COURTESY POST!

Teeter is ready to go to a pet home. She is an amazing gal who is super personable and sweet. She loves humans of all ages, walks to heel perfectly on or off leash, knows how to use a doggie door and will need work on house training, which should be easy as she is solidly indoor/outdoor kennel trained. Her only fault, is she is the Queen and will not tolerate another female corgi or female of another breed of her own size or smaller in her territory. She is perfectly happy with bigger female dogs, any type of male dog and other species of animals (cats, chickens, sheep, horses). She is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. She is on the smaller side of Corgis at 18lbs, but she makes up for it with her exceptional sense of self worth and smarts...I sense she will do very well in a home as an only dog where she could be honored and loved every minute because she will return the favor ten-fold. She is 3yrs old and registered with the AKC.

COURTESY POSTING!

First two photos are of the gray cat that is very friendly, will purr a lot if you have a treat or something we'll stand on her hind legs for the treat purrs a lot meows. the other one is black I'm not sure if it's a boy or girl, but it will stand at the door and purr and everything will come into the home they are looking for homes all I know is that they are very friendly they are not bothered by dogs as I believe because I own a a dog and they're not bothered by her when they come into my home.

Would really love to find these kitties a home together if possible!

Meet Baby, our one-eyed wonder with a heart full of love!

This sweet one-year-old girl has been through a lot — she lost an eye, had dental surgery, and lives with feline leukemia — but none of it has dimmed her spirit. Baby is as soft and snuggly as they come, and her affectionate personality can brighten even the gloomiest day.

Because of her diagnosis, Baby will need a little extra care and vet attention, and she’d do best as an only cat or with other leukemia-positive kitties.

If you’ve got room in your heart and home for a truly special soul, Baby is waiting to meet you at Roice-Hurst Humane Society. 💕
