Meet Barkley: Barkley is an 8-month-old, medium-sized lab mix who’s been in the shelter for 23 weeks. He’s around 40 lbs., heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and he’s already been microchipped and neutered. Best of all, Barkley is energetic and affectionate, and so will make someone the perfect pet!

Meet Pluto: Pluto is a female domestic short-haired cat who is about 11 months old. She’s only been in the shelter a little over a week, but we already love her! While she likes to hang out in her cat tent, she’s also curious, friendly, and talkative. Pluto is also up to date on vaccines and preventatives and will be spayed and microchipped before going home.
