Emitt is only 8 months old. Super sweet and oh so playful. But Emitt's most favorite thing to do is to roll around and offer his belly for a nice belly rub. Wow can that little guy purr.  They don't come sweeter than Emitt. Come to the shelter and meet him in person.

Tiny Tim certainly has waited a long time to find a home of his own. He does not have instant curb appeal if you only meet him by visiting his kennel. As soon as a volunteer takes Tim out of his kennel he relaxes and becomes a very playful pup.  It can take slightly longer for him to warm up to some men which makes us wonder if before he was abandoned he might  have been mistreated.  This little guy will become so sweet and so bonded just as soon as he realizes you want to be his friend. Volunteers enjoy this little character very much.  Come meet this fellow by asking a volunteer to take him out and introduce him to you.
