Goldie is a Mixed Breed, Born in September 2020, Spayed female
My friends at C.A.R.E. call me Goldie, short for Goldilocks, because they say I have the softest, shiniest golden coat and my ears feel like velvet. Look deeply into my stunning eyes, and you’ll see right into my beautiful soul. Check out all my muscles. I am ripped because of my daily workouts and athleticism that I display when working with the volunteers. They take me for runs, long walks, and agility sessions. Besides being athletic, I am also very intelligent. I love to be challenged and stimulated mentally by doing nose work, learning new tricks and trying out all the new puzzle toys at the shelter. I already know most commands and just love learning new ones. I’m a little shy when I first meet new people, but am quick to warm up once I know them. When I bond with you, I love hard and will lean in for pets and scratches and even give out some face kisses. You can walk by a room and sometimes see me sitting in a volunteer's lap. When in new situations, I bark at things that alarm me (especially other dogs), and I will need extended training to walk gently on a leash without reacting. I would do best in a single-family home in a quiet, more rural or suburban neighborhood (I don't think I would enjoy being a city girl). My ideal owner would be a patient, understanding, skilled handler that can offer me comfort, security, and confidence. I hope it’s you! If so, please fill out an application for me, so we can start working out together!

Size: medium / weighs 50 lbs.

Tigger
Domestic Shorthair, Born in 2016, Brown Tabby, Neutered male.
Hi everyone. A big brown tabby boy named Tigger is waiting to meet you! Yes, I'm 14-pounds + of tabby love! I'm pretty easy-going and adjusted quickly when I got to C.A.R.E. I'm an all-around good guy, just ask the C.A.R.E. volunteers. Classic brown tabbystripes and green eyes - that's my package. Purr-sonality-wise, I'm friendly to everyone, affectionate and playful. May I get into your lap please? I will come out to meet anyone who visits me. If you brush me, I will like that and we can bond. Winter is coming, so I recommend you get yourself a lap warmer now. How can you say no to this face? Lets do this!
Adoption Information:
Adoption Fee: $150.
This cat is microchipped, neutered, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

Boshi
Himalayan, Born in 2012, Brown Seal Point, Spayed female, Four paw declawed.
At nine years of age, my world was shattered when I was surrendered due to a family member moving in who has an allergy. It couldn't be helped. I was well cared for and taken to the groomer for my luxurious fur. Shelter life isn't my thing, and I'm anxious to move on. I'd be happy to tell you all about it when you come to meet me. I'm looking forward to a fresh start in a new home. I'm a good kitty, a big girl who's used to being a pampered only cat. Who wants to pamper this Himalayan princess??? Get your application in!

Adoption Fee: $150.

Liam
Domestic Shorthair, Born in 2017, White with Brown Tabby Spots, Neutered male
Special Needs
Hi. I'm Liam and I'm just going to lay it all out. I have anxiety issues, which are currently being treated with meds, I sometimes overshoot my litterbox, but that is manageable with a little ingenuity. I also have very early kidney disease. Yeah, I'm a special needs kind of guy. I'm looking for a caring person, with a quiet home, who will love me for who I am, issues and all. In return for your love, I'll reward you with mine. I really am a nice boy. I like snuggles, I love to play. I just need that special someone, could it be you?
Adoption Information:
Children: No.
Cats: Very selective but probably best as an only cat.
Dogs: No.
Adoption Fee: $75.
This cat is microchipped, neutered, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

"Once upon a time -- err, correction -- in the present day, there lives a young girl named Goldilocks. Goldie, as she likes to be called, has been living at C.A.R.E. while she waits for her forever home. Despite her beautiful blond fur and matching golden eyes, she has been waiting a long, long time. She isn't as picky as her namesake. After all, she wouldn't mind a food bowl, a chair, and a bed to call her own regardless of the temperature, size, or softness. She just wants a home and a family, preferably one of the human variety without any bears involved. Like her namesake, Goldie is a bit shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she's loyal and true. Goldie has promised the volunteers at C.A.R.E. that if we find her the perfect family, she'll try very hard not to sneak into other people's homes to find one herself." To finish this story and give it the happy ending Goldie deserves, find out more about her and fill out an adoption application at https://carenorthshore.org/dogs#action_0=pet&animalID_0=17411580&petIndex_0=1

Acorn and Autumn
Acorn: Domestic Longhair, Born in June 2021, Calico, Spayed female.
Autumn: Domestic Longhair, Born in June 2021, Calico, Spayed female.
We are two beautiful long hair calico sisters waiting to bring love and joy into your life. We both love to be brushed and combed to keep our long hair silky smooth and petting, well, yes please as often as possible. We also love to play with toys and wand toys and small mice are our favorites. We are good at exploring and can turn just about anything into a toy. Let me introduce myself, Acorn here, I love to play inside tunnels and cardboard cat houses, and I'm really good at stealing toys from my human's hand and running off with it. While my sister, Autumn is a cuddly lovebug and will climb into a lap every chance she gets. We really enjoy sitting or even sleeping in the window to watch the world outside. Does your house have any windows? We'd love to meet you, the sooner the better.
Adoption Information:
Acorn and Autumn are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.
Children: Yes.
Cats: Yes, as long as they can handle these rambunctious kittens.

CLOVER
Border Collie mix, born in October 2019, Female
Hi! I’m Clover, a beautiful, shy girl with big, brown eyes and the cutest freckles on my white paws. My soft, black fur is very silky, and the white markings on my face are pretty adorable. Everyone at C.A.R.E. has been so kind to me, and I get really excited when I see my new friends. My white-tipped tail wags like crazy because I love spending time with them, but I am still cautious of strangers and learning to try to trust. I haven't been exposed to much in my past, and I am discovering all the sights, sounds, and smells of the wonderful world outside, but I'm not going to lie, it is all very scary to me. I am very loving and eager to learn, and I want to bond with my people. On walks, I get fearful when there are a lot of noises and traffic, so I would do best in a single-family home in a quiet neighborhood where I can feel safe. Having a furry companion would be a double bonus because I love to play, and a canine friend will help build my confidence. I am dreaming of a patient, caring family that is willing to work with me so I feel secure. Please fill out an application, so we can start our lives together––forever!
