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.

He’s one cool Dude in his own warm say, and the only thing more pleasing than his ultra- reliable housetraining is his sunny, supportive 24/7 smile. His owner had to move and regretfully gave us his beautifully schooled prize; The Dude’s an intelligent 3-year-young Red Heeler/American Staffordshire mix gentleman whose manners are immaculate; he’s a shelter office dog for now and a more civilized housemate you won’t find. The Dude’s as refined as you can be and still have fun — he doesn’t chew, won’t jump on you, and the only thing he’ll knock over is your heart; he’s patient with cats, great with kids, and he never meets a stranger; please test him with your current dog. The Dude’s highly food motivated, cooperative and responsive, teaching him new tricks would be fun; or just let him show your family how a courtly inside/outside guy behaves. If you’re ready to give your heart away to a handsome young sidekick who’ll shadow you happily, or simply need a friendly etiquette lesson, come and see The Dude.

Her owner moved and left her with us, but our gracious, affection-filled Little Debbie doesn’t belong here any more than a man in the moon — a full moon that is. At 8 years and 19 mostly soft-gray lbs., she’s just as large and lovely, and she’s replete with luminous personhood, too. Hold her and you’ll know you’re with a solid friend, the soft-voiced but chatty kind, who purrs a deep throaty purr, kneads your knees while she listens to your triumphs and tragedies, and eclipses the problems of the day with her very presence. Little Debbie’s an appreciative girl too — she gets along fine with other cats, keeps her white paws fastidiously clean, and would make a wise and gentle inside/outside pet for children. Her health is splendid and she’s already spayed; Little Debbie’s all set to light up your days, and your nights too, with her ample, love-beaming ways. Come see how much fun it is to be moonstruck, and how much more there is to love with our ever-so-deserving Little Debbie.

There’s no official breed listing of a Labra-Basset, but our charming Betty Boop’s here to challenge that — hers is indeed a rare breed of appeal, and of her many assets nothing shines brighter than her amiable, outgoing ways, not even the sheen on her beautiful black coat. One-year-old Betty Boop was returned to us because she grew too big, now she’s dazzling one and all with her fun, adoring, ever-so-social spirit; she’ll follow you anywhere with a smile, an instant friend-maker, patient and gentle, quick to roll on her back for a fine tummy rub, and beamingly happy to lie at your feet. Betty Boop shows infinite patience in our busy office, even cats who don’t like her can’t turn off her friendly, accepting approach, and she’s fine with other dogs too, even those not as beautiful as her intriguingly well-made self. Betty Boop’s destined to be a selfless, loyal and trustworthy companion for kids and a prized family member; she’s great on a leash and is waiting to walk with you into a future as happy as her ever-cheerful heart. Come meet a new form of love, the kind that’s pure Betty Boop, and see just how special her gleaming friendship can be.

Take her down from her window seat and she’ll reward you with a wealth of affection, but Molly’s a Tortoise-Shell cat after all, said to bring good luck and even some financial good fortune — look into her gorgeous tri-color face and you’ll see she’s a bonus calico, too, long-haired and stunning. At 4 years old Molly’s just a little slip of a thing underneath her opulent orange and black coat; she was turned in because of pet allergies, and now she’s determined to enrich her new family’s lives with her soft voice, tender head butts and fervent ankle rubs, all wrapped in a profusion of purrs. Molly’s gentle, social and attentive, and would make a wonderful companion for your young ones; she gets along fine with other cats and she’s a tidy little girl; her box is neat and her alabaster bib and paws are clean, feminine and carefully groomed. She’s been declawed and so must stay indoors. If you’re ready to treasure Molly as dearly as she’ll treasure you, come hold her and feel the sweet prosperity she’ll pour right into your heart.
