Meet Scotty!

My name is Scotty and I am one sweet little guy - very petite too. I am a young boy that has already experienced too much ... but I am not emotionally scared. I am your typical young dog with typical puppy behaviors and needs :). Someone took scissors and cut my ears off. I am not sure of what they were trying to make me look like but we can only guess. Yep ... it was a homemade botch job but I am no less cute and no less worthy of love. In fact, I am a "lucky dog" to have this opportunity to know the love and kindness of humanity in the home of a "real" pet parent. I am not at the shelter so please make an appointment to see me. They'll get me to our date - I promise!

Olivia Mandala, photographer, thank you for the kindness you showed me in my photo shoot! You made me look as handsome as I am.

Meet Zash!

I’m Zash, and I’m 6 months old and was rescued from an animal control facility. In case you wondered, being a kitten can make you so very tired! Because I played hard this morning, I had to take a long nap. I curled up in a bed high above all the activity. I scarcely moved when another kitty jumped into the bed and curled up beside me, but I assure you, when I awaken from my cat naps I am a bundle of energy! If you’ll take me home, we can take cat naps together. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Meet Disney!

Disney got her name, when one of our employees found her abandoned, alone in a Disney princess pak-n-play toy box. She was so tiny and sick but is healthy, happy and “good to go” today. She is a sweet girl and is a VERY lucky girl too! She has a beautiful fluffy tail, and a "can't stop me!" attitude. She absolutely loves people and plays all the time! However, as her pictures indicate, when she's tired she will lay down anywhere she can! Disney is a sheer delight and will make a perfect addition to any home!

Meet Sebastian!

My name is Sebastian and I am a purebred Cocker. I am a little on the "portly" side and could use to loose a pound or two - LOL! Routine walks will make help with my weight, tire me, and offer me mental stimulation. I love my treats and I love human interaction. I am a good boy and an agreeable soul. I am in the process of getting my vetting so please make an appointment to see me if you are interested in adoption. (My roommate is a senior girl named Apple ... she is a large Labrador Retriever and is in her golden years. Check her out too :) Thank you to photographer, Olivia Mandala, she was so nice to Apple and me!

Meet Chopper!

Hi, my name is Chopper but I'm not sure why they gave me this name (???). After all, my teeth are quite gentle and my bite is soft :). I have a heart murmur that makes me quite tired. I love to be held and I rest a lot. They give me wonderful treats here and I am a shelter favorite; however, this is no home for me! I want to go home and know the love and kindness of my new pet parent. Might you be coming for me soon? I'll pack sweater and be waiting for your arrival ... Thank you Olivia Mandala, photographer, for treating me so kindly. I can tell you like my breed :)!

Meet Yolanda!

Sweet Yolanda is an active girl! She's only about 2 years old, and thinks she's still a kitten! She loves to run, play & hide from people! She won't hide for long, usually you’ll see her little tail sticking out and when she realizes you found her, she comes running towards you in “ornery” mode! If you are looking for energetic and interactive … Yolanda is your girl!

Meet Daiszee!

Hi, I'm Daiszee and I am one fun girl. I was returned to the shelter because I'm not potty trained. Keep in mind ... potty training takes time and a routine schedule. It takes patience and a committed pet parent. I want to please and I want to master this so that I can be the "good girl" I was born to be. I am tiny ... I mean little. I have fun energy and I love playing "rough house" with my friend Bear (see Bear). Really ... I don't have any bad habits but the potty thing. I like everyone and very one likes me. Might you like me too?

Olivia Mandala, my photographer, is so talented. I'm as cute in person as my pictures makes me look!

Meet Ariel!

When she came to us from an animal control facility, she was half-starved and fearful of her new surroundings. Although still thin, Ariel is gaining weight because of her healthy appetite! She is still a little shy when you first pick her up, but after a bit of stoking she decides that being a lap cat is fine, and she cuddles into the crook of your elbow or against your shoulder. She revels in the attention! We think that attention is new to her, & with a little kind & consistent attention she will flourish in a new home. Do you have room in your home and heart to give this sweetheart the life she deserves?

Meet Perfecto!

Perfecto is at your service! At 5 months, Perfecto still has a kittens playfulness, but is now old enough that his delightful adult personality is emerging. Mostly white, he has some amazing black spots and a black tail. Noticing a hat on the floor, he jump down to investigate it, and soon played with its tassels, pushed it across the floor, and finally curled up on it. After a brief nap he jumped onto a chair and curled up on the lap of a potential adopter. He enjoys attention & will do wonderfully in his forever home! Can you give this sweet boy the home and affection he deserves?

Meet Mr. Bandit!

... What can I say ... I am a little guy and I am a dynamo! I am Chihuahua and, quite possibly, Jack Russell. Two amazing and fun breeds produced one quiet and reserved pup. Most little dogs think they are the "enforcers" in the house but I don't quite have that kind of confidence - at least not right now. Though, I am a love bug and I am looking to share my life with the best "pet parents" ever! I want to live a life of love and security and NEVER want to end up in a shelter again. Might you be my future?

Thank you to my photographer, Olivia Mandala, you captured my "cuteness" in these photographs.

Meet Diedre!

Do you like gorgeous black cats with white lockets? What a coincidence … that's me! I'm Diedre & I'm all ready to go home with you. I came to this wonderful place & had a beautiful litter of kittens who have all been adopted. I've been a little lonely & yesterday, I tried to crawl into a women's purse in order to be sure that she'd take me with her! But she found me, & my plan failed. Here I sit, waiting for you to come find me. I promise not to hide in your purse, but I will always be waiting for you when you come home. I just know what a wonderful addition I will be to any family. I'll see you soon! Love, Diedre.

Meet Brittany!

My friends here often say, "Gotta Love A Beagle" so I am hoping someone out there does. I am a very cute beagle albeit pretty tiny! Yep, I'm petite and on the small side. Nobody would ever refer to me as "big boned." I love just about everyone and I am probably the mildest beagle you have ever met. Don't let that scare you off though because I know how to have fun too. They tell me I am darn near perfect ... and I really try hard to be just that. Kids, dogs, strangers ... I love them all! I haven't any bad qualities so if your looking for "darn near" perfection, I'm your beagle! I want to thank my photographer, Olivia Mandala, she does great work!

Meet Latte!

Hey, check out my ears! They are a little on the big side but they work for me ... and they should work for you too. I was rescued from a puppy mill so I run a little short on trust but I'm long on wanting to feel it :). After all, there wasn't a soul I could trust on that farm for the seven years I was there - and those boy dogs were definitely untrustworthy! I am glad to be in retirement and it is now my opportunity to experience a home and a family. A quiet - or even slower paced - home is ideal just because I have already endured sooooo much chaos in my life. People look long and hard to find a "Westie" in a shelter and look ... here I am! Don't delay, come to see me today.

My deepest "thanks" to, volunteer, Olivia Mandala for her time and photography expertise. She really made me look my best in these pictures!

Meet Hadley!

Hadley was rescued from a hoarder's situation and is about 8 years old. Having lived her whole life in such poor conditions, and with minimal human interaction, it takes a little longer for this sweet girl to trust people. Most often you will find Hadley relaxing on her favorite yellow pillow where she feels safe! This girl doesn’t mind quiet time and would do well just being a “beautiful picture” in your home. Because of the high population of cats and the normal chaos associated with a shelter, she cannot get enough of her time alone and desires an environment where she can finally rest comfortably and feel safe.

Meet Charlie!

Charlie has a very special place the heart of our staff. When she came into the shelter she was very scared & didn't get along with the other cats. All of the different people, strange sights & animal sounds was overwhelming for a girl that likes a quiet place to relax. Now, when her favorite staff call out “Where is my little Charlie?" she comes running to greet them! She’ll sleep behind your computer as you work, knock over your pens just to play with them, and quietly "purr" on your lap when she needs attention. She is one of the SWEETEST cats ever and needs to be an "only child". She will do great in a home where she is the center of attention. She gives little kisses on your nose & loves to be wherever the action is. It does take Charlie a few days to learn & trust a new environment, but once she does you will have a FOREVER friend. Do you have a place in your heart & home for this special girl?

Meet Max & Rudy!

This sweet duo is a bonded pair. They were originally rescued from a puppy mill in Southern Ohio. They are about 5 years old and have been together since they were 6 months old. They are fun, playful, smart, & incredibly loving! Max & Rudy are looking for a home where they can not only be together, but where they can have a family treat them like the king and queen they are! The will make such a special addition to any family! With your patience Max & Rudy will learn and become your next best friends - and the pet companions you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car - especially small dogs!!! Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead. Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for the sweet Max & Rudy. (Formerly, Marsha and Marshall)

Meet Olivia!

Miss Olivia was rescued from an animal control facility and is about 2 years old. This young Tabby is such an agreeable little girl, and gets along great with all of her room mates. She's the kind of cat that stands when you enter a room because she anticipates there will be some form of attention; however, she doesn’t demand it. She loves kids and other cats; however, because she enjoys being the center of attention she’ll do great in a quiet home too. We believe this sweet girl was once a very loved cat and longs for her house and the couch she once knew, Do you have up to 18 years (& a comfy couch) to give this great girl? If so, please come visit her today!

Meet Joey!

Meet the precious Joey! Joey is about 9 months old & came to us when his family had a change in circumstances. He is now patiently waiting for his forever family to come and adopt him. He is a tiny boy & literally fits in 2 hands. Because he is such a small dog, new things in life can be a little scary for him; from new sights & sounds to the people (who look like giants to Joey!) who want to pick him up and hold him. It will take Joey a minute to trust you, but once he does you will have a friend for life! He is such a sweet and loving boy looking for love! He may be small in size, but he has a HUGE heart to give to a family looking for lots of love! With your kindness & consistency Joey will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car - especially small dogs!!! Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead.

If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Joey!

Meet Ashton!

Gotta love an orange cat – we do! He is quite possibly one of the sweetest cats in the world. This declawed boy loves new people and thinks everything is exciting! Ashton's favorite thing in the world is attention. After all, he has been with us for a long time and with 250 other feline friends awaiting homes, attention is sparse around the shelter. Ashton will do great in any home and he enjoys people – young and old. Do you have up to 15 years for this beautiful boy? If so, please come visit him today!

Meet Heddy!

Heddy is between 8-10 years of age and is a white purebred Schnauzer! When we first met, she was a little shy and confused by her new surroundings. Heddy was used to the love & comfort of a home when she was abandoned at an animal control facility due to a change in family circumstances. Heddy is now with us awaiting a new family and the comfy life she used to know. She is a loving and kind dog and will do fine in any home. With your kindness, Heddy will learn your expectations and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established.

Meet Miles!

Meet Miles, who observes the world from his cheetah bed in front of a window, but will gladly jump down in order to receive some attention from you. He cuddles onto your lap and almost becomes a contortionist in order to allow you to scratch his head or neck in just the right spots. This golden-eyed black and white boy is FIV positive, but FIV positive cats can lead long, happy lives, giving their owners years of pleasant company. Do you have room in your home and your heart for this sweet kitty? Below are FACTS from Best Friends animal society: FIV Facts from Best Friends Animal Society 1. The Feline Immuno-deficiency Virus is a slow virus that affects a cat's immune system over a period of years. 2. FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be spread to humans or other non-felines. 3. FIV cats most often live long, healthy, and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all. 4. FIV is not easily passed between cats. It cannot be spread casually - like in litter boxes, water and food bowls, or when snuggling and playing. It is rarely spread from a mother to her kittens. 5. The virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds. (Bite wounds of this kind are extremely rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.) 6. A neutered cat, in a home, is extremely unlikely to infect other cats, if properly introduced. 7. Many vets are not educated about FIV since the virus was only discovered 15 years ago. 8. FIV-positive cats should be kept as healthy as possible. Keep them indoors and free from stress, feed them a high-quality diet, keep and treat any secondary problems as soon as they arise.

Meet Chewbacca!

This beautiful girl is about 8-10 years old. This Pekingese mix-breed girl is a loving dog & a true joy to have gotten to know. She loves to be walked, but the second you bend down to pet her she will be in your lap. She has a beautiful coat and will need a home where they like to groom and make sure she stays as gorgeous as she is! Chewbacca has had a hard life but we hope tha she will know the love of a family soon. She may be small in size, but she id huge at heart. With your patience, kindness & consistency Chewbacca will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted.

This beautiful girl enjoys just sitting on your lap or relaxing on a pillow. With maturity on her side, and a very agreeable personality, tiny Sally will acclimate well into any home. With your patience & consistency, Sally will learn your home and lifestyle and become your next best friend and the pet companion you’ve been looking for!

Meet Nikki!

Nikki came to us from an animal control facility. A newcomer in her cat room, she prefers to stay curled up in a soft cat bed, peering out at her neighbors. Her appearance is sweet & unusual: her soft fur is mostly white, but the top of her head contains a large brown spot, and her face has several smaller brown spots that resemble beautiful freckles! When she leaves her comfortable bed, you see that her orange tabby tail looks like it belongs to another cat. She is such a cute girl! Nikkie is learning how to trust people & how to trust her environment. With love & lots of attention, sweet Nikki will flourish in her new forever home! Do you have s soft place in your home for this great girl?

Meet Checkers!

Meet the gorgeous Checkers! Checkers is about 3 years old, and was rescued from an animal control facility prior to imminent euthanasia. It takes Checkers a minute or two to trust people. Give him a little space and a slow approach and he responds rather quickly but with caution. This sweet boy will puurrr loudly with a kind stroke of your hand to his long, soft fur. Checkers needs a place to feel safe & loved and then he will, no doubt, flourish! Do you have an empty spot in your house and home for sweet Checkers? If so, please come visit him today!

Meet Mimsyo!

Mimsy is one precious girl and you’ve got to love a hound ... we do! She arrived at our shelter with an impending birth. After giving birth to her beautiful hound mix-breed pups, Mimsy was able to convalesce while she received all of the appropriate vetting she deserved. At around 40 pounds, this sweet girl is considered to be medium in size and her mature demeanor is an asset. Her energy is a nice balance of “wanting to please” and “I’d really enjoy a little playtime.” It appears that the many things we take for granted are a new experience for her and because she is a “quick study” teaching her is fun! She will do well in an active home but we believe, given the opportunity, she will settle into a quiet home too. She plays well with other dogs so a multiple dog home would work just fine and children (grandchildren J) are her dream! We really don’t have any reservations with this girl! At just a few years old, Mimsy has a lot of living to do. Might she be doing it with you?

Meet Rollo!

This sweet boy is black and white with a very loud purr. Although the other kittens in the room were playing frenetically, Rollo decided that it was time for a nap and the commotion in the room was not going to bother him at all. He is such a delight and at only 7-months old he has a long life ahead of him and a lot of love to give his next family. He loves other cats & more than cats he loves children! Rollo is a relaxed cat and is looking for a warm lap where he can enjoy his days. This adorable boy needs a home where his purr will be appreciated. Is it yours?

PUPPIES!!!!

Meet our Schnauzer puppies! At 9 weeks of age, these boys are so full of life! And they have the typical “puppy needs.” They love the human interaction we offer them and they are already responding to the familiar faces of the staff. This beautiful littler will bond quickly with their forever family. With your patience, and consistent training, these sweet puppies will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established.

Meet Malaiki!

This year-old beauty was rescued from an animal control facility. She has medium-long gray hair and gorgeous green eyes. She gets along well with the other cats in her room and does not exhibit jealousy when another cat is getting attention. But that doesn’t mean that she wouldn’t prefer your undivided attention … because all pets do! She’ll curl up quite happily on your lap and let you stroke her, purring a very gentle purr all the while. Wouldn’t you like to let this beauty warm your lap during the coming winter months and for years thereafter?

Chava!

Celina!

And, if you give her a lap she will lay for as long as you will pet her. Then … she will be off to begin her playing again! She is such a special girl & is looking for a loving home! Do you have a place in your heart & home for Celina? If so, please come visit her today!

Scorch!

Scorch was found on the side on the road with half his body was covered in severe burns. His open wounds were quite painful for him and part of his ear was melted off. Additionally, Scorch was also very malnourished, neglected and, obviously, abused. Scorch's wounds are completely healed and, amazingly, with the exception of his ear, his injuries did not leave any scars on his body or soul. Emotion scars do not appear to exist. He is very outgoing and will want to be where ever the action is … either by your side or on your lap. He is ready to shower your family with love & affection and he gets along great with other cats. He needs a home to keep him safe from ever experiencing pain again. Do you have room in your home & heart for the incredible Scorch? If so, please come visit him today!

Abbey!

Meet Abbey! This beautiful girl was rescued from an animal control facility & is about 10+ years old. The first time I met her, a staff member was outside walking Abbey & said "She is absolutely amazing." Amazing is an understatement for this girl. Abbey is smart, kind, loving & loyal. She is an older dog, but has a young & playful spirit. She will do great in a home where she can get the attention she deserves for the remainder of her days! She loves new people – young and old. And "people watching." Is one of her favorite pastimes. She knows simple commands and is eager to give “paw.” She travels well in a car, is housebroken and is NOT vocal in the shelter. She IS the perfect dog! And she doesn’t belong in a shelter!

Abbey will need kindness & consistency because she shows signs of being unsure what’s expected of her. With your patience Abbey will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established.

She is so photogenic and loves pictures mainly because she loves to be the center of attention! Just walking into her room offered her an invitation to awaken from her cat nap and roll over so I would pet her belly! With so many years to share, she’d a special addition to any forever family! Do you have up to 18 years for sweet Dinah? If so, please come see her today!!

Teo!

Meet Teo! This tiny adult Pomeranian was rescued from a puppy mill. A puppy mill is a mass breeding facility for puppies. Puppy mills focus on the profit they make from the puppies, rather than the humane treatment of the animals. Teo was used for breeding, and came to us scared & unsure. Progressing rapidly, he has learned how to be loved and offers many of the staff a fresh lick of his tiny tongue. He is doing great on a leash, and is ready for his next big adventure in life ... a home with a family!

Teo loves to be outside, but more than anything he has decided he likes to be held and carried. Your warm arms offers this tiny boy sequirity and that’s just where he wants to be!

Loretta!

Meet Loretta! When Loretta arrived at the shelter, she tried to hide from everyone, and everything concerned her. Clearly, she had never been shown kindness and love from humanity. After enduring a birth and then advanced heartworm treatment, we put her in foster care for some rest and relaxation before making her ready for adoption. Over time, Loretta has learned how to trust people and will let select people pet her. She will still take a little time to learn you are a friend, but once she knows you, she will be a pleasure in your home. Loretta is a kind and gentle dog and is ready to know, and give, love.

With your patience, kindness & consistency Loretta will learn and become your next best friend - and a pet companion you've helped to build confidence and trust in. The process takes a while but the reward is immeasurable! We have one stipulation for Loretta … SHE MUST GO TO A HOME WITH ANOTHER DOG(S) AND THEY CAN BE OF ANY SIZE AS LONG AS THEY LIKE HER! You see … Loretta is most at ease in the company of other dogs though her fear of people improves daily. This tiny girl has come a long way and, with your love, will continue to grow.

Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car - especially small dogs!!! Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead. Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Loretta!

Meet Arney!

Sweet Arney is SUCH a doll! He loves everyone he meets, and his favorite activity is "talking" to new people! Upon meeting him, it’s not uncommon for him to exercise his lungs with a “loud and clear” meow! Arney was abandoned with us because he is FIV positive. Despite what many people think, “cats with this condition can live perfectly long, happy, healthy lives"-- BestFriends.org. People have preconceived notions about cats with FIV but the truth is these amazing cats deserve a life and there is no reason they shouldn’t be considered as a long-term companion pet. If you have a quiet house for Arney, please come visit him today! Arney likes his human comanions but does not care to share his space with other feline companions.

Below are FACTS from Best Friends animal society: FIV Facts from Best Friends Animal Society:
· The Feline Immuno-deficiency Virus is a slow virus that affects a cat's immune system over a period of years.

· FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be spread to humans or other non-felines.

· FIV cats most often live long, healthy, and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all.

· FIV is not easily passed between cats. It cannot be spread casually - like in litter boxes, water and food bowls, or when snuggling and playing. It is rarely spread from a mother to her kittens.

· The virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds. (Bite wounds of this kind are extremely rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.)

· A neutered cat, in a home, is extremely unlikely to infect other cats, if properly introduced.

· Many vets are not educated about FIV since the virus was only discovered 15 years ago.

· FIV-positive cats should be kept as healthy as possible. Keep them indoors and free from stress, feed them a high-quality diet, keep and treat any secondary problems as soon as they arise.

Maltese Dogs?

Meet our beautiful Maltese dogs! These incredible dogs are from 3-5 years old and were rescued from a puppy mill. When the first got here they had never had a bath and were filthy. They have been groomed, and now are ready for their forever families! From the Humane Society of the United States of America … puppy mills have been around for decades. They continue to thrive because they prey on unwitting consumers who are smitten by too-cute-for-words puppies in pet store windows and on legitimate-seeming websites.

Puppy mills house dogs in shockingly poor conditions. After their fertility wanes, breeding animals are often killed, abandoned or sold cheaply to another mill to try and get "one more litter" out of the dog. The annual result of all this breeding is millions of puppies, many with behavior and/or health problems.

Once she feels safe with you she turns into the sweetest little girl ... and she is little! She's a lap dog, looking for a lap and her forever family!

Like any dog, Jackie will need kind & consistent training. With your patience she will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car - especially small dogs!!! Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead. Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for our Jackie!

TEDDY!!

This active little boy ended up in a shelter after a Good Samaritan witnessed him being dumped in the park system. After further investigation, we learned that he had been passed thru a total of 4 homes in his young life before he experienced the final insult. He is almost two, has a lot of living to do, and is ready for his forever home. He has boundless energy and makes friends very easily. We prefer a home without small children – because he shows signs of being insecure around them – and no cats because he has a natural prey instinct. With this smaller breed dog, he has the confidence and kindness of a larger more mature dog! He needs a home with plenty of laps and endless hugs. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted.

MEET PRETTY GIRL!

Pretty Girl was found under a deck with two babies and living with two other cats. She is just a tiny little one at less than 6 pounds and was friendly and loving immediately. Pretty Girl likes to be held. She was probably an indoor cat at one time but we think she has been outside on her own for most of her two years. She is very grateful for attention and purrs contentedly when being held or petted. She has been spayed now, has all of her shots and flea control, is microchipped, and is ready to go to a new home. Pretty Girl would be a great addition to any family.

HI, I'M OSCAR MEYR

I was taken in by a little girl who loved me immediately. She purchased a carrier for me and decorated it with the prettiest shades of ink and glitter. My name was plastered all over it and, quite frankly, I had reached “rock star” status. Then, to my demise, her father found out about me and immediately removed me from the house. He & I made the short trek to an animal control facility where we ran into One of A Kind Pet Rescue personnel outside the door. They knew that the man surrendering me was going to request I be euthanized so they made a deal with him and rescued me from the parking lot. And for their efforts I am grateful! I wish there was a way to let my young owner that I am okay. Hopefully, she’ll just know it in her heart. Today, I await the love, and value, I so briefly knew.

MEET REGGIE!

... and what a sweet boy he is! Believe it or not, Reggie (like his friend Giggles) was rescued from euthanasia and is looking for a home. He likes other dogs and is extremely social.

Oscar will do well in any home. Might that home be yours?

MEET SHELBY!

This little girl is 2-3 years old and recently had a litter of 5 kittens. She is tiny and snuggly and ready to be off the streets, out of the shelter and into a loving home. She was pregnant when she was rescued by OOAK from the Summit County shelter. Her cute little whiskers are white and show up against her black fur. She's still shy but will probably flower with some loving attention. She has had all her shots, is spayed, and is healthy. Please consider her as your next family cat … she’ll fit into any home just fine.

MEET MAX!

I am sad because I was surrendered to the shelter by my family because they feared I might bite my 4 year old sister. But what they didn't realize was that I was just fearful of her approach with me. I never wanted, nor intended, to hurt anybody. I am a sweet boy and I love to cuddle. My story is like so many and saddens me every time I relive my past. You see ... I was once a very loved dog and now reside in a shelter. I thankful to end up at OOAKPR because they are a no-kill shelter and they will keep me safe, nourished, and warm until my next family comes for me. I just hope they will arrive soon. After all, I am use to a house and a couch --- not a crate and an environment that is shared by many, many noisy animals! Max will need kind & consistent training because he is a neglected boy and shows signs of being handled harshly. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established.

MEET TOMMY
& LUNA!

Tommy is a beautiful big boy! Creamy orange and white. He and Luna were surrendered together by their owner, who couldn't care for them any longer. He and Luna are friends, but they don't have to be adopted together. However, for a family wanting two animals at once, this would be a good pair. Tommy is more outgoing than Luna. Both get along with other cats and both weigh about 11 pounds. They are house trained, well-behaved, fully vetted and “good to go.”

MEET PETRO!

Petro is a sniffer! He loves to amble along, sniffing the ground, discovering the world. He walks well on the leash, and focuses on taking in information. Jack Russells make fine family dogs, but they are not apartment dogs. Think of them as large dogs trapped in small bodies. They need lots of wide open space to run and can feel cooped up inside a small apartment which will almost always lead to destructive behavior. Fenced in yards are a must, as Jack Russells will take off like a shot after cats, squirrels, rabbits, bikes, or cars. They should always be supervised when outdoors because these little guys love to dig and can easily dig under fences to get out and seek new adventure. They need a steady, loving, and constant handler. If given stimulating, positive reinforcement they can become awesome and delightful companions. These are the dogs that are great ball or Frisbee players! Want to enlarge Petro's small world and show him yours?

MEET SUZY!

This little girl has a giant personality! Now this is a girl who knows what she wants! When approaching Susy, she has a lot to say. She explained that she's new to the adoption center but she's ready for a home of her own. Susy’s ear is clipped which indicates someone once trapped her, had her spayed, and intended to keep her as an outside cat. The ear tip/clip is a universal sign that Susy is spayed and is a common practice used if someone intends to let their cat(s) run freely. This keeps a cat from being anesthetized and taken to surgery. Despite the tip of her ear being clipped, Susy still knows she's one beautiful cat. Might you share your throne with this queen?

MEET BEATRICE!

Sweet Beatrice! She walks very easily on the leash and knows what she is suppose to do once taken outside. Beatrice is a beautiful little Pekingese. Tan and white in color she sports the typical Pekingese smile! She's 2-3 years old, weighs 13 pounds, and gets along well with other dogs. Pekingese are a good choice for apartment or city dwellers, although they do love to go for walks and play outside too. They are well suited to mature people who have a lot of time to devote to them. They should not be left alone for long periods of time because they will tend to bark a lot if left too long. They’ll often show signs of possessive behaviors with their toys and food and so are not recommended for families with small children.

The average life span for Pekingese is 12 years. Do you have a decade to live with and love Beatrice? She deserves to be in a safe environment, with protective loving pet parents who will keep her safe on a leash or in a fenced yard. She will benefit from grooming for her long hair and needs gradually introduced to the world with an assurance that she is in good hands with you.

MEET MOLLY!

What an adorable little calico girl! Molly was rescued from Summit County when she was pregnant. Now having given birth to 6 kittens, all of whom have now been adopted, it's Mom's turn! She is very sweet and it is not uncommon for her to sit on the lap of anybody that would like to hold her. Last seen she was sitting very contentedly on a customer's lap purring up a storm in the adoption center. Might Molly be your next best friend and loyal family member.

MEET PEPPERMINT!

Meet Our Pretty Cat Peppermint… She is a large, beautiful gray – with some white – long hair domestic cat. Her yellow eyes are stunning. Peppermint likes quiet spaces. She is affectionate when she's away from noises and all of the many animals she is forced to reside with. She is shy at first, when in a highly active atmosphere. She warms up quickly when she feels safe and we want her to go to a quiet household. Might that house be yours? Peppermint is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained, micro-chipped and spayed.

MEET MAJESTICA!

Another Puppy Mill Dog! This little Peke-a-Poo was bred in a puppy mill to be sold fast for a profit. Beautiful she is! Luckily, she was rescued from this situation before she was harshly destroyed because her breeding days are over. Majestica is a little anxious when she's outside and away from her crate – after all that is all she has known. She prefers the sounds of other dogs in the room with her because she has been around canine companions her entire life. She’s not familiar with the world awaiting her and she needs your kindness and patience to introduce it to her. Majestica is sweet natured, petite, and adorable. She is shy but gets along well with other dogs. She needs a loving and quiet family to assure her that everything will be okay. She deserves to be cherished.

Majestica is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained, micro-chipped and spayed

MEET KING

King was wandering around without a home and was captured by a Good Samaritan. He's a pretty boy who loves to be petted, but is not too happy about being picked up. Who among us is?? King is a lap cat, however. He climbed up on my lap as I was taking his picture. He is okay with other cats being around and he minds his own business. King is probably 4-6 years old and wants his own family. This guy is pretty laid back. King was neutered by One of A Kind and is going through the inoculation series. He is microchipped, healthy, and read to go. King would love to have a home where he gets love and plenty of petting. Might that home be yours?

MEET FRANKIE!

What a beautiful boy. Finding purpose in ones life is not always a clear journey. Many people have direction at a very early age and for some of us the path is winding. Eventually, and without a predetermined length of time, we all get to define our purpose individually. Imagine being assigned a purpose and having no control of your future. Worse yet, imagine an allocated number of days to perform mandated tasks and when your task is completed you no longer have a purpose. This is the definition of a puppy mill. Moms and Dads are kept in cages, required to perform on demand, and must produce the most desirable size, color, and tempered pups for the purpose of monetary gains for the breeder. If puppies grow too old they are disposed of and if adult dogs are no longer productive in their breeding they too will loose their life. Most of these beautiful pets have never experienced freedom of any kind. Recently, beautiful purebred dogs were rescued from an execution in the back of a barn. You see, they had outlived their usefulness. Ranging in ages, these sweet dogs were now considered poor breeders and were scheduled to be destroyed. We believe these deserving dogs performed and met the demands of mankind and now want them to know the love, security, and compassion that humanity can offer them. Frankie will need kind & consistent training because he is a neglected boy and shows signs of being insecure and immature. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car. Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead. Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Frankie!

MEET ELLEN

Pippin is 4-5 years old, has had all his shots, is neutered, and has been thoroughly vetted by OOAK professionals. He could be a welcome addition to your home.

BABA CHIHUAHUAS!

We are male and female and there are many of us. OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH talk about cute!! We need you now more than ever. This is the age when we begin to understand structure and routine.

We won't go to a home where the owner is not present between 8 - 9 hours each day. The longest we can be left alone is for 4 hours at a time. With appropriate time spent together, training, and a routine, we will grow to be the adult dogs you'd want us to be. Without proper structure and kind training, we run the risk of ending up in a shelter when we're older - and, that's a fate we don't want!!!

These puppies are up to date on their vaccinations, spay and neutered, wormed, have received flea-prevention, bordatella and micro-chipped.

Are you committed to the process? Is your lifestyle appropriate? Do you have 15 years? If so, one of us may be your next BEST friend!!!

MEET SADIE!

Sadie is shy and sweet. Her beautiful silver – grey hair makes her stunning. A little on the smaller side, Sadie keeps to herself. She is quick to interact if invited; however, playing in a box or under a chair is entertaining to her too. She has a kitten face that will melt your heart. She is spayed, current on her vaccines, litter trained and has been vetted. She will do well in any home … with or without other animals or children. Come to see her today … she is worth the trip … we promise!

MEET EVERETT!

So sweet, so calm, and so tiny!!! Everett is a tiny – kind of stocky – little boy and he is waiting for you! He was found on the side of the road by Good Samaritans who could not give him a home, and so he was surrendered to One of A Kind Pet Rescue. Everett keeps to himself in the company of the many, many other cats. He observes what is going on and will play but only when someone has the time to play with him. He'll headbutt a friendly hand to get the petting he wants and deserves. He has a tiny white pendant-like white spot on his throat. This little boy is soooooooooo endearing.

MEET SASSY!

This story breaks my heart. Sassy is a statistic of a broken home. Once 1 of 3 canine siblings, her owner decided to keep the youngest and the oldest because she could only take 2 with her to her new apartment. This left Sassy orphaned and confused --- very, very confused!!! Why should this VERY sedate and pleasant dog have to endure this at 8 years of age? She is sweet and lovable. She hasn't any faults --- oh, I forgot ... just one ... she is a little on the portly side. But we are working on this and she will be "fit and trim" in no time!! After all, she gets to walk at least once a day with a volunteer and if anyone is going to get 2 walks each day, it will be Sassy!

This dog will do well in any household and she just simply wants to go home!!! Can you imagine being use to a house and a couch and now, at 8 years of age, she is living in a shelter --- unfathomable! I can only imagine how heartbroken she is. NOTE: About Beagles and Hounds ... besides being one of the most fun and entertaining breeds, they have an extremely keen sense of smell. Their noses will take them just about anywhere! Under a fence ... thru a hole ... well, you get the picture! Make sure your Beagle has identification tags on. Tags are even better than a microchip when searching for your lost pet. Microchips are a second assistance when trying to locate your lost pet - especially if they have slipped out of their collar. Now through her quarantine period, she is ready to experience love and security in the safe arms of a committed owner and to meet her "forever home and family." Never to be orphaned again!!! Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, small dogs (or any for that matter) do not fare well when encountering a moving car. Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead and Beagles are one breed that this often applies to! Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Sassy!

Note: Sassy has cherry-eye which will be treated before she is adopted.

MEET JANIE

Meet Janie. Janie is a lover! She loves people, she loves other cats and dogs, and she loves her wet food! And, she will meeeeoooow at you until she gets it! Janie is a talker and is willing to stick up for what is rightfully hers -- again, wet food! You get the impression that this girl once struggled to find nourishment. Adopted as a younger cat, Janie was returned due to economic reasons … the family had to move and could no longer provide care. She knows what a house and a couch is so she is eager for a new home. She has had all her shots, is healthy, and is declawed. Are you looking for an interactive fun cat for your family? If so, Janie is your girl.

MEET MARLEY

Look at this disheveled little boy! He likes his orange and white hair just this way … a little long and untamed. Marley is the kind of boy that doesn’t insist on interacting; however, if you approach him he will purr just to be in your presence. He’s not a " fraidy-cat" but will find a corner and keep to himself in the shelter environment. We believe he will come out of his shell a little more once he is in a safe and secure home. He is a young adult and he has a lot of living to do … might he be doing it with one of you?

MEET BIG & BEAUTIFUL ANDERSON!

Anderson was found by a staff member of One of A Kind Pet Rescue. Usually it’s the other way around! Hanging around her home he soon wanted in her house. It didn't matter that she had other cats and dogs and couldn't keep him ... he just wanted safety and security. He wanted in. Without hesitation, he was taken to OOAKPR and surrendered for medical evaluation and future adoption.

Anderson is such a pretty boy: all white, substantial size (almost 14 pounds!), and he is declawed in the front! Someone loved him at some time. We always wonder what happened. Anderson is very social in the adoption center and gets along with the other animals and with people who come to visit. He doesn't really like to be picked up, but be loves to be petted and to rub against people's legs. We hope that Anderson will be adopted quickly into his new " forever home." See Anderson today and make him part of your family.

MEET MAY!

Meet Miss May! This little girl is as soft as can be and is very unaffected by all that going on around her. In fact, she is quite the spectator! She appears completely content as she sits on her chair in the adoption center and observes both people and pets. You get the impression that she is trying to stay out of the way – but be seen. She is not a needy girl but does enjoy human interaction. Doesn't that little black nose just beg to be scratched? Come meet Miss May today. She’s worth the trip … we promise.

MEET PRECIOUS!

Meet Precious ... a puppy mill dog ... Finding " purpose" in one’s life is not always a clear journey. Many people have direction at a very early age and for some of us the path is winding. Eventually, and without a predetermined length of time, we all get to define our purpose individually. Imagine being assigned a " purpose" and having no control of your future. Worse yet, imagine an allocated number of days to perform mandated tasks and when your task is completed you no longer have a purpose. This is the definition of a puppy mill. Moms and Dads are kept in cages, required to perform on demand, and must produce the most desirable size, color, and tempered pups for the purpose of monetary gains for the breeder. If puppies grow too old they are disposed of and if adult dogs are no longer productive in their breeding they too will loose their life. Most of these beautiful pets have never experienced freedom of any kind. Recently, beautiful purebred dogs were rescued from an execution in the back of a barn. You see, they had outlived their usefulness. Ranging in ages from 4 months to 4 years, these sweet dogs were now considered poor breeders and were scheduled to be destroyed. We believe these deserving dogs performed and met the demands of mankind and now want them to know the love, security, and compassion that humanity can offer them. She will need kind & consistent training because she is a neglected girl and shows signs of being insecure. With your patience and consistency, she will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car. Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead. Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Precious!

MEET LOLA!

Lovely Lola! This sweet tabby was found by some nice people who could not give her a home, and so was surrendered to One of A Kind. She is such a fun and loving cat. Likes to roll around to entice petting and other loving! She has a white bib and white feet, just right for dancing! She is super soft. OOAK has fully vetted Lola. She has been vaccinated, de-wormed, micro-chipped and has received flea preventative. She had already been spayed, so she was obviously used to living in a home with people who cared about her. Won't you consider giving her a forever home with your family?

MEET DAWN

She was found lying in a street, very undernourished, with broken teeth, and sick. Brought into OOAKPR, she was surrendered by a Good Samaritan. After weeks in quarantine, Dawn continued to show signs of chronic intestinal distress. Perplexed by her symptoms, OOAKPR vets decided to perform exploratory surgery. Today, with the help of hypo-allergenic food and a daily med, this full-grown 6 pound cat lives a completely normal life. Dawn needs and deserves your special kindness and caring. Do you have room in your heart for this tiny girl? If you want a cat that will always resemble a kitten … Dawn is your girl!

Dawn is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET BILLY!

"Billy the Kid," "Billy Goat," BILLY, BILLY, BILLY! He doesn't care how you say it, Billy gets soooo excited when you call his name. Billy is a young terrier mix.

He loves people, is good around other dogs and is joyful. Billy came to us hesitant and fearful, some people took him to be nippy. In fact, he was nearly euthanized at another shelter because he appeared aggressive.

This is common with dogs who have been through a lot. The last thing he wanted was unfamiliar faces poking and pulling at him. Unfortunately we have to intake the animals and start their vaccinations, bordatella, etc., so it can make for a rough first day in a shelter.

We know after a day or two that the animals will calm down and be more trusting of us when they experience the gentle, loving care we give them.

The next day Billy jumped into my lap and is the happiest little terrier ever! He loves bones and toys. He is crate trained and doing fabulous. He needs a home ... will it be with you?

Now through his quarantine period, he is ready to experience love and security in the safe arms of a committed owner and to meet his "forever home and family." Never to be orphaned again!!!

He will need kind & consistent training. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted.

MEET TINY

Whoever named this boy had a sense of humor! He should be named Tiny Not! This guy is huge and, once placed on the loft of the cat tree, was content to lie there in peace for the longest time. He likes to play, too, and happily batted around every toy presented to him. Tiny is a rescue from Summit County Animal Control. He had already been neutered and now is thoroughly vetted and ready to go to his new home as a showpiece! If you want a big, peaceful, funny feline addition to your home, Tiny is a good bet!

MEET COCO!

One sure way to get Coco out of her nest is catnip! She loves it and quickly emerges from her cozy bed for treats. Coco was surrendered along with another cat to OOAK. She is about 6 years old, and doesn't like children or loud noises. She is accustomed to being an indoor cat, has been declawed in front, and was already spayed. Coco will play but feels safe in her crate until she gets accustomed to a new environment. She keeps to herself and would be good in a one on one situation.

Coco is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed, micro-chipped and declawed!

MEET LIL'MAN!

These dogs are beyond precious!!! Three of them came in together but his sisters, Lucy and Missy, have been adopted while Lil Man still waits. Rescued from an impoverished situation, these dogs were scared to death! Because they had never been socialized, they trembled in fear. Now with us and our staff, these small dogs reward us with tail wags and kisses. They now love attention and want to be with us as much as possible!

Like his sisters, Lil Man is going to be a success and we LOOOOVE sucesss stories! We believe them to be about 1 year in age and have a lot of living to do ... will they be doing it with you? The owner said that they are Pomeranian and Terrier and may have something else in them too(???). The truth is ... they're probably a mix of a lot of things! Does it really matter? Whatever they are, we can tell you that they are beyond sweet, fun, and good-looking! And, more than anything, deserving of an amazing home! Note: They have Pomeranian eyes.

They will do fine in any home - with or without children; however, if children are in the home they will need to be EXTREMELY gentle with these dogs as they continue to develop trust and confidence. They are all still considered somewhat timid but we are hopeful this will change once in a home. Now through their quarantine period, they are ready to experience love and security in the safe arms of a committed owner and to meet their "forever home and family." Never to be orphaned again!!!

They will need kind & consistent training. With your patience and consistency, they will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted.

If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Lucy, Missy or Lil Man! Reminder: Make sure your dog has identification tags on and all information is current. Tags are even better than a microchip when searching for your lost pet. Microchips are a second assistance when trying to locate your lost pet - especially if they have slipped out of their collar. Tags can be purchased for "pennies" at the adoption center and will save you "millions" in upset should your pet become lost!

Lil Man is up-to-date with routine shots, micro-chipped and neutered.

MEET LUCY!

Meet Lucy … these dogs are beyond precious!!! The 3 of them came in together so their bios will read the same. (See: Missy & Lil Man too) Rescued from an impoverished situation, these dogs were scared to death! Because they had never been socialized, they trembled in fear. Now with us and our staff, these small dogs reward us with tail wags and kisses. They now love attention and want to be with us as much as possible!

Lucy is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET CHROME!

Chrome is a true success story. He was brought into OOAKPR by a Good Samaritan and was very ill. It took OOAKPR many weeks to get him healthy again – but he now is! He’s ornery and playful, and ready to go to his forever home. Chrome is so named because he is the color of metal! Now sleek, shiny, and beautiful, he enjoys playing, is inquisitive, and takes pleasure in his recreation time with the other cats too. He grooms himself to stay very clean and now weights in at a healthy 7.15 pounds. Now fully vetted for his previous illness, he has had all his shots, is neutered, is on flea preventative, and has been micro-chipped. Chrome will be your precious metal!

MEET GRISWALD!

I am a Cocker Spaniel and I need you now more than ever. This is the age when I should be able to let down and relax ... feel loved and secure ... and not be residing is a cold, sterile shelter! Thank goodness, OOAKPR brought me in and fully vetted me. Apparently, I needed a little extra vetting but I am now good to go! Because I am a little older, my energy level is perfect. With appropriate time spent together, minimal training, and a routine, I will grow to be the companion to you you'd want me to be. Without proper structure and kind training, deserving dogs run the risk of ending up in a shelter when they're older - and, that's a fate we don't want!!! These guys require your help to become the best dogs ever. And they are the best dogs ever when loved and treated appropriately! Get educated and make the right choices ... Are you a committed pet parent and do you understand the process? Is your lifestyle appropriate? Do you have up to 15 years? If so, Griswald may be your next BEST friend!!!

Griswald is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET CHANEL

… and she is as " designer" as her name! Her beautiful black coat and her stunning yellow eyes make for a gorgeous " one of a kind" girl. This petite adult cat was just happy to sit and observe what was going on around her. As we approached her for her picture, she couldn’t have cared less. This easy going cat will be a great companion to someone and will get along well in any home! We see a promising future for Channel … might it be with you?

Channel is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET FUZZBALL!

Fuzzball is mostly grey with some white markings. Her fur is soft, though not as fine as some cats. She responds well to petting and sweet-talk.

This sweet girl is 1-2 years old and is a loner – she just prefers it that way! She was rescued from animal control and was already spayed -- so someone once loved and attempted to care for her in her young life. She has been thoroughly vetted now and is " good to go" to her next and " forever home!" Fuzzball will, no doubt, blossom under your loving care. Can you help make the difference in this kitty's life?

MEET LIOL'CHICO!

Meet Lil' Chico ... Well, what can we say??? Look at this charmer ...

We believe this sweet boy to be a Manchester Terrier weighing in at about 5 pounds. Rescued from animal control, this tiny dog was picked up off the streets just in time! After all, these "tea cup" dogs do not fair well up against a moving vehicle. He is a love bug and appears to do well with everyone he meets. Current on his vaccines, neuter, and vetting, Lil Chico is ready for his "forever home!"

Do you have up to 15 years to spend with a selfless dog? Are you a committed per parent? Is your lifestyle appropriate? Do you promise to keep Lil Chico contained and secure? If you can answer "yes" to these questions, we can talk about Lil Chico's future.

Lil' Chico is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET BETTY

Meet Betty ... a puppy mill dog ... Finding purpose in one's life is not always a clear journey. Many people have direction at a very early age and for some of us the path is winding. Eventually, and without a predetermined length of time, we all get to define our purpose individually. Imagine being assigned a purpose and having no control of your future. Worse yet, imagine an allocated number of days to perform mandated tasks and when your task is completed you no longer have a purpose. This is the definition of a puppy mill. Moms and Dads are kept in cages, required to perform on demand, and must produce the most desirable size, color, and tempered pups for the purpose of monetary gains for the breeder. If puppies grow too old they are disposed of and if adult dogs are no longer productive in their breeding they too will loose their life. Most of these beautiful pets have never experienced freedom of any kind. Recently, fourteen beautiful purebred dogs were rescued from an execution in the back of a barn. You see, they had outlived their usefulness. Ranging in ages from 4 months to 4 years, these sweet dogs were now considered poor breeders and were scheduled to be destroyed. We believe these deserving dogs performed and met the demands of mankind and now want them to know the love, security, and compassion that humanity can offer them. He will need kind & consistent training because he is a neglected boy and shows signs of being insecure. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established.

Betty is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET SKITTLES

Who knows what dark places Skittles has been? She was once loved. We know that because she was spayed when she came to the shelter.

But then something really bad must have happened ... when she was found, her tail had been broken in several places, she was flea infested, and she was very thin. It's hard to believe that when you see her now because she is so healthy once again. Her tail has been amputated; she has received all her inoculations, and thanks to good care she has gained the weight she needed on her bones.

Skittles is ready now to be part of a loving family once again. She gets along with the other cats in the shelter, but will defend her position on the top shelf of the cat gym! She is sweet and loving and so much deserves happiness at last. Please make her a part of your family. She would like that!

MEET CASANOVA!

Sweet, sweet Casanova … and just the right size! Weighing in at about 7 pounds, this full-grown Min-Pin and Chihuahua mix breed boy surely won’t be taking up much room! He is a true lover and is entertaining to watch. It is not uncommon for little dogs to have big personalities and this little guy is true to the theory.

He is confident and he is fun. He will play and then come over to you to be held. He’s a perfect mix of different personalities and will acclimate quickly into a loving home. This dog should have been named " Smooch" because he loves to do just that … which is somewhat uncommon for tiny dogs.

He is housebroken and crate trained. Because he is so well-adjusted, we believe this boy is use to a house and a couch and was once a very loved dog.

Let’s get him back into a home … might that home be yours?

MEET PEPE

Top Drawer! Or top shelf it would seem. Pepe is always to be found on the top shelf of the cat gym when he and his buddies are out in the main room for exercise. There, he is free to flirt with friends who come in, play with the other cats who may be inclined, and in general "rule the roost!" He loves attention and frequently will "reach out" for it if anyone comes close to his roost and fails to notice his presence. He chirps and talks. And, I'm sure you’ve noticed that he is very photogenic and he loves the camera. Pepe is about 2 years old. He has been thoroughly vetted, is neutered, and micro-chipped.

MEET BUTTERSCORT

This senior cat already had a home. Unfortunately a one year old puppy changed his whole world. Butterscotch is a wonderful 12 year old cat who has at least another 8-10 years of his life. This sweet boy was upset by the new change and didn't want to be chased or used as a toy for some other furry creatures pleasure. We want him to live out his remaining years in a protective and caring home. He is very affectionate and will take great pleasure in sun bathing thru a window and watching you go about your day. Is that so wrong?! Come adopt today!!

MEET ANGELINA!

another puppy mill dog, she's a 6 pound SHY Maltese!

Finding " purpose" in one’s life is not always a clear journey. Many people have direction at a very early age and for some of us the path is winding. Eventually, and without a predetermined length of time, we all get to define our purpose individually.

MEET MOSES THE SHIH TZU!

Moses appears to have only 1 eye in this picture: however, his hair is covering his other eye. He has 2 healthy eyes!

Moses is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET TORI

What Tori wants most is attention! He gets excited when he knows that a friend is going to pet him and play with him. He's very soft and affectionate. He would be so grateful to have a forever home. We often never know how cats wind up where they are found, but Tori was found in a shed. Hungry and homeless. But, for now, he's safe and warm . He has had the medical care to make him a healthy cat, and he is ready to go into the loving arms of his next family. Can you give him a home?

Tori is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained, spayed/neutered and DECLAWED!

MEET REBEKAH

(pronounced Rebecca)

Finding " purpose" in one’s life is not always a clear journey. Many people have direction at a very early age and for some of us the path is winding. Eventually, and without a predetermined length of time, we all get to define our purpose individually.

Imagine being assigned a " purpose" and having no control of your future. Worse yet, imagine an allocated number of days to perform mandated tasks and when your task is completed you no longer have a purpose. This is the definition of a puppy mill.

Most of these beautiful pets have never experienced freedom of any kind.

Recently, fourteen beautiful purebred dogs were rescued from an execution in the back of a barn. You see, they had outlived their usefulness. Ranging in ages from 4 ½ months to 4 years, these sweet dogs were now considered poor breeders and were scheduled to be destroyed. We believe these deserving dogs performed and met the demands of mankind and now want them to know the love, security, and compassion that humanity can offer them.

She will need kind & consistent training because she is a neglected girl and shows signs of being insecure. With your patience and consistency, she will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted.

CATS REBA &
RALPHIE

This male and female pair are so striking you have to stare. Reba is approx. 6mo.-1 yr. and Ralphie is 4-5 mo. old. they were at the pound together. Very scared and helpless looking. Their personally has since come out. They are like peanut butter and jelly, pancakes and syrup, baseball and peanuts, anyways, you get the picture. We can't dare separate these two. They love each other. They are two of the sweetest cats ever. Come see this adorable pair and fall in love yourselves.

Reba & Ralphie are up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET MAX!

I'm Max. You should get to know me as I am one neat guy. I'm a CC cat -- cool and casual. I like to explore . . . check on everything in my surroundings. See the picture of me in the sink? I wasn't there for a bath. (I'm actually a very clean guy.) I just wanted to see if any of the wet food cans were open. You probably have guessed by now that I'm an active fellow. I like other cats and they like me; you will too!

Max is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET JULEP!

This girl has the most interesting markings. She’s a beautiful white cat with calico-looking spots. Julep is interactive, has fun energy, and is ready to play. She’s young and amusing and has a lot of living to do. Her siblings, Jasmine and Julius, are looking for homes to call their own too.

Julep is up-to-date with routine shots and is spayed.

MEET TRIXIE

... Humanity could learn a lesson from watching her ...

Rescued from animal control, with an impending birth, sweet Trixie had 12 puppies in just a few days after her arrival. Not only did she let us help her during the birthing process, but she showed how amazingly compassionate she was to her babies. Separating them by color, she would nurse them in stages. As they grew, she remained loving and tolerant of all the activity around her. When we finally separated her from the babies, she was very sad.

This beautiful girl deserves to know what it is like to be loved and protected - like she taught us with her own babies! Now through her quarantine period, she is ready to experience love and security in the safe arms of a committed owner and to meet her "forever home and family." Never to be orphaned again! Never to give birth again! Now, it's her turn to be the center of one's attention!!!

She will need kind understanding and training because she has not been cared for properly. With your patience and consistency, she will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car. Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead.

Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Trixie!

Trixie is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered.

MEET PRINCESS!

... what a very sweet girl ...

This "canine senior citizen" lived with a senior citizen that, sadly, passed away. This left Princess orphaned. It was bad enough to loose the love and companion of her life but to then end up in a shelter in her "golden days" is unfathomable. This sweet girl hasn't any bad habits and desires a warm bed and a loving owner to allow her to rest her head for the remaining time she has on this earth. Upon assessment, Princess appears healthy and hasn't any known medical issues. If you are a kind and compassionate pet parent looking for a sweet and gentle "senior" to spend time with, then Princess will be your girl!

Princess is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET KRISTY

Could she be any more stunning? We don’t think so! And, she is sweet & social too! This is one beautiful little lady! Kristy has markings unlike any we've ever seen. This sweet girl is looking for a lap to cuddle up in. Might it be yours? Now thru her quarantine period and having received all of her vetting, Kristy is " good to go" into her new home and spend the rest of her days with her " forever family."

Kristy is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET OUR
"SHRINKING VIOLET"

A shy cat can be the most rewarding pet. Each step in your relationship brings new fulfillment as you slowly gain its trust. When you form a bond it is deep and special. One of a Kind Pets has several shy souls including Violet - a beautiful grey cat, longing for her forever home.

We rescued the very pregnant Violet at the pound. She gave birth to 4 kittens in a foster’s bathroom and was a great mom. Violet nursed, bathed and watched over her kittens as they grew strong and playful. When they reached 8 weeks old, she relaxed and slowly approached the foster for affection. Shy cats are like that. They need some time to adjust and to trust.

Although shy, Violet is not unsociable. She never hisses. She does not claw or bite. She loves other pets and can often be found curled up and napping with one of her furry friends. Violet is just wary of strangers. She sometimes hides or huddles in a corner when approached. As a result, this sweet, loving cat is often overlooked or ignored by adopting families.

It’s been two long years since Violet’s kittens found their homes. Violet still waits behind. Isn’t two years long enough to wait?

Meet Lance (black, white, tan) pictured with his sister Leah!

These 2 are siblings and they love each other! These Jack – Russell and Yorkie mix-breed dogs are 5 months old and beyond cute – and ornery! They DO NOT have to go home together – in fact Leah just went to her " forever home." I witnesses Leah licking around Lance's mouth after breakfast the other day. It was beyond cute. Leave it to the female to keep the male clean and tidy for a potential adoption!

Containment is "key" with all dogs until boundary training has been performed, trust is established, and they feel secure in their next home. We recommend a fenced yard or a safe and secure leash for brief tie-out sessions. As you are aware, these small-breed dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving vehicle. Proactive safe guards are crucial to keeping your pet safe and healthy.

If you are a committed pet parent and want to be part of the development of a great dog that now has the opportunity to thrive, come to meet these 2 precious pups. Do you have up to 15 years to commit? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you understand what it takes to be a responsible pet owner? If so, one - or both of these pups may be your next best friend! Lance & Leah are up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered. We thank all of you for your continued support and for caring --- we care deeply too.

Lance is up-to-date with routine shots and is neutered.

MEET CONTESSA

Don't let her camera shyness demeanor fool you! Yes, she can be shy but she likes people too. A stunning beauty, this long-haired calico is quite the attraction. Because of the census in animal control, Contessa was scheduled for a harsh fate. She was rescued from the pound prior to euthanasia. Now, at approximately 3 years old, Contessa’s life will begin and she has a lot of living to do! Might it be with you?

Contessa is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed.

MEET KAYLE!

A casualty of our economics, and surrendered by her owner, this sweet little dog deserves more!!! This girl is a "LOVE" and enjoys the safety and security of your arms. Confused by her surroundings and the loud shelter, Kayle wants to go home - never to be orphaned again!

Kayle is in the 25% of purebred dogs that end up in shelters. Because of her size and her designer breed, we believe Kayle will be in demand. That said, we are not interested in placing Kayle with an adopter unless it is the most appropriate home for her and the owner is a committed pet parent!

Containment is "key" with all dogs until boundary training has been performed, trust is established, and they feel secure in their next home. We recommend a fenced yard or a safe and secure leash for brief tie-out sessions. As you are aware, these small-breed dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving vehicle.

If you are a committed pet parent and want to be part of the development of a great dog that now has the opportunity to thrive, come to meet Kayle. Do you have up to 15 years to commit? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you understand what it takes to be a responsible pet owner? If so, Kayle may be your next best friend! Kayle is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed. We thank all of you for your continued support and for caring --- we care deeply too.

MEET MONA

There is nothing " tense" about this girl. Laid back and just content to be in your presence, Mona is the perfect girl for any cat lover! This laid back young lady enjoys being a lap cat but will do fine if required to be independent. Rescued from the pound prior to euthanasia, Mona is ready for a home of her own and the love and kindness of a new owner. She has 1 stipulation … she wants her new owner to be committed to protecting her for the rest of her life!

Mona is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed.

MEET CHUBS

With a name like Chubbs, you'd think this guy might be on the chunky side ... well, the opposite is true ... he's skinny!!! Someone thought this was a funny name for this little guy so keep in mind ... you can change his name! What a good boy this little dog is! We love him and you will too. He enjoys being held and cuddled and yet he is as ornery as any Jack Russell should be. This full-grown guy (approximately 17 pounds) is ready to go home and experience the love and security of a committed family. Now through his quarantine period, he is ready for his "forever home and family." He will need kind & consistent training because his history is unknown. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. After all, many of these guys have been living on the land and may hit the road to pursue the only home they've known - even if they are not wanted anymore. Furthermore, these small dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car. Do you have 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about Chubb's future.

Chubbs is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET ANNABELLE

My name is Annabelle. Ans though that's kind of an old-fashioned name, I’m not an old fashioned girl! You could call me a traditional cat that’s OK with me! I let out a low, throaty purr when you pet me – which by the way, I like petting very much! Doesn’t everybody? I have a squeaky meow which I use to express my satisfaction with being stroked. My favorite place is next to my people. My photographer had a hard time getting my pictures because I followed him around very closely. I like other cats too so a " multiple cat" home works for me!
I love to play -- especially when I get to chase the laser dot. Would you like to be my play pal?

Annabelle is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed.

MEET BOO

Boo is my name -- but I'm not scary or at all difficult. I like people and other cats and just about everything! I'm a quiet girl and I can entertain myself when you're not available. My white coat is nice and thick, with interesting black markings. My tail is all black with a tiny white spot at the very tip. Oh … and have you noticed my YELLOW eyes? They are BEEEUTIFUL I’m told!

I bet I would fit right into your home. What’s your thought on this plan?

Boo is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and neutered.

MEET HOMER

Meet Homer. This beautiful purebred beagle doesn't deserve this! He has found himself residing in a shelter at approximately 6 years of age. Dog years pass so quickly. It is sad to think that 1/3 to 1/2 of his life may be over and he hasn't the security of a loving and secure home of his own.

For those of us who enjoy the beagle breed (and I do!), he is a sweet, sweet boy! He loves to cuddle and yet he still enjoys some excitement. He loves all people he comes into contact with!!! We don't believe he has any bad habits and we think that he will acclimate quickly into a kind and caring home.

We are unsure as to whether he's been kept outside or not, so house training MAY need to be reestablished. Now through his puppy & adolescent stage, Homer is looking to have an adult relationship with a new owner. Could that be you? Do you have what it will take to give Homer the home he may have never known? Do you know what it takes to be a responsible pet owner? Are you committed to the process? Will rescuing an animal bring you personal fulfillment? If you've answered yes to all of the above ... then come on down to meet Homer!

Homer is up-to-date with routine shots and neutered.

MEET HARRIETT

Harriett was rescued by a good Samaritan but was in very poor condition. The kind person assumed responsibility for Harriett and worked diligently to get her well. After Harriett's condition improved, OOAKPR was contacted and asked to assume responsibility for her care and to pursue an appropriate home.

Though, she had improved health, Harriett still required the standard vetting administered to all rescued animals and was spayed. Today this ADORABLE girl is happy and healthy and awaiting her "for real" forever home. She is housetrained, well mannered, healthy, and a real pleaser!

Are you a committed pet parent? Can you commit to up to 15 years? Is your lifestyle appropriate for such a selfless creature? If you can answer "yes" to these questions, then Harriett may be your girl! Come to see her ... you won't be leaving without her!

Harriett is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET HAYLEE

Some folks think I look like a Maine Coon Cat. I think I look more like a miniature lioness. I'm kind of a laid back girl. I just like to hang out . . . stretch out on the floor . . . and, sometimes, play with other cats. When my cage mate Heidi is out, I like to run and jump and play chase. So, maybe the two of us will be going home together??? You never know … a girls gotta have dreams!

P.S. I think I will be a super companion and If you ever find out what's in that bag, let me know.

Haylee is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET COOKIE

I'm Cookie . . . . and I'm scared. I really do want to be friendly. When you come to the door of my condo, I'll sniff your hand and let you scratch me with your finger. But when you open the door, I often retreat to my balcony. I’m trying to get some confidence so when folks here go real slow, I do let them touch me a little bit. So by all standards, I'm making progress. I have a cute "smooshed" face and nice, thick long hair. I need to be the only cat of a patient owner. If you can give me some time to adjust, I will be a great companion. Trust me … it’s my dream!

MEET LILY!

My name is Lilly. I'm just a young girl but I've already seen "a lot" of life. I was discovered living in a car with my three kittens. I was really too young to be a mom; but, with some help, all my babies survived. It might be best if I'm your only cat. However, I'm rapidly gaining social skills; so, who knows? I think I have lots of potential. I like to wander -- but if you want to pet me -- that's fine too. My caregivers think I'm a very pretty girl.

Lily is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET JUNIOR!

I love this guy! Junior’s energy is wonderful and he is as ornery as they come. It doesn't hurt that he is so good-looking either.

Weighing in at approximately 28 - 30 pounds, Junior is on the small side. He is a casualty from the Heaven Can Wait house and is now - after too many months - available for adoption. Now through his quarantine period, he is ready for his "forever home and family." He will need kind & consistent training because no one has ever worked with him. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. After all, many of these guys have been living on the land and may hit the road to pursue the only home they've known. Even if they are not wanted anymore. Do you have 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about Junior's future.

Junior is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET MIRANDA!

My name is Miwhich means wonderful and admirable. In my case, it also means purr machine. I am a very affectionate cat. When you open my door, I'm all over you with hugs, kisses and a musical purr. I love everybody -- other cats included. My personal photographer took lots of pictures but thinks I'm prettier than any of them. I am a very clean cat and have fur as soft as down. If you come to see me, you won't be able to go home without me.

Miranda is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET SASHA!

Poor Sasha ... such a "love" yet surrendered to animal control - for no fault of her own. It is hard to believe that this tiny girl has had to endure life in a cold shelter and nearly face euthanasia. Now thru her vetting and quarantine period, Sasha is ready to go home. She is a true love bug, an though she gets excited, her favorite place will be with you. And your lap will, no-doubt, offer her great security. We love this little girl and you will too! She appears to love humans of all kinds and other dogs too. Check out her hair --- she is silver in color! Are you a committed pet parent? Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless animal? If you have what it takes, then Sasha may be going home with you. Make an appointment to come down to meet her. She's worth the trip. Note: She is not residing at the adoption center so an appointment is mandatory.

Sasha is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET HOPE!

Hope is my name. I'm hoping to find an owner who knows black is beautiful. Actually dogs have owners and cats have staff -- but we can sort all that out after you take me home. I'm kind of a curious cat. I like to poke around, here and there, but I usually interrupt my meandering to check back in for a few strokes. And, I like to talk while you pet me.

Hope is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET MARSHALL!

Marshall was recovered from a puppy mill where he and the other dogs had out-lived their usefulness! And, surprisingly, these furry guys are very social. None of them knew how to walk on a leash, nor were they housebroken. Now, after over 3 weeks in quarantine and receiving their vetting, all of these dogs understand potty breaks, enjoy walking on a leash, and are ready for their forever home. Let's give these guys a chance and allow them to know the true love of humanity and a secure home! A home that will care for them for the rest of their days, allow them to exercise and stretch their legs - and their minds. If you are a committed pet parent and understand the responsibility of pet ownership, call to make an appointment to meet these guys. Presently, they are not at our adoption center but are residing in another location.

Marshal is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET OUR DOG!

These dogs are soooooooooooo precious and were recovered from a puppy mill where they had out-lived their usefulness! And, surprisingly, these furry guys are very social.

None of them knew how to walk on a leash, nor were they housebroken. Now, after over 3 weeks in quarantine and receiving their vetting, all of these dogs understand potty breaks, enjoy walking on a leash, and are ready for their forever home.

MEET DESTINY!

Hi, my name is Destiny. I'm looking for someone who is looking for me! If you come to the Adoption Center to meet me, I can be a little shy at first. But, once I get to know you, then I'll be your buddy. I'm perfectly content to nap and amuse myself while you're at work; and when you're home, I would love to hear how your day was and spend some time with you. We can watch television or curl up and read a good book. I'm excellent company, but not high maintenance! Please come and meet at One of a Kind Pets!

MEET PENTHER!

Hi my name is Panther and I am one cool customer. I was rescued from an animal control facility. I consider it an important duty to monitor the activities of the house, although I won't participate very often. I like having my own space. You people are fun to watch, but I'm ok with that happening from a distance right now. Once we get to know each other, we can spend some quality time together, I enjoy a little rub behind the ears every once in a while. Head scratching too, when I think the time is right. If you are looking for a "classic cat" who decides when and how often we'll interact, then I'm the man for the job. Please come and see me at One of a Kind Pets.

MEET LONESTAR!

You've heard the 3rd time is the charm ... well, 3 was the charm when it came to Lonestar. You see ... Lonestar was brought into the shelter 3 different times by 3 different people. Each time, he'd been found wandering the streets in a highly congested business district. Apparently, when we told the good samaritan's that we hadn't any space for him they returned him to the streets. We knew that we were meant to save this boy upon the 3rd request! Based on his size, he wouldn't fair well if he had encountered a moving car. He is a good boy and shows signs of being a "once cared for" house pet. He wants to please and travels well in a car. We believe he likes children (or may had been around children at one time) because he lights up when they come into the shelter. That said, he is showing minimal signs of fear because of all that he has endured as of late. He is coming out of this rapidly due to the socialization we are exposing him to - BUT HE NEEDS YOU -- NOW!!! Now through his quarantine period, he is ready for his "forever home and family." He will need kind & consistent training because he will need to know what you expect of him and it doesn't come automatically. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. After all, many of these guys have been living on the land and may hit the road to pursue the only home they've known. Even if they are not wanted anymore. Do you have 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about Lonestar's future.

Lonestar is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET scruffy!

True To Our Mission … With a mission of rescuing animals from imminent danger of euthanasia one might think that our job is predictable and routine. But is it? When unexpected disease is uncovered, our responsibility is extended and we must now do all that we can to make an orphaned pet healthy & whole. What might that entail? Well, let us introduce you to Scruffy …

This tiny girl is one of the lucky dogs rescued from Georgia. With no hair, a ruptured eye, a persistent cough, signs of emaciation, flea infestation, heartworm positive, and extreme weakness, we learned that her health was not 100%, but just how much worse could it get?

In an effort to upgrade her physical condition and prepare her for necessary medical treatment she began antibiotic therapy and her new diet consisted of high-quality nutrition. Within a few weeks, Scruffy was gaining weight and showing signs of improvement. Upon a check-up, Dr. Geldhof diagnosed a significant heart murmur that did not exist just weeks before. Additional testing confirmed Dr. Geldhof’s suspicion. The heartworm disease was rapidly advancing. Now what?

After consulting with Dr. Agnieszka Kent, a veterinary cardiologist at Ohio State Veterinary Hospital, the decision was made to perform a risky surgery which required access to Scruffy’s tiny walnut size heart through her jugular vein. Utilizing a hook technique, fifteen worms were removed from the heart muscle that measured 24 inches in length. Cabled in and around the valves of the heart, Scruffy’s tiny heart was being strangled. Though the goal was to remove all of the heartworms, nearly half of them were located in the pulmonary arteries and were not accessible. If Scruffy survived the recuperation period she would still have to endure heartworm treatment at a later date.

Within a few weeks, and miraculously, Scruffy’s improved health meant we were ready to begin heartworm treatment. Returning to Ohio State, treatment was administered. We were told that the second week after treatment was the most critical period of time for complications - and it proved to be true. Despite the perfect measures taken, Scruffy became critically ill in her second week and was listed in guarded condition. Over the next few days we all held our breath as we received routine updates from Dr. Kent. Then we got the call … " Scruffy is stable and can return to Akron!"

Her best life is ahead of her now and to know the love and security of a home is our wish for her. Our responsibility is not over when pets are rescued, nor is it predictable or routine, but concludes when they are healthy and adopted into their " forever home."

We express our heartfelt gratitude to foster mom, Sherrie Cutlip, for her dedication and compassion. If you are interested in adopting Scruffy please contact the adoption center. An appointment will be necessary. In support of necessary medical interventions, donations can be made to Clancy’s Critical Care Fund.

MEET BRIANNA!

Check out Brianna’s yellow eyes! This sweet adult cat is doing time here at the adoption center and longs for a content feeling in a " forever home." Brianna is interactive; however, calms down nicely. Having a family to greet when they came home from their busy would be a dream come true for her. She’d prefer being an only cat because she has experienced enough confusion for a lifetime while residing at the shelter. Please bring Brianna’s shelter life to an end and let her experience the love of a family and home.

Brianna is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET OUR TINY STAR!

People often wish that their newly adopted kitten would stay small and cuddly forever but we need to be careful of what we wish for. When little Star came in with her brothers and sisters to be spayed and neutered, Dr. Meg Geldhof was concerned.

Already at 12 weeks old, Star still had all of her baby teeth. She was less than a third of the size of her siblings and far less active. How could this tiny kitten be from the same litter?

Dr. Meg had never seen anything like this before. Extensive research and a simple blood test led her to a diagnosis. Our tiny Star suffered from hypothyroidism, commonly known as dwarfism. This condition is extremely rare in kittens and usually fatal. But this was a lucky Star.

Dr. Meg caught this condition early and immediately began a daily thyroid supplement. Star responded slowly, but she gradually showed signs of development. A year later, Star has grown to become a five and a half pound adult and is expected to live a full and normal life span. She is playful, sweet and loves to play with kids, adults, other cats and even dogs. Star also loves to purr.

Star’s mother and siblings found their forever homes many months ago. Star still waits for hers. All she needs is love, commitment - and the help of her daily thyroid supplement (approximate cost of $15.00 per month).

MEET DICE!

Meet Dice! Hi, I'm Dice. Can we make a deal? Here's how I see it---you have a home, and I need a home! Sounds like a match to me. Don't get me wrong, the nice people here at One of a Kind Pet Rescue are great, but I really hope to have a place of my own soon. I like to play with toys, but I can also enjoy an afternoon of sun-bathing. Is there room in your house for me? I don't need a lot of space, but I can fill up a heart awfully fast. Why not come and meet me?

Dicey is up-to-date with routine shots, de-clawed, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET MANDY!

Hello, I'm Mandy! I'm a young cat who enjoys good conversation. When you're petting me, chances are good that I'll just " purr away" like a motor boat. Once we’re living together, I'll probably answer your questions with a chirp because that’s my preferred language. I enjoy chasing toy mice and just about any kind of toy! The truth is I enjoy being the center of attention. I’ll vie for your attention and your companies. It doesn’t matter … I’ll perform for all of you. Take a good look at my picture … I am a petite girl looking for committed " pet parents." Might that be you? Come to meet me!

Mandy is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET ROMEO & JULIET!

Romeo & Juliet (gray Tabby cats) were adopted two years ago by a couple who fell in love and just had to have these two kittens. Recently, their daughter brought home a stray cat. Within short time, the stray became pregnant and had multiple kittens. The family decided to keep the stray, as well as one of her kittens. Now, with four cats in the home (mom, kitten, Romeo, & Juliet), the family has decided that Romeo & Juliet must go! They have decided there are just too many animals now. Unfortunately, they made a decision to give up their feline family members of over 2 years and these precious cats are now residing in a shelter. In this case, seniority didn’t count. This situation could have been avoided had the stray been spayed. This is why all rescued animals are spayed or neutered in an effort to end the cycle of unwanted births and throw-away animals. Did Romeo & Juliet deserve this? We think not and our hope is that they will find their "forever home" together once again. Special Adoption Fee: Both cats can be adopted for $60.00 TOGETHER!

ROMEO & JULIET are up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET CORA!

My name is Cora. I am a Tabby cat (with amazing yellow eyes) and, if you love petite female felines, I’m your girl! I’d enjoy assisting you with whatever it is you have planned for the day. I'll be happy to bat the pen if you're writing something, or even help you at the computer. In fact, I love the keyboard! And if you want to curl up and read a book, I excel at curling up with people. Like all good helpers, I am quiet -- unless you promote " play." Pull out a feather toy and then it is " game on!" Won't you please drop by and meet me at One of a Kind Pets? There are a lot of us to choose from so look hard for me when you enter … I may be taking a nap.

Cora is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET CANDY!

Hi, my name is Candy and I want to spend some time with you. If you are reading the newspaper, I'll help you turn the page. If you are making the bed, I'll be right there between the sheets, helping you smooth everything out. I am very vocal and like to communicate with you. I am about a year old and just the cutest little cat! Come and meet me and we can talk things over. See you soon!

MEET JOLIE!

... and her next home MUST be her last!

Surrendered to the shelter twice - thr u no fault of hers -this little gal is confused. In both situations, the families could not keep her due to economic reasons. She is a pleasant girl and gets along with everyone at the shelter - dogs & cats. This poor girl is use to a house and a couch - not a noisy and hectic shelter - and she wants to go home! Containment is "key" with all rescued dogs until they are secure and understand boundaries - which may take some time. Do you understand the responsibility when owning a pet? Do you have up to 15 years? If you are a committed pet parent and want to be part of the development of a great dog that has been living an unfortunate life but now has the opportunity to thrive, come to meet Jolie. We thank all of you for your continued support and for caring --- we care deeply too.

MEET TINK!

Hi, I'm Tink! I'm here, at One of a Kind Pet Rescue, waiting for my forever home. And I hope that home is a busy, active, fun-filled, engaging, full-speed-ahead, kind of place. I love to play and interact - and then play some more! I can also be pretty talkative. I like other cats, but I don't know very many dogs, so I'm a little unsure of them. My favorite thing is people - I enjoy them the most!! Do you have room for me in your house? Are you looking for entertainment? If so, I am a great act!!! Let's get together -- I will patiently await your visit.

Tink is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

MEET INKY!

Hi, I'm Inky. And, I'm a large adult male cat. I'm a big believer in the saying, "better safe than sorry". I like to check things out before I really get involved. I like people, really, I do. But, it may take me a while to warm up. A lot of people come to One of a Kind Pets and don't even notice me because I prefer to stay in the background and watch the action. But, between you and me, I really want to go home. Once I'm comfortable, my favorite place will be on my own person's lap enjoying a nice head scratch! Come to meet me - I'm worth it - honest!

Inky is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered..

MEET MARIE!

Hello, my name is Marie. And whatever it is that you are doing, I can help! I may be a quiet cat, but that doesn't mean that I'm not on the job. One of my favorite chores is laundry....I love making sure all the clothes are nice and warm when they come out of the dryer! I am also very good at making sure the feather duster is doing its job -- I promise to chase it until we're both satisfied that all the dust is gone. I have a curious nature and can't wait until I can investigate your house. Please come and meet at the One of a Kind Pets adoption center. I am current on my vaccines, spayed, and micro-chipped.

MEET KIA!

Hi my name is Kia and I am about 3 years old. If you observe me at the Adoption Center, I'm kind of quiet. But that's because there's an awful lot of activity! If you spend some time one-on-one with me, you'll discover that I am quite a friendly and outgoing cat. I love to chase a feather - or any toy, and I really enjoy being petted. I just need to be comfortable before I show my sweet side. Once we're friends, I'll be by your side constantly and will be checking out what you're doing. Please come out to meet me? I'm really cute! I'll be here at One of a Kind Pets, waiting.

Kia is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET DOLLY!

Dolly is a Doll! She is a Shitzu between 3 - 4 years of age and was rescued from animal control. She has spent time in a foster home and did very well. She is good with other dogs and has lived with cats; however, she doesn't like to share her food or her bed with another dog (or cat) - she considers those two things to be her personal possessions. She loves adults and children and really doesn't exhibit any bad habits. This little girl deserves the love and security of a "forever home. Might that home be yours? Do you have up to 15 years to commit to an animal that needs you? If so, Dolly may be your next constant companion!

MEET NATASHA!

Hello, I'm Natasha. I'm looking for a home to call my own; do you want to share yours with me? I may be a little quiet at first, but I sure do like people. I think it's great to spend time together playing with a feather, or watching some television. But, I'm not one of those silly cats that curiosity is going to get the best of, no sir, not me. And when you have company over, I'll be sure to keep an eye on them from a distance. What I'm really looking for is a quiet home where you and I can get know each other and become friends. I'll be at One of a Kind Pet Rescue, waiting

Come down to One of a Kind Pet Rescue as quickly as you can - the sooner we meet, the sooner we can get started on our life together!

MEET JULIA!

Are you looking for a cat that's black and white, and silly and fun, and just an all-around good-natured buddy? That's me! I like people (big or small), other cats, and dogs. In fact, I like just about everything. I can stay really busy chasing toys and just about everything else. If you let me play with the ring that was around your milk jug, that will suffice in place of toys. You see ... I am easy to please and low maintenance. I could amuse myself for hours! What are you waiting for? Because I'm here, at One of a Kind Pets, waiting for you!

Julia is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained, and spayed/neutered.

Hello, I'm Lorna and I'm looking for a home. My goal is to fit in with your life. I enjoy spending time with people, and especially like being petted. I'm quite talkative once I get to know you, and will be happy to spend time with you. When you're not around, though, I can pretty easily amuse myself. I believe I'm just the right mix--I'll be there when you want me, but I'm not one of those "needy" types. Why not come to meet me? You won't be disappointed!

Lorna is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET AMELIA!

This sweet and quiet cat enjoys spending time with people, but it is ok with her to be alone for a while too. She appreciates an afternoon peering out the window and soaking up the sun while everyone goes about their day around her. If you choose to engage Amelia, that's fine too --- she goes with the flow. She enjoys playing with cat toys or just keeping each other company in a calm environment. Showing you her contentment, she'll purr loudly when petted. This little cat hasn't any issues and will

MEET TULA!

Pssssst...over here......in the corner.....it's me, Tula. If you come to One of a Kind Pets, that's where you'll find me. There's just an awful lot of activity here....lots of other cats and there's dogs, and then those smelly puppies....don't get me started. I would really enjoy moving into a nice, quiet home. I may be a little shy, but once we get to know each other, I'm sure we'll be good buddies. I really enjoy a good head scratch, and toy mice are quite fun to chase. And, please don't tell anyone, but I love to curl up in a warm lap. I just need time to get to know you. Why not give me a chance?

Tula is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET CHONDRA!

Hi, my name is Chondra and I am FIV+. What does that mean? Well, I have the kitty version of HIV. Don't let that scare you - I can't transmit it to you or to your dog. The vets suggest that I be in a home where I am the only kitty or live with other FIV cats. You see, I got it from another kitty sometime ago. He bit me and that was all that it took. And, I have to tell you, I'm a lover, not a fighter. I currently reside at the clinic with two other kitty friends, Shylo and Sammy, and we never fight. The doc says FIV+ cats live over ten years. So that would be a pretty normal life! For those of you who are not aware, there is a vaccine available for cats that is about 85% effective. If your kitty mixes with others, it is advisable to have the shot administered. I am very content to sit in your arms and purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr; however, I do like to play. I have met lots of dogs and they're alright with me - and I'm alright with them. Please call ahead if you want to meet me; I hang out across the street from our Adoption Center and can be seen by appointment. It's my secret dream that all three of us go home together - imagine that!

MEET SHYLO!

Let me tell you, I have had it rough! As you can tell from my handsome picture, I lost an eye to infection. I am also FIV+. (That means I have the kitty version of HIV.) But, let me tell you, I don't let any of that get me down. I can't pass anything on to you or a dog. I'm a lover - not a fighter, so there is no chance of me passing it to another kitty. And, if I ever get into a fight with another cat, that will be a first! I have two cat "best buddies" -- Sammy and Chondra. FYI: there is a vaccine for FIV that is 85% effective. The doc says I could easily live to a grand old age. I love chasing laser lights, and really like hanging out with people. And, when you're busy or not around, I am very content to gaze out the window and soak up the sun! Please call ahead when you want to meet me -- I hang out across the street from adoption center with my two buddies! (Maybe you're looking for 3 amazing cats?)

MEET SPECKS!

Hi! I'm Specks! You probably can't tell from my picture, but I have little white specks throughout my coat. Guess that's how I got my name! I am looking for a "forever home" that needs someone around to keep an eye on things. I don't need to be the center of attention, but I do enjoy observing everything that's going on around me.

MEET DEIDRA!

Hello, I'm Deidra. I'm here at One of a Kind Pets, waiting for you to come and take me away. I enjoy people and toys. I don't really like a lot of other animals though, and kids can be intimidating. But, you and me? That would be perfect and a match made in heaven. And, I will actively play with you and my toys - it's a good time! It's not necessary to give me all your time, but surely we can share the evenings together, can't we? Come on over and meet me. I'll be here and I'll pack my bags in case we will be leaving together!

MEET ANNIE!

Hi, my name is Annie. I am looking for a nice quiet home. I am what you might call a "classic cat". I don't jump right into relationships ... I need to get to get to know you first. But I promise, your patience will be rewarded with purring and head rubs once we become the best of friends! And, listen, while we're talking, let's get it all out there - I'll probably hide from children visiting the home too. They can be just a little too active for my comfort level. How 'bout just you and me, and a few cat toys? Come and meet me at the adoption center - I'll be waiting.

MEET SMOKEY!

Hi my name is Smoky and I love to interact with people! I'll talk to you, rub up against you, and give you the occasional stroke with the top of my head! I like to share activities, so when you open your mail, I'll check to make sure you didn't forget anything in the envelope. If you're making the bed, I'll jump up and supervise the project to make sure the sheets are on there just right! I'll even check out the grocery bags to make sure you didn't forget to put something away! No thanks necessary - that's just the kind of cat I am. Oh - one more thing, I do need special food. The adoption counselors can tell you all about that when you come to meet me. Now, I will patiently wait, but please get here fast!

MEET OUR SWEET GIRL MOMMY!

Dumped at the pound, pregnant and all, we took her in and helped her during her impending birth - and then later helped all of her babies.

She is the last of a litter of 3 & she needs you now more than ever. This is the age when they begin to understand structure and routine. Puppies don't want to fail and because they depend on you to teach them, you must be present! The longest they can be left alone is for 4 hours at a time -- after all, they are babies!!! With appropriate attention and routine they will grow to become the adult dogs you want them to be. Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If so, we have the best pup ever

Are you comfortable with a puppy? If so, her next home may be with you!

I'm just the right mix of cat....I like being around people, playing with toys (especially little mice, as you can tell from my picture), and being petted. But, I can just as easily spend the afternoon gazing out the window, soaking up the sun. I'll be here when you get home, ready to listen to you talk about your day and ready to share a meal with you. I'll settle in on your lap to watch some television, and purr loudly when you scratch behind my ears. But I'm not one of those "needy" cats, know what I mean?
