Benjamin is a sweet but shy boy looking for a quiet and low commotion home. When he arrived at the shelter he was very nervous of people and it was apparent that he didn't have much contact with them prior, but staff could tell that he was a sweet boy under the rough exterior. A staff member has taken him into foster to continue to work with him in a calmer setting. Once he settles Benjamin loves head and chin pets and will lean right into them and melt. As he's gotten more comfortable he even greets his foster mom with a rub on her legs. He also really loves food! Mealtimes are his favorite time, especially if wet food or treats are included! He is a very vocal boy and still learning how to communicate how he feels to people and even oddly often hisses out of excitement and happiness. Before arriving at the shelter he suffered and injury to his tail, due to this injury his tail was shortened and doesn't seem to have any feeling in what remains. This doesn't seem to cause him any pain or issues. Due to his shy nature Benjamin is recommended to a home with no dogs and older children 12+. He is currently being fostered with other cats with similar quiet and passive personalities and seems to enjoy their presence. If you are interested in meeting Benjamin please contact the shelter to arrange for a meet and greet with the foster. He will likely be very scared during the meet and greet and not show his true personality, but his foster mom will have pictures and videos of him when he's comfortable and settles in a space to share.

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
