**** Update **** TNR will not be scheduled again until January 7th! Thanks to everyone who has brought in their ferals to be spade/neutered. Since we were able to start the program back up in June, we have spayed or neutered 85 cats and kittens! This will make a huge impact on the population of unhoused cats going forward, and these cats will have a better chance at a longer and healthier life. Thank you everyone for helping us help these sweet babies. Merry Christmas and see you in January!

Look at these cuties who will be available for adoption this week! The "W" group, all 6 of them, are off to the vet for surgery this week and are ready to go to their forever homes. They are all very playful, loving, good with people and other kittens but haven't been around dogs so they will likely need some adjustment time. With that time however, we're sure they will do great! If you're interested in our W group, get your application in! The application is available online or in person at CCHS! We will also have applications available in person at Tractor Supply on Saturday from 12-3.

If you'd like to be a Secret Santa for the W group adoption, we would love to send them home with everything they could possibly want! Litter box, dishes, scratchers, treats and toys.

Meet Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Comet. These boys are all ready for foster after being shoved in a crate and thrown in a snowbank, just half a mile from our facility. These kittens are all around 8 months old, friendly as can be and just looking for all attention you're willing to give. The love these babies show staff daily when their kennels are being cleaned is amazing. If you're interested in any of these boys, stop in and meet them, fill out an application or check out the application online!

❄️☃️Luna
Luna would love nothing more for Christmas than a place to call home and new family of her own. Luna is a 5 year old Lab mix. Luna is partially blind due to an infection that settled in, wasn't treated quick enough and slowly took her sight. Trust us when we say, it does NOT slow her down. Luna is the happiest girl in this building. She is overly excited to see everyone and she loves you just as hard. Luna wiggles her whole body in excitement when she sees you near. When Animal Control brought luna to CCHS, it was because the family that adopted her through a rescue were truly not ready or educated on a rescue dog. Luna is food and treat motivated, which led to her grabbing food out of hands. She didnt know better, she was raised in a crate and wasn't always fed. Luna does know some manners, she will sit patiently and wait for her food and as long as you correct her behavior she accepts it. Luna has been around other dogs and seems to get a long with most of them, she will require a proper meet and greet with any other dogs in the home. We are not sure about cats. Any children in the home, due to her nature, should be a little on the older side. Toddler size may be too small as Luna gets excited and would feel bad knocking someone over on accident. Luna is such a beautiful, amazing girl who has had such a rough start to life and deserves the absolute best life has to offer. Luna truly deserves a hero to take her home, settle her in, love on her, make her comfortable and show her what life is really like. If you think Luna would be a good fit, you can call or message us ask away! You can also fill out an adoption application either online or in person.

If you'd like to be Lunas Secret Santa and donate to her care package to go home, she loves Kongs, Peanut Butter, Tennis Balls or any toy to play fetch ❤️

🥹❄️Bruno
This sweet loving old man came in months ago with Animal Control after being picked up as a stray. We're not sure why his owners wouldn't come back for him because even at am estimated 8 years old, Bruno has such a zest for life. This boy has the energy of a puppy, drive to please and a personality that no one can believe. He is goofy, bouncy, energetic, playful and loving. We have noticed some things in his lengthy stay here at CCHS, he prefers to be your best friend and only friend. Bruno doesn't appreciate the company of other animals and wants to be the center of your whole world. Bruno is a big boy and doesnt understand all of his strength or size so make sure you're ready for your walks! Bruno settles into nap time very quickly and snores the day away. He enjoys the simple things in life and Deputy Collins found his absolute love of pup cups! As much time as Bruno has spent here at CCHS, we'd love nothing more than him to spend his best Christmas ever with his new best friends. If you're interested in Bruno, simple copies of our adoption application can be found in person at CCHS or online.

If you'd like to be a secret Santa for Bruno, he enjoys treats, toys and could truly use a slow feeder for his new family!

🎄🐾☃️Marley
Poor Marley is still here at CCHS. After being adopted as a puppy and being returned 3 years later, Marley hasn't had too much interest and we're truly not sure why! Marley is a hound mix, about 65 pounds and almost 4 years old (She's a February Birthday!) with so much life left to live, she just wants to experience better than she ever has. Marley is sweet, affectionate, loyal, loving, mannered and truly just wants to be around her people. Upon being returned, staff were told that Marley was the worst dog they had ever had. Marley never deserved that label and has proven it time and time again. Marley came in overweight, unhealthy and showing some severe anxiety. She has lost weight, shown how much she loves adventures and besides just wanting to see people, we haven't seen any signs of anxiety. Marley loves adventure! She is always up for the next walk with anyone willing to take her and she has done our trail hike with our dog walkers numerous times. Marley is truly the sweetest girl who has been around all sorts of people from infants and up, and never had issues. She has encountered quite a few dogs and doesn't mind them but like always requires a proper meet and greet. She is quite intrigued by cats too. She has shown success in certain areas since being returned and now it is her turn for a true success story in her new forever home. If you're interested in Marley, check out a paper copy of our adoption application in person at CCHS or fill it out online.

If you'd like to be Marleys secret Santa this Christmas, she loves to play with toys, treats and loves her blankets.

❤️🐾Buddy
Buddy is a medium size boy who arrived with his mom and sister so we know he has done well with dogs in his past. The girls have since found their forever homes and it is now Buddy's turn. Buddy is going on 8 years old but you would never guess from the energy, s***k and love for life this amazing boy has. Buddy has what we call a "deactivation", where you touch a spot and he falls over expecting nothing more than belly scratches and attention. Buddy has gone on our trail hikes with our dog walkers numerous times and loves it. He is always ready and willing for a new adventure. Buddy was adopted and returned for not doing well with a cat in the home but he doesn't seem to mind our cats here at CCHS so with the right home, correction and adjustment he may do just fine. Buddy seems to love everyone and hasn't shown, at any point, that there is a dog he doesn't like. That doesnt change the fact a proper meet and greet will be required before we send Buddy home. If you're interested in Buddy, adoption applications can be found on paper at CCHS or online.

If you're interested in being Buddy's secret Santa, sending him things to go home with, Buddy loves his soft blankets, treats, squeaker toys and tennis balls.

🐾😍 Busta
This big, beautiful and stand out boy Busta is still here! Busta was a "stray", but we know the real truth. Busta is a sweet boy who needs a bit more work on his manners but he is already so expectant of our dog walkers when he sees them. Busta is treat motivated and will do almost anything you ask for the possibility of those goodies. Busta is a goofy boy and the way he wiggles and worms his way around trying to get comfortable for nap time is one of the most entertaining things to watch. Due to the unexpected arrival and his "finders" not having any information, we're not sure his age, if he has been around kids, cats or dogs. He hasn't seemed to react to the four legged friends and due to his sweet nature he would likely do well with kids too. Busta is a big boy so be prepared for the b***y wiggles into your legs when he gets excited. We've estimated him around 5 years old. Busta would love to meet you, your family, you house and likely the best spot on your couch. If you're interested in Busta, adoption applications can be found with our adoption counselor at CCHS or online.

If you'd like to gift Busta some secret Santa gifts for his welcome home package, he loves toys, treats, soft blankets and chewers.
