Paddington has never been shown the finer points of house training, but is willing to learn. Until he came to the shelter, the beagle had never had a toy and has no idea how to play with them. His body language shows he might be protective of his food, but our staff has plenty of information for new owners on how to work through that tendency.

Morabelle is 2-year-old spayed female short-haired brown tiger/white cat who came to the shelter after she was confiscated from a home that did not treat her well. She brought along three kittens with her, and they have since been adopted. She tested out quite well here, in terms of potential confidence in an ideal situation. She loved being patted, and preferred it to playtime. She wasn`t sure that she could trust enough to come when called (but she will!) and she preferred to keep her feet on the ground.
