I was saying to myself just this morning, "Carl," I said, "Carl, you know what you need? You need a person all your own." So I sat down to write this post for the nice Prairie Paws people, because apparently that's the kind of thing they do - find nice people for extremely intelligent and lovable, slightly senior kitties who are...I shudder to type this...LAPLESS. That's right: I have no lap to call my own. Could you be persuaded to volunteer yours? I'm one of the coolest cats you'll ever meet! I am also super friendly, I've never met a stranger, and will say hello with my soft little meow when you walk past as long as you come give me a good scratch! I would make the purrrrfect addition to your family.

Hi! I'm Canela but my friends like to call me Sevan, I am a cattle dog mix with an estimated DOB of 11/30/2019! So I am kind of shy at first but when I get comfortable I get very playful and loving. I found out apartment living is not for me...I need lot's of space! I am so sweet and want to give someone all my love. My hobbies include, playing with my dog friends, playing fetch, zoomies, sleeping, and snuggling! I am great with other dogs and like to show off my big personality! My adoption fee is $99.00 which includes a medical exam, sterilization surgery, age appropriate vaccinations, dewormer, a heartworm test, and a microchip. So, what do you say? Wanna be a family?

A little over two weeks left to donate for our birthday!

In honor of our 11th birthday we're asking each and every one of you to donate to our birthday match campaign. Every dollar raised between now and the end of the month will be equally matched by the late Charles & Sue Gillette and our birthday sponsors up to $9,000. This campaign ensures all of the homeless pets in our community continue to receive the best care possible while waiting for their fur-ever homes. As always, thank you for the continued support and well wishes on our birthday.
