AO6-1282 DACHSHUND MIX-OWNER SURRENDER-RESCUED!


This adorable little girl is about 6 months old. She was left at the shelter by her owner along with the older Doxie listed below, when they lost their home. I am guessing at her breed mix here.

AO6-1264 SHEPHERD MIX-GWEN-RESCUED BY DRDR!


This girl is about 2 years old. She was at the front of her cage, wagging her tail while I petted her; then a big dog barked next door to her and she got scared. That's why she looks startled in this pic; she is a sweet dog who needs a second chance. Her last day is listed as June 1.

AO6-1120 DMH TABBY


Like her friend listed below, this kitty stayed too long on the feral side of the shelter before calming down enough to get moved to the adoption area, so now her time is short! She is super sweet, in my opinon. She was purring and enjoying some attention. Her last day is listed as May 18.

AO6-1121 DMH TABBY


This kitty spent a little too much time in the feral cages at the shelter before being deemed friendly enough to go up for adoption, so now his time is short! He was perfectly content to stay in his litter box while I took his pic, but got up for some petting right after that. His last day is listed as May 18.

AO6-1122 BORDER COLLIE-ECHO-RESCUED BY DRDR!


Echo is a male BC or high mix who is a really nice dog. He is very social and has a sweet, loving demeanor. He does not appear to be nearly as high energy as most BCs are, so you get the beauty and brains of the breed without all the energy. His last day is listed as May 18.

BO6-307 AKITA MIX-RESCUED BY DRDR!


This is a very big boy, about 2 years old. The shelter has him listed as a Rottie mix, but I am guessing Akita. His ears are usually erect and he has curly tail. His coloring reminds me of a Beagle, tri color with a black saddle. He seems to be pretty laid back and likes to be petted. His last day is listed as May 18.

AO6-1128 HEELER MIX-RESCUED BY DRDR!


This cute little girl is just around a year old and has one blue eye and one brown eye. She is very playful and it was really hard getting her to sit still for her pic. Her last day is listed as May 19.
