Metro Area Animal

Below is more information on our adoptable animals. You can also view these animals and more on petfinder.com. For those of you who wish to help, but can't adopt a pet right now, you can now send some support our way by using the Petco e-gift certificate program. Petfinder and Metro AAAA visitors can go to http://petfinder.com/awo/e-gift.cgi, choose our organization and send us a gift certificate via e-mail. We can use the gift certificate to purchase food, supplies, or toys for our adoptable animals at Petco. Thanks for your help!

If you find a dog or cat you'd like to adopt, you can fill out an online dog application or an online cat application. Before any of our dogs go out, they are spayed or neutered. We do not adopt on a first come-first serve basis. Sometimes we receive several applications for a particular animal. In those cases, we try our best to choose the best home for that animal and it does take time to go through the process. We reserve the right to deny any adoption at our discretion. We only take cash or check for the adoption fee.

Please plan to introduce your new addition to all members of your family (furry or otherwise) prior to adoption.

Willow is a 1 1/2 yr old female Shepherd/Husky mix. Willow is good with other dogs and cats. She does fine with children also but does jump up so recommend older children. Willow loves to play but also loves her cuddle time. Willow is pretty well behaved outside of the crate but will counter surf on occasion. As many Huskys are Willow is an escape artist and will climb a chain link fence to visit anyone out front so a 6 foot privacy fence is a requirement.  She does need some work on manners so obedience training is required.

Lenny is 9 months old Collie/shephard mix rescued from a hoarder with 50 other dogs. Good with other dogs and ok with cats once they give him a swipe or two. Best with children 10 or older since he likes to try and herd, which could be mistaken for nipping. He is a little shy, but we r working on that.

Charlie is a 2 yr old male Australian Shepherd mix. Charlie's favorite place is wherever you are.  If you're on the couch, he's either on your lap or lying on your feet.  If you're in the kitchen cooking dinner, he's standing or lying right next to you.  He's playful and affectionate and loves to give nibbly kisses on your chin.  Charlie should be crated when you're not home.  Because of the situation he came from, he doesn't understand yet that shoes, pillows and sofas are not chew toys.  Charlie's new home must have a six foot privacy fence [no cyclone].  Charlie loves to be with people so much that if he hears someone outside the yard, he will jump anything shorter than six feet.  Charlie loves children but is still learning not to jump on people.  Charlie gets along well with his foster mother's dogs and is respectful of the cat.

Kellie is an awesome 1 yr old little girl. She is amazingly smart, and always eager to learn new things. At home (I am sure at adoption events she'll be excited and distracted) she is good on a leash and mostly housebroken, and eager to please. She has been great with all 4 of our dogs (she tries to play with bear and Tasha, and she takes the hint immediately when they tell her "no"), and has not reacted to our cats with anything but curiosity. When they smack her, she backs down. I would love to see her in a multi-dog household, but she'd be fine as the spoiled princess with dog-park privileges, too. She will need (and would LOVE, and would likely take top honors in) a training class, and a fenced yard would be to her benefit since she loves to run and be goofy.

MaybelineDOB 4/26/09My name is Maybeline (and yes, I've heard all the cosmetic jokes, so I usually just go by May)She gets along great with other cats. She is currently living with a young male cat and a senior male cat. She very sweet but is quite shy and we are still working on getting her to let us hold her. She will jump up on the bed and chill but jumps down if you get up. She loves to play. She will bat around a toy, chase laser lights and play on her kitty city for hours. When she’s not playing she likes to hang out in her little cloth house or on her hammock. She would be happiest in a quiet home with someone who could devote the time to overcome her shynessI have had all appropriate vet work done.

TobyDOB 6/1/04Toby is a wonderful boy! He was front paw declawed by his previous owners. We picked up Toby from a high kill shelter and we just could not let this sweet boy be euthanized for no reason. Toby is a very sweet boy and he does get along with other cats if properly introduced. We do know that he does not get along with dogs because he is afraid of them. Toby likes to be petted and loves to have your attention.
