Niko is a four-year-old Husky Shepherd mix looking for a loving home to call his own. This big guy loves to play in his water dish like a big polar bear and is good with kids and other dogs. He is not good with cats. His caretakers said he loves going for walks and adventures with his humans and would need a secure yard with tall fences so he doesn’t go on adventures on his own. Niko is neutered and ready to be adopted. His intake number is 458803. Reference picture: Niko.

June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and Cinderella is hoping to find a “fur”ever home. Her caretakers said it’s easy to fall in love with her emerald eyes and sweet disposition. Cinderella is spayed and ready for adoption. Her intake number is 469751. Reference picture: Cinderella.
