We have two charming red pets looking for their forever homes. Both will be great companions!

Elliott

Anyone who has ever had an orange or red cat knows how wonderful they are and that they have lots of personality, and Elliott is no exception. This two year old boy came to us as a stray, having been found out in the woods. He looked like a kitty who had been lost for a while, and was unneutered. A quick trip to the vets fixed that issue, and he has blossomed at the shelter.

Elliot is friendly, playful, and affectionate. He didn’t like the confines of a cage, but once he was vetted, he graduated to the free range “Playroom” where he is in the company of several rambunctious teenaged cats, and he is doing fine.

Orange cats are about 75% male, and tend to have certain characteristics in common. They are “Dad Cat” like with young, playful kittens, and tend to be more tolerant of kitten behavior than most adult cats. They can be quite dog-like in their loyalty to their owners, and enjoy accompanying the man of the house on “projects” around the garage or yard.

Jaxson

Our canine redhead is “Jaxson,” a delightful six year old Australian Shepherd with a beautiful burnished auburn coat. His owners surrendered him to us because they have a young family and didn’t have enough time for him. The young kids in the household made him nervous, and the parents were astute enough to know that this wonderful dog needed a better home.

Jaxson has quickly become a staff favorite, particularly with our dog walking team. Our walkers say he is the “best behaved dog on a leash” at the shelter, and is a delight to walk. His previous owners say that his favorite activities are fetching, running, and walking. His great leash manners mean he might be even a good fit for an older, active person who enjoys walking but doesn’t want a dog who lunges or pulls on a leash.

The ideal home for this wonderful medium-sized dog would be a home without small children and with a fenced yard. Jaxson would be the type of dog who always wants to be at his owner’s side, getting and receiving love and attention.

Hope to see you Sunday!

As Pets of the Week, the adoption fees for this duo of delightful redheads has been halved. With this reduction in fees, Jaxson could go to his new loving home for just $62.50, and Elliott could be a wonderful new kitty companion for just $25!
