Today is Small Business Saturday, and we are so thankful to the many small businesses that support us. This is Sam from The Pet Center @ Louis Doe Home Center.

Stormie Angel is a beautiful eight-year-old cat who is looking for a loving home where she can watch the world outside the window, play with a feather cat wand, and enjoy some tasty wet cat food. She may be able to live with a cat-savvy dog and would likely be ok with older children who treat her respectfully. If you are interested in welcoming an easygoing cat into your home, fill out an application for Stormie Angel today!

Meet Abby! Abby is a beautiful three-year-old retriever who is just as sweet as pumpkin pie! She has lived with cats before and done well, and may be able to live with another dog given a successful meet and greet, though she may be happiest as the only canine family member. She would do best in a calm, quiet home without too much traffic, so we are recommending her to homes with older kids who understand that sometimes a lady just wants a little space! She can be a bit anxious around new people, and will benefit greatly from positive reinforcement to help her build her confidence. Once she becomes comfortable in her new home, her playful side is sure to come out! If you are interested in adding Abby to your family for the holidays, fill out an adoption application on our website today!

Let's start this week of thanks off right -- with a Happy Tail! April's adopter writes, "We adopted April in May of this year. She has been an absolute sweetheart and she loves everyone she meets, especially here canine sister Maybelle (so now we have April and May haha). They love to share a bed and sleep together every night. April loves to play and snuggle with me. We couldn't have asked for a better cat ❤"

Lexus is a gorgeous, five-year-old cat, and though she is named for a high-end car, she is an easy-to-maintain girl. She found her way to the shelter as a stray mother caring for three kittens. Now that her kittens have grown up and been adopted, Lexus is ready to find a home of her own! Although she may be shy, we know that she will blossom when given time and space in her new home. If you are interested in giving Lexus a home of her very own, fill out an adoption application on our website today!

We are looking for new foster families specifically for adult cats and dogs! Putting adult animals in foster homes has so many benefits! It can help us get more background information on them so we can place them in the best home possible; it gives animals with an extended stay (perhaps for medical, behavioral or legal reasons) a place to settle while they await adoption; and it gives animals that struggle in the shelter environment a break which decreases their stress and anxiety. Not to mention the benefits it will have for you as well! If you have the time and space to foster an adult animal, please visit our website and begin the foster orientation process today!

Tweezer is a handsome, two-year-old pup, whose favorite thing to do (like many hounds) is put his nose to work outside! He previously lived in a home with many other dogs and people, so he would prefer to find a home where he doesn’t need to fight for attention and can receive all the love he deserves. He may be able to live with another dog and older children given a successful meet and greet, and he would do best in a cat-free home. If you are interested in adopting Tweezer, fill out an application on our website today!
