The shelter has a new arrival. Her name is Beauty and she is a long-haired, frosted-tip adult cat. And she is a true beauty with a delightful personality. She has been vetted and is ready to go to her forever home. Please come by and meet her if you are a lover of long-haired cats. She is currently residing in the cat room with the orange senior citizen Milo.

Also available is a five-year-old female Keeshond named Keesha. She is medium size with a fluffy gray and black coat. Please contact the shelter if you think you may be interested in this dog.

Another adoptee, who would be perfect for a lover of giant dogs, is Kimbo, the English Mastiff. He is a six year old and due to his age the adoption fee will waived. Like all giant breeds he is a gentle soul.

And let’s all keep our fingers crossed for Stella, the chocolate Labrador retriever who is out on a trial. We hope this will be her new forever family.
