-year-old Clara and you’ll see that she looks like a children’s book illustration come to life — she’s classically quaint, dainty and feminine, with a soft, fluffy coat so polite she barely sheds. Clara was turned in because her owner had money problems, she’s friendly with other cats but her first interest is in you; call her and she’ll trot over with a delicate meow; intelligent, responsive and genuinely pleased to meet you. Clara’s gently refined habits make her a lovely choice for older kids, or a single who wants a stalwart friend who only looks fragile. Stroke your affectionate new ally for life, Clara’s to ready to enrich your home today with her forever-comforting company.

Forget the “working dog” tradition his ancestors are known for, Siberian Husky and Terrier mix “Blaze” is way committed to play — the 4-year-old frisky, romping, prancing, dance around you kind. But call his name and he’ll abandon his game of fetch in an instant, give you a happy kiss and gracefully lie at your feet, too. Blaze was found stray — a medium-built handsome young man with miraculously gentle manners, genuinely wholesome and utterly charming, an excellent choice for even little kids; he’s friendly with other dogs and OK with cats, joyfully motivated by your attention and keenly eager to learn. Blaze is set be your stellar inside/outside dog; he enjoys a leash, keeps a clean, orderly run and is making good progress on his house-training. Devotion never smiled more genuinely, come today to meet your superb new son.

Her name’s “Zero” because we can’t begin to count all her delightful ways; her unusual markings alone are a treasure, as if at first she couldn’t decide whether to be clean white or soft gray; but they’re only a fun diversion from this 4-year-old’s infinite friendship, as vast as she is pint-sized, and patterned only with happy purrs, gentle head butts and intelligent meow-talk. Zero’s owner couldn’t keep her and regretfully turned her in, she gets along fine with other cats — dogs too — but you alone are the catnip of her delicately adoring heart. Zero would be a perfect pick for kids — cozy, affectionate, trustworthy and child-sized, a cat named for nothing who’ll be their everything. She’s already spayed and ready to go home, to complete the palace of your lap; come revel in the pleasure one little Zero can add to your life.

Steel yourself for the blue-gray beauty of our exquisite American Staffordshire mix Marion; at 2 years old and only 48 lbs., she’s as ladylike inside as her chiseled Grace Kelly face — but when she breezes by to retrieve the last toy you threw, you’ll see that her passion for playtime is probably her greatest appeal. Marion was found stray, complete with manners so refined she’s too polite to shed; she’s calm in her kennel, affectionate and attentive when you let her out. Her love of a treat, avid intelligence and cooperative spirit make her achingly trainable — she already walks proudly on a leash and sits on command. We’re certain Marion will blossom in any size home with access to outdoor play space; bigger kids are perfect pals, she likes to choose her dog playmates and kindly requests “no cats.” See how pleasingly the clean cool of Marion’s gleaming coat belies her ardent warmth; you’ll meet the truest-blue companion you’ll ever find.

She’s a cat for all seasons — at least those in which a constant friend with an abundant, instant purr is welcome, one whose bounty is her full devotion to you. Pretty Autumn was turned in by her owner, an airy-soft, intelligent and warmly social 3 year old with a personality more colorful than her name; she comes when you call her, always ready for an entertaining meow-chat, or even a serious conversation about world events. Her concern and affection are endless, “Talk-rub-talk-rub-talk-rub” is her mantra, and she wants you all to herself, too. (Autumn would be a wonderful, gentle choice for children, but sharing you with other cats is beneath her.) When you tire of visiting she’s just as thrilled to curl up in your lap so you can admire her myriad markings; her coat’s immaculate and she’s already spayed and micro chipped, ready to go home with you today to prove just how delightfully opposite-of-aloof a cat can be. See what a genuine BFF feels like; and how much fun it is to have your very own Autumn.

Honor his intelligence and independence — proud hallmarks of his sled dog ancestry — and our majestic young almond-colored Siberian Husky/Shar-Pei mix Chevy can become the show dog of your heart and home. True to his background, one-year-old Chevy’s athletic, confident and naturally well-behaved, full of amiable energy and the potential to become a stellar family dog. He was found stray; perhaps his previous owners didn’t give him both the focused attention and the room to run he needs. Chevy’s good on a leash and already partially house trained; his heart’s as big and playful as the rest of him. We recommend an inside/outside environment for Chevy, one filled with mutual devotion. Meet the stuff that legends are made of; our legend’s name is “Chevy.”

She’s a tortoise shell cat extraordinaire, spun of silky gold and soft onyx, with a 24-carat heart that never stops showing how “into you” she really is. Five-year-old Cindy’s a pure extrovert — attentive, outgoing, fun-loving, and the finest of friend-makers; she’ll hop on your shoulder to snuggle and visit, and then shine her sparkling social spirit on other pets too. (In fact Cindy comes from a home where she befriended a Rottweiler, don’t big dogs need buddies?). Cindy’s owner could no longer care for her, too many pets; now she’s ready to grace you and yours with a wealth of affection. Cindy’s already spayed and micro-chipped, set to start your New Year off today with the loyal companionship you both so richly deserve. Visit and wonder how you ever lived without her.
