The cats of room: OC4!!

Sprout was a recent return. He would get easily overstimulated when all the other cats in the home wanted human attention at the same time as him. He is kind of an anxious cat. He LOVES people. Like LOVES LOVES LOVES them!! Let’s get Sprout back in a home ASAP!

It breaks my heart to see my favorite dog start showing signs of kennel stress 😭

Poppy is starting to act out due to being kenneled for 6 months now. She transferred in from Jefferson County Animal Control in April.

Poppy is AMAZING with other dogs. When they’re smaller than her, she will let them take lead and sit gently beside them. (She was so good with Squid the shelter chihuahua).

Poppy has NEVER met a stranger. Human or animal she loves them all.

She is starting to become extremely barky and jumpy in her kennel. She is regressing on her leash walking. And she is becoming more mouthy. (Not bitey!!!!)

It is hard to keep weight on her as she paces the kennel nonstop.

Please believe me when I say this girl is a DREAM. She is hilarious. She is vibrant. She is deserving. Let’s not lose the Poppy we know and love to kennel stress!!
