Leo – Leo is a sweet dog boy who has had a hard journey. He is very eager to explore, so be prepared for him to walk you, not the other way around! He has a bad flea allergy, so his human would need to make sure he gets regular treatments to avoid skin issues. He will love living in a home with no children or other animals, spending time with you and enjoying peace and quiet at long last! Make an appointment to meet this special guy today!

Esme – Esme is a little lady who loves to lounge and let you approach her for affection. She’ll give you a discerning sniff and decide if she’s ready, but when she is, she purrs and soaks up all the love. She loves to be up high and watch the activity below. Once she transitions into her forever home, she’ll be so comfortable to explore, she may start seeking you out herself! Come visit Esme and the other cats here Monday through Saturday, noon to 4 p.m.
