Do you recognize this kitten?

"Hanzely" ran out of a car engine at the Lubrication Station in Rice Lake yesterday morning when someone came in for an oil change. She is probably closer to 8 weeks old, but we have her at 6 weeks because she is very underweight. She is friendly but very scared.

If you know this little baby or have any information, please reach out to (715) 537-9063 or [email protected].

Proof of ownership is required to reclaim.

Do you recognize this cat?

"Buddy" showed up on 7/5/25 at the Mayo Clinic in Barron, Wisconsin. The lovely employees there cared for him before bringing him in today. He is very friendly, likely around 2 years old, and not neutered. He has hair rubbed off where a collar has likely been on, and he is litter trained.

If you know this sweet boy or have any information, please reach out to (715) 537-9063 or [email protected].

Proof of ownership and a rabies certificate or voucher are required to reclaim.

Small in size but mighty in personality, Pixie is a confident, chatty little lady who’s always got something to say (especially when dinner is running late). She’s friendly, outgoing, and loves attention—whether it’s chin scratches, lap time, or just following you from room to room like your furry shadow.

She’s also a social butterfly when it comes to other cats and would likely adjust well to respectful dogs and kids with slow, thoughtful introductions.

✅ Friendly and vocal
✅ Good with other cats
✅ Likely to do well with respectful kids and dogs
✅ Litter trained and ready to roll

Pixie is the perfect combo of sass and snuggles—come meet this magical little meow machine! ✨

🐾How is Ashley still here after 24 days?🖤

Looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts independent diva and big softie? Ashley, a stunning, almost 6-year-old Husky, might just be your perfect match. She’s got the heart of a cuddler, the energy of a Husky, and the stubbornness of… well, also a Husky.

Ashley was dearly loved but is now searching for a new home where she can thrive with someone younger and more active who appreciates her unique mix of affection and attitude.

🌟 Why You’ll Love Ashley:
✔️ Loves kids of all ages – she’s been the gentle giant in a house with grandkids
✔️ Dog- and cat-friendly – has done great with similarly sized dogs and even loved her feline friends (no small dogs though)
✔️ Baby lover – puppies, kittens, human babies... Ashley’s all in
✔️ House-trained and kennel-trained – prefers her crate at night, but will gladly share your room
✔️ Great traveler – loves car rides and road trips
✔️ Affectionate & sweet – once she’s done being stubborn, it’s snuggle time!
✔️ She doesn't pull on the leash; she just walks faster than a normal person. She does great with a light jog or faster gait.
✅ Stubborn, in the most lovable way

🐾 A Few Ashley-isms:
❌ Doesn’t love grooming or vet visits (we recommend treats... and patience)
❌ No small animals- high prey drive with rodents
⚠️ Needs grain-free food due to allergies

Ashley is looking for a home where she can stretch her legs, get her zoomies out, and then nap like the majestic creature she is. If you’ve got the time, love, and humor for a wonderfully stubborn sweetheart, Ashley is waiting to win you over—on her terms, of course.

📩 Apply today and let Ashley pull your heartstrings (and maybe your arm—until those leash manners kick in)!

🐾 Meet Moose – The Loud, Loyal, Loveable Goofball 🖤

Looking for a dog with a big heart, an even bigger bark, and a passion for life? Meet Moose, a 3-year-old terrier mix who’s part snugglebug, part nosy neighbor, and 100% good boy. He’s fully house-trained, crate-savvy, and knows all the classics: sit, stay, fetch, and “NO” (although that one might require a second reminder).

Moose had to say goodbye to his family due to a baby with allergies and limited space—but he came with a glowing report card. He’s lived happily with kids and dogs, though he doesn’t always remember his size when playing with smaller pups. (Think: Labrador energy in a terrier body.)

🐶 Moose Highlights:
✔️ House- and kennel-trained
✔️ Loves kids – especially chasing and playing with middle/high schoolers
✔️ Good with other dogs and has been around cats with no problem
✔️ Rides great in the car and adores road trips
✔️ Grooming pro (except for anything near his face—he says, “Go slow, please!”)
✔️ Very affectionate—loves cuddling under blankets
✔️ Walks on leash and harness though he does pull a bit

⚠️ A Few Quirks (He’s Worth It):
🔊 Very loud bark – he's not aggressive, just passionate about neighborhood watch
🏃‍♂️ Runner – loves to chase anything that moves (including bugs, leaves, and the wind)
🙅‍♂️ Not into being picked up – personal space, please!

Moose is the kind of dog who thrives in a home with a fenced yard, room to zoom, and a human or two to dote on him (preferably with snacks). He’s curious, goofy, loyal, and just waiting for a new couch—and heart—to call his own.
