Meet Toby

ID: C08-001594

Toby here, and I'm back at the shelter. I had a home for five months, then something tragedy struck, and I am back at the shelter where I spent 3 months last summer. I was so happy when I finally got a home, and now I'm homeless again. Could you be my forever home?

Meet Zoe

ID: F08-001760

It's cat season, and I am one of several homeless gray tabbies. Barely past kittenhood, and with no family or home, I need an angel to take me home from the shelter. Can you be my angel?

Meet Colby

ID: F08-001425

I'm Colby, an orange Maine Coon. I like attention very much, but I am not so fond of barking dogs, the latter of which is plentiful at the shelter. Can you help me out?

Meet Chelsea

ID: C07-012405

My name is Chelsea, but some people call me Sweet Pea. My owner couldn't afford the pet deposit for two dogs, so she had to choose. I had a 50/50 chance, but I lost. That was back on November 21st, 2007! She thought it was best that I found another home, because she just didn't have the time to deal with my "handicap". I'm not sure what she meant, because I am beautiful and smart, I LOVE to fetch, and I can leap very high without so much as a running start. I can even walk around off leash without running away. What more could anyone want in a girl?

Apparently not being able to hear is a big deal for some people. See, I am what is called a "Lethal White" Australian Shepherd. It's not actually lethal at all. It just means that because someone bred my parents, who were both merle, a couple of my siblings and I were born mostly white and with either hearing or vision defects. I can't hear, but I watch a lot and have learned lots of tricks to understand the world around me. Even without my hearing I can understand love. For months I have been passed from the shelter to different foster homes to countless adoption events waiting for the moment someone will give me a chance to be a part of their family. Because of my loving foster parents, I am totally housetrained, and very good with children. All this, and I'm only 10 months old! Other dogs are slightly scary to me at first, because I can't hear them coming, but I make pretty fast friends, and I would love another dog to run and play with. I also really like cats, and I'm not too rough with them. I know in my heart that there is someone out there for me. Could you be that person?
