Koda and Pippa Are Ready to Steal Your Heart in September 2023!
These extra-special pets are waiting for their forever homes.
Our staff has picked out a nice dog and cat who deserve a second look.
A lucky potential adopter like you can start with a Statement of Interest.
Meet Koda – Your New Best Friend!
Koda is a delightful 5-year-old, 60lb Shepherd/Malamute mix who absolutely loves engaging in conversations with his humans. He’s a sweetheart who will brighten your days with his cheerful demeanor and that signature wagging tail.
Although he has his moments of energy, he’s a true couch potato who adores snuggling on the couch with you. Koda has mastered basic commands, but a bit more patience during training without treats will do wonders.
Imagine the joy of taking leisurely walks and exciting hikes with Koda by your side. Yes, he’s working on his excitement around other dogs, but he’s making great progress.
When you’re at work or away, you can trust Koda to behave impeccably for 5-6 hours without causing any trouble. He treasures his toys and treats them with utmost care, rarely chewing on them.
Koda has a history of living harmoniously with both dogs and cats, and with a little patience and love, he can make a wonderful addition to your furry family. Plus, he’s already neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccines.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to welcome Koda into your life. He’s not just a pet; he’s a loyal friend who will bring happiness and warmth to your home every day. Consider making Koda a part of your family today! You can get started by completing a Statement of Interest.
Pippa’s Plea: A Loving Family to Call Her Own
Pippa, a sweet 6-year-old with an old soul, enjoys lounging in comfy cat beds, basking in the sun, and being pampered. She quickly adapts to new environments and captures hearts wherever she goes. Pippa loves cuddling up while you watch TV, occasionally stealing the spotlight to get all the attention. She’s a true people cat and prefers to be your one and only.
Low-maintenance with humans, Pippa craves love and is ready to be spoiled by her forever person. While she’s been an outdoor cat before, she’s best suited for an indoor life. Pippa could use a bit of help shedding some extra weight through a wet-food diet.
Rest assured, all our cats come spayed/neutered, microchipped, and with initial vaccinations. Pippa’s adoption fee is $130, or $195 for a bonded pair. If you’re ready to provide a loving forever home for this charming cat, fill out a statement of interest today. Pippa is waiting to bring joy and companionship to your life!
