Moe
3 year old maleMeet Moe! He is a handsome 3 year old male kitty. Moe is very friendly and does great with other cats. He had Stomatitis which is inflammation of the mouth. The only treatment is extraction of the teeth. He has had surgery which removed all but his canines. The surgery does not effect him and actually makes me alot more comfortable since he is no longer painful. Stop by our shelter to meet Moe!

Veronica
3-yr-old ChihuahuaVeronica is a 3-yr-old Chihuahua weighing 7 lbs. She is a miracle dog! She came in as a stray, totally dehydrated, starved, full of fleas and with muscle wasting. She had a pelvic fracture and a broken leg which is still dangling. She walks perfectly on 3 legs but when she has recovered we will have the leg removed. She also had a severe hernia which has been repaired and she has heartworms. They originally thought she was going to make it, but she is a fighter and she is now thriving. She is an absolute love. She is always wagging her tail and wanting attention. Due to the severity of her condition, we will be doing slow kill for the heartworm treatment. Her adoption donation is $350 which includes her spay, hernia repair, vaccinations, heartworm treatment and microchip.
