Did you know that February is Responsible Pet Owner Month? This month celebrates all of us who are responsible pet owners and all who take the care of animals seriously.

Featured Dog: Bash
Super-friendly, lots of energy and really bright – that’s Bash! He loves meeting new people because he’s hoping one of them will take him home. The thought of having a real family is almost too much for him to handle. He’s gets giddy with excitement, wiggling and hopping around. Bash will make a great hiking or jogging buddy. And smart? He already understands sit and down. He is a nice mix of breeds, cattle dog and maybe basenji due to the curly tail. He is a medium size dog. Excellent on a leash. He will need to be in a home without children.
Other available dogs:
Bugsy- Male young terrier blend. Lots of energy, he loves to play with toys.
Rosie- Female black and gray Border collie/cattle dog. Very bright and a quick learner. Full of energy she wants to please.
Patches- Female young terrier/Dachshund. Very energetic although she can be a little shy.
Featured Cat: Bart
Bart is a very handsome boy who is anxious to find his forever home. He has had a lot of recent changes in his life and is feeling pretty insecure. His owner moved and after having Bart for a number of years could not take him along. Bart will benefit from a quiet environment where he can adjust slowly with some love and encouragement. He loves being petted and sitting quietly beside you. **I am a front paw declaw**
