"Queenie" is a very lovely 8-1/2 years old spayed female dachshund. She was turned in because the husband died and the wife couldn’t take care of him any longer.

"Katie" is a black and white terrier mix who we think is about 2 years old. She came in as a very dirty and very skinny stray. Luckily she likes baths and also likes to eat so now she's pretty and clean and getting to her ideal weight very quickly. She is very sweet and mellow and walks great on a leash. She solicits attention and affection from humans but also gets along great with other dogs. Katie would love a forever home with lots of love and a big fluffy bed.
"Albert" is a blue and white terrier mix and we think he is about 4 years old. Albert was rescued by a policeman who found him chained to a lamppost. He had on an extremely heavy chain with several padlocks. He was emaciated, had an eye infection and a tumor. The good news is that Albert doesn't hold a grudge. He loves everyone he meets including other dogs. Albert is doing well at the shelter - he had his tumor removed, he was neutered and he's gaining weight. Albert is mellow and likes to explore outside on his walks. He loves attention and leans into you for petting. He would really love a backyard to explore and a big couch to sleep on.

She didn’t have the money to take care of them, and these girls were very matted, and their toe nails were very long. Lady shows signs of a possible broken leg that had to heal by itself. Because their teeth are so worn down, it’s hard to tell how old they are.
"Abbey" came in with “Lady” These two girls lived outside while their owner was living in a tent. Since Abbey wasn’t on heartworm preventative, she did get heartworms which we are now treating her for. These girls are very devoted to each other and would love to live together the rest of their days. They came in so matted and their toe nails were very long. Because their teeth are so worn down, it’s hard to tell how old they are.
