Haaavveee you met Ted!?

Teddy is a ladies man at heart, and he’s looking to settle down. 😎 Coming to us from a hoarding case, this boys never felt like the priority in his relationship. He’s looking to change that! Teddy wants commitment, love and friendship to last a lifetime.

He’s confident in himself, is unbothered by neighboring cats, and struts around the room like he modeled at Paris Fashion Week in a previous life.

Teddy has been in the shelter for months now, and he would really like to get back to lounging in the sun and salmon dinners.

Call 801-208-3168 to set up a meet and greet.

Name: Teddy
Case #: 0825-11443-66
Male, unaltered. Appears young, 2-3yrs.

Introducing One Eyed Jack!!

Jack is looking to be rescued or adopted! He came to us from a hoarding case of nearly 100 cats. He’s been in the shelter with us for a few months now, and is really looking for a place to settle down.

He is missing an eye, but it appears to cause him no issues.

Jack is friendly, but somewhat shy with new people. Given the situation he came from, he just needs a home where he can develop the confidence he needs to become the cat he was meant to be.

Jack is unbothered by the cats in neighboring kennels, and he even allows volunteers to pet him after a slow introduction! Though he has not been formally temperament tested with dogs/cats/kids.

Call 801-208-3168 to set up a meet and greet!

Full of young, happy, socialized energy! He just wants to GO GO GO! Do you blame him? Let's help him get out and spread the word. Videos will be in the comments.

5 months in our care!

Guys! Let me introduce you to my personal favorite (don’t tell the others)! Miss Marley is the twin to my own dog, and if I could adopt an army of them, I would!

She’s an older lady who just wants to lounge and cuddle, she’s goofy and will surely brighten your day.

She’s bound to knock your socks off with her confidence and personality. She’s great on a leash!

This old lady just needs a soft place to land, and spend her days in the sun with you.

She’s done well with some staff pets, but that being said she’s not actually been been temperament tested with dogs/cats/kids.

Name: Cyper
Case #: 0723-12176
Age: ~1yr
S*x: intact male

(More photos/videos in the comments!)

Cyper has been with us since he was roughly 8 weeks old. We’ve had him in our care for 11 MONTHS now. He’s been posted before, and we’ve sought rescue with no success. We really want to see him go!

This young man still has his puppy energy, but he is so well mannered! Cyper has lived with us for ages and has been able to learn routine well! He knows how to sit! Is nice on a leash! And does great in the kennel!

Cyper is confident and happy, he would make a spectacular addition to a household. Bringing nothing but joy with him!

He’s done well with staff pets, but that being said, has not actually been been temperament tested with dogs/cats/kids.

RESCUED

Name: Cookie Monster
Case #: 0623-10309
Age: ~3yr
S*x: intact male

(More photos/videos in the comments!)

12 MONTHS in our care!! Get him adopted!

Cookie Monster is just like his namesake, a fiend for a snack! Very food motivated, and would likely do well with training!!

He’s a big fan of digging, and tries to get out of the fence, so some supervision until trusted is a must. He’s a dog who’s made to do something, and would do well with brain games, or outdoor activity!

Cookie Monster has been affectionate with kennel staff, and after a few treats he does well with any others who pass by!

They’ve not been been temperament tested with dogs/cats/kids.

16 MONTHS IN OUR CARE! someone adopt him!!

A sweetheart among men!! This guy just wants affection. He melts like butter when you love on him (and I’m sure your heart will melt too!).

C**t is easy going, loves to play, and really is just a heartthrob. If you’re looking to add a new man into your life this summer, I suggest checking out C**t!

RESCUED

At risk!! Needs adoption or rescue asap!!

Name: Chipmunk
Case #: 0823-14760
Age: ~3yrs
S*x: Neutered Male

(More photos/videos in the comments!)

NEEDS ADOPTION/RESCUE ASAP! 10 months in the kennel has started to take a turn for Chipmunk. Chipmunk began self traumatizing by running head first into his kennel doors. He was removed from the space and placed in our hospital to live (and receive treatment) for sometime. Since being back in the kennel space he is depressed. Spending most of his day just sitting quietly, disinterested.

Every single staff member comments about how “this is going to be a great dog in a home.”
Chipmunk is incredibly well mannered on his leash, loves to self entertain with a stuffed animal or a tennis ball, and has a personality of an angel. Chipmunk knows how to sit and shake!

Chipmunk is NOT kennel trained, though we believe it’s behavioral (due to hating it here!).

I would not recommend a home with cats! Would be cautious with any small animal, as he’s exhibited some prey drive.

He’s been friendly in passing with dogs, and gives off decent body language when he’s in the same room as them. All that being said, they’ve not been temperament tested with dogs/cats/kids.

Name: Beans
Case #: 1123-21401
Age: ~1.5yrs
S*x: male - intact

(More photos/videos in the comments!)

7 months in our care! Someone get this boy a home!

This young man is a sucker for some attention, be that in the form of affection or in the form of treats! With how food motivated he is, training should be an activity you can manage well!

Being a young man, he’s still full of that puppy energy! But don’t let it go to waste, he’s ready to learn and please!

Beans was a fearful boy when he first came in. He’s still unsure about the original staff members who did his intake, but has grown to love the kennel staff and other treatment members he passes.

He’s progressively gotten better in the kennel environment, and has adapted to routine slowly but well!

They’ve not been been temperament tested with dogs/cats/kids.
