Someone took the time to teach Jojo manners, so we know he was cared for and loved at one time. If you're looking for a well-behaved, fun loving boy, please come meet Jojo!

Sponsorship: $650

Specifics: This sweet boy kept getting out of his yard and showing up at the shelter. He was here three times in one week! Sadly the 3rd time the owner did not reclaim him. It wasn’t a huge surprise because the poor pup’s owner called him “Headache.” The volunteers renamed him Raider. Now Raider needs a new home that has some patience and will provide him time to play and exercise to keep him entertained and at home! He is sweet and knows some commands like sit and stay.

Specifics: Archie came to the shelter March 29th. He and another dog were found loose near a dog park. Sweet little Archie was limping around on an injured leg. His leg is obviously broken with significant displacement. We are not sure how long it has been broken, as it has already begun to heal. He will require surgery to repair the leg to avoid pain and discomfort in the future. His leg is splinted for now until he can be rescued and surgery can be performed. Cute Archie is only 26lbs, 3yrs, and heartworm negative. His friend was already adopted, he is very sweet, and he is the perfect size so please come rescue him!!

Shelter arrival date:  02/26/24

Name: Snickers 
Gender: Spayed Female
Age:   8yrs:  
Size/Weight: 48lbs 

ID#: 653912

Medical info: Heartworm negative

Eligible for Rescue:  Now! 

Specifics: Sweet Snickers was surrendered to CCAS on 2/26 because her owner had a hard time keeping her home in the yard. Snickers is an older lady, at least 8yrs old and weighs 48lbs. She has flea allergies and dental disease. On April 5th our veterinarian determined that she had developed a nasty uterine infection called pyometra. Normally our vet would not feel comfortable operating on a pet Snickers’ age, but because Snickers is so sweet, calm, easy to treat, and handle Doc made a super special (and rare) exception. Some extra resources were spent and the vet staff did everything they could to minimize the risk. Snickers was spayed and came through with flying colors. She is a lucky girl and a staff favorite. Snickers is healing well and we would love for her to have a soft place to land and start living the good life. Snickers knows how to sit, shake, other paw, and down when asked. She is heartworm negative. Please come meet her!

Shelter arrival date:  04/06/24

Name: Chloe
Gender: Intact Female
Age:   2yrs:  
Size/Weight: 49lbs 

ID#: 655714

Medical info: Heartworm negative, intact, nerve damage in leg

Eligible for Rescue:  Now! 

Sponsorship: $765

Specifics: Chloe was brought to the shelter 4/6. Sadly, her owner moved away and just left her behind with a roommate. Chloe is 2yrs, 49lbs, and super sweet! She came in with a limp and appears to have nerve damage to her right, front leg. She has feeling in her leg, but can’t move it. It must have been like this for some time as there is significant atrophy of the leg and the skin on top of her foot is thickened from dragging her toes/knuckles. Chloe will need her leg amputated to avoid further damage/trauma. To top it off she is also heartworm positive. The shelter is packed and this poor baby has a couple strikes against her, so she needs rescue AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! Please come meet this sweet and gentle soul. She needs your help!!
