June 24 — Stitch & Frankie

Meet Stitch! 

Hello!

Hi! I’m Stitch! I’m a 2 year old cattle dog mix and I can’t wait to meet you. I’ve been hangin out in a foster home and my foster pop can confirm I’m 1000% good girl. I’m calm and happy to lay at your feet while you work. I like to be your shadow most of the time, but I don’t bother you or whine while you’re eating or if you need to close the door for privacy -I’ll just wait quietly and patiently until you finish. I enjoy cuddling at night and in the morning, but I don’t take up too much space. I enjoy a nice walk and I won’t drag you down the block. So far I’m more interested in people than other doggos, but I don’t mind other pups. Basically if you’re looking for a low-maintenance bud – I’m your gal!

My adoption fee is $200.

June 9 — Corn Fritter & Reeces

Meet Corn Fritter! 

Hello!

I am Corn Fritter! I am a 5-year-old blue tick hound and pit pull terrier mix and just so happen to be the best snuggler around. I’m a very sweet girl and adore playing with my toys: the squeakier the better! I also get along great with other dogs with a proper introduction. One thing I am working on is I don’t like it when other dogs get close when I’m eating or chewing on a bone, but my foster parents think that might be because of my previous life. Other wonderful things about me are I’m completely house trained, I am a skilled walker on the leash, and car rides are my favorite! Pretty much living life is my favorite, and now I need you to enjoy it with me because life is short!

My adoption fee is $200.

Meet Reeces!
LIKES:
I hope you have lots of frequent guests at home, because I love people and I’m NEVER SHY around ANYONE! I’ll follow you around the house and talk up a storm. I’ll cuddle with you every night. And I’ll stretch out and sleep under the sun so you can see all the gorgeous layers of my tortoiseshell coat.

Oh, and if you have a laser pointer…. this is gonna be a good time.

DISLIKES:
Improv comedy. It’s never as good as you thought it was going to be.

Hi!

I am a spunky and confident boy. Yes, I really am as happy as I look! I love play dates with other dogs – as soon as they realize I’m the one in charge, things are fine. I’m kind of a work hard, play hard kind of guy. Without the work hard part. I want to be the center of your world and will do anything to please you! I have tons of energy. At the end of the day, I’ll end up in your lap, exhausted.

May 26 — Shenzi & Daisy

Meet Shenzi! 

Hi, my name is Shenzi and I am looking for my forever home. I love going on walks and meeting new people. I am confused by lizards. I like to follow them around and have staring contests until one of us chickens out and runs away. I love snuggling and a good belly rub. I also enjoy testing the limit on these neat squeaky toys. I share my toys with anyone who wants to play with me! I am completely house trained and even know how to sit and stay on command. My foster mom is working on “”shake”” with me but, come on, I’m just a puppy! I am looking for a home that will play with me, take me on walks, but also like to spend quiet, snuggle time.

My adoption fee is $200.

Meet Puddle! 

Hi, I’m Puddle and I’m pleased to meet you. I’m a lovely young lady (around 4 month old) ready to find my forever home. I’m headed to a foster home so I can work on my training.

I can’t wait to find my family and I hope they’re prepared to give me endless treats because I don’t work for free 🙂

May 12 — Artichoke & Puzzel

Meet Artichoke! 

Hi! I’m Artichoke. I love long snuggle sessions on the sofa and stopping to smell EVERY smell on my walks. I also love a good thunder/lightning storm and I don’t get scared or stressed one bit! 🙂 I have energy if you’d like to play and endless snuggles if you’d like to relax. You decide! I am always up for either! I get along with new people quickly, but I haven’t had the chance to encounter large groups/lots of strangers/other dogs yet. I get along with my foster home’s neighbor dog and have accepted my new roommate, the cat. We are already making great strides towards being friends. I would rather not be locked in the crate without some training/positive reinforcement. I love to lay in there on my own, but I need a little convincing that closing/locking the gate isn’t bad news. I need someone to give all this love to and a squishy sofa to cuddle on! Are you ready for all these snuggles?

My adoption fee is $200.

Meet Puzzel!
Hi!

My name is Puzzel. I’m brand new to the shelter, so my true colors haven’t quite come out yet. All of the changes in my life are pretty overwhelming/stimulating, so it may take some time for my personality to really shine. I recently went to a foster home who is learning all about me.

My adoption fee is $85, or $125 for me and another kitty.

May 5 — Syrup & Slink (ADOPTED)

Meet Syrup! 
Hi! My name is Syrup, and although I’m still young, I’ve got a lot of personality. I like to be near my people, whether that’s chewing on toys while you watch TV or cuddled up right next to you. I LOVE my foster sibling and all I want to do all day is try to get her to play with me. I jump on her and try to get her attention but I’m not too bothered when she ignores me, there’s always toys to play with! My favorite thing is running laps around the backyard until I’m pooped and then flopping down to chew on a stick or a stuffed animal. I love when it’s time to eat too! And my love for food makes me motivated to learn some obedience commands. I’m still little so I’m not really potty trained, but I know not to go in my crate, and I love to take naps and sleep in there at night. I also like to go in there just to rest sometimes during the day and play with my toys. I’m going to be a really loyal friend, so apply to adopt me today!

My adoption fee is $200.

Meet Slink! (ADOPTED)
Hi, I’m Slink! My foster mom calls me Slinky because I’m a goofy girl with lots of kitten energy and purr cuddles. I have been living with two adult kitties now, and I get along great with them. One of them, my foster sister Pepper, doesn’t really like me, but that’s ok! I’m good at giving Pepper her space and we never have conflicts. My foster brother is my wrestle and chasing buddy! I love to be a lap cat too. Since my foster mom works from home, I like to sit on a blanket on her desk and take a nap while she works. I have the world’s greatest purr and absolutely love cuddling on the couch!

My adoption fee is $85, or $125 for me and another kitty.

April 28 — Angel & Dolly (ADOPTED)

Meet Angel! 
Hi!

I’m named Angel because – well, I nearly was one. My rescuer found me freezing to death after I was used for breeding and dumped. She rushed me to a vet who took me in and nursed me back to health so that I could come to ARNO and get a second chance at life. The vets decided to invest in me because I am such an incredible love bug! I adore all people and light up when I’m around them. I also love dogs, cats, warm blankies, snuggling, and any lap. I’m potty trained too. I’m very special and ready to be your Angel.

My adoption fee is $200.

Meet Polly! (ADOPTED)
LIKES:
I’m a polite, southern lady with a love of all things love. I’ll take scratches, hugs, snuggles, and rubs with a smile and a “thank you”. I’m a mildly chatty gal with a soft-spoken meow and a tongue that doesn’t seem to ever quite go all the way back into my mouth. And when it does, my lower lip makes me look like I’m pouting. But, rest assured, I’ll love any and all love you choose to give me. In fact, I’ll start purring as soon as you look my way.

DISLIKES:
Neoclassical architecture. Idk, I’m more of a gothic architecture kinda gal.

My adoption fee is $85, or $125 for me and another kitty.

April 21 — Xena & Prince (ADOPTED)

Meet Xena! 
Hi my name is Xena and I am looking for my furever family! I’m almost a year old now and I love everyone! I can be a little skiddish at first around men but, if you give me a couple days I warm right up! My favorite things are treats, kisses, and belly rubs. I am great with other dogs, cats, and kids. I love my foster family, but I miss having kids to play with. I play a lot with my foster mom’s dogs and cats and I hope my new furever fursiblings like kisses because I give them constantly! I’m crate trained and housebroken but sometimes I chew things I shouldn’t if they are left where they shouldn’t be. I always chew my toys over my foster family’s things if they are available! I am just looking for a home with lots of love, cuddles, and fun! Are you my furever home??

My adoption fee is $200.

Meet Prince! (ADOPTED)
LIKES:
I love to play with my siblings! We run around, wrestle, and swat at each others’ tails. We also love to lay in a pile of purrs and sandpaper tongues. We do need someone with a little extra patience to help us get acclimated to humans.
