Hoops isn’t named after the slang term for basketball, but instead for half of the beloved Hallmark duo “Hoops & YoYo.” She was found stray and it’s assumed she’s the product an American Staffordshire Terrier and large bunny rabbit. Full of curious energy, Hoops loves toys, people — especially children — but not cats. She is one focused puppy during her daily training. When queued to sit, she bypasses that “middle part” and drops to the floor to lie down. If you are looking to bring an active and loving dog into your family, visit Hoops at the Animal Shelter today!

Like most introverts, Nora enjoys time alone. She’s fine with other cats, but because she’s naturally independent, she leaves socializing to them. From her cat bed she observes the antics and habits of her feline roommates and probably rolls her eyes at them now and again. Nora has an “only child” personality and wants total autonomy of the decision-making, at least when it concerns her. Play time, rest time, and cuddle time are all subject to her scheduling and desire. Because of her quiet and sensitive personality, she is most comfortable around adults and would be happiest in a low activity home where she can spend her days in quiet self-reflection … and napping.

Just like the firearms manufacturer he’s named for, our “Ruger” is also rugged and reliable. His irresistible Retriever good looks, golden red coat, and matching amber eyes will captivate you. He loves to fetch, is highly trainable — he has learned to lie down and roll over– and has the reputation of being the cleanest dog in the Adoption Center! If you would like a great family-friendly dog, who loves kids, and a devoted companion, visit Ruger and you may just find your new best friend.

Sassy is just that — sassy! She is okay with other cats, but is rather insistent that she be the boss. And if she’s not happy, or even when she is, she’ll tell you all about it. She talks and talks and talks. When she’s not talking, she’s thinking about what she’s going to say next. Sassy’s a plump, beautiful red and brown Tabby who is declawed on all four feet, so she will be best protected being an indoor cat, which you will want because her affection is therapy for the soul. Sassy’s currently be showcased at Petsmart in their cat condos, where she’s sharing her world views with all the other cats and anyone who will listen.

Except for the funny snort that escapes through his steadfast smile, our 6-year-old yellow Lab/mix Emerson’s a refined gentleman — calm, respectful, loving and solidly handsome, a champion leash-walker who’ll sit for a treat, take a graceful trot around the yard and kennel himself cooperatively upon request (he likes to keep his run clean, too.) Emerson was found stray, but he’s too well-raised not to have had a family; now he’s eager to show you how beautifully he behaves with kids big and small, and how well his warm attitude, diplomacy skills and big-guy sensitivity fit into your home. Emerson’s a trustworthy inside-outside kind of family member, a loyal friend who’ll never stop evolving, and a dream student for your every heart’s command — as HSOG’s Pet of the Month his adoption fee’s only $50, so low it’s a scandal. Visit the shelter and call Emerson to you and experience his joyful snort for yourself; you’ll never want to change his happy sound, only hear it each and every day.

She looks like a fluffy black bunny, but even sweeter is her expression of constant amazement, as if life were handing her a series of surprises, each more wondrous than the next (well the cat condos at Petsmart, where she’s waiting to meet you, are pretty darned stunning, at that.) Camilla’s just 11 months young — a softly outgoing, affectionate, attentive little girl; in our big cage here she followed us everywhere, always ready to exchange a face-rub for a pet, and a cozy purr for a snuggle. Camilla was found stray — a gentle street-child born with cat-magazine glamor; hold her to you and she’s all airy fur, but you’ll feel her weighty gratitude. Camilla’s clean and tidy and gets along fine with other cats; she promises to be a tender, patient friend to your kids and a constant companion to you, and show you, if possible, that she’s even prettier inside than out. Visit Camilla at Petsmart today and become the biggest, nicest surprise of her young life; you’ll feel so awed by her charm, your look of amazement may even rival hers.

Forget the artificial stuff, our one year old Whippet/Chihuahua mix “Sugar” is 20 lbs. of authentic sweetness — pure and personable, full of delicate energy but ready to relax in your arms like an infant; graceful, feminine, and runway model slim, with long willowy legs that fold up fine for a snuggle. Sugar’s outgoing, cooperative, attentive and smart — she’ll “sit” and “lie down” for a treat in a second, then fly to give her favorite rope toy a tug and run straight back to you, barely relinquishing the full-body wag that shakes her from head to toe (she’s a wonder on a leash, too). Sugar would make a stylish sidekick for any family and a sublime playmate for kids; a tolerant, trustworthy companion capable of matching their energy and thrilled to oblige; she says “no thanks” to cats. Meet our fashionable girl today and feel her stride right into your heart; your completely real friend’s here, waiting to give her unadulterated goodness.

Her name’s “Squeaky” but there’s nothing mousey about her — she’s more Grace Kelly stunning, a pristine less-than-two-year-old beauty who’ll take your cat-lovin’ breath away, with long fur the color of fine pewter, and a frothy white pendant on her neck too, all underscored by a demeanor as serene as her looks are majestic. Pick her up and you’ll see that she’s mostly air — that and calm kindness — she’ll answer your every caress with a quiet purr and a soft head butt, basking in your attention and ready to give back each appreciative nuzzle, in her own steadfast un-squeaky style. Squeaky makes friends easily with other cats, who tend to forgive her grand appearance because they know her niceness, and she has all the ever-purring patience to make a delightful cat-friend for kids (please remind them to brush her.) Squeaky’s currently ensconced in a Petsmart cat condo, where she can show off her clean box-keeping; go ask to hold her and see how warmly she’ll adorn your shoulder, your home and your life; and how easy it is to be smitten with a girl named Squeaky.
