My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Chunk. He is a gentle giant, weighing in at 18 pounds, and he comes by his name honestly. But, even given his size, he is not an alpha kitty and gets scared easily by loud noises. Chunk is estimated to be about 7 years old. He loves to sit with his people all the time; he would love nothing better than to be a lap kitty for the rest of his days. Purring is one of his favorite activities -- as soon as you start petting him, his purr motor starts running. He gets along with other kitties, as long as they are not aggressive, but dogs are not his thing. Chunk still enjoys playing with little balls and toys. At some point in his life, the tip of one of Chunk’s canine teeth broke off. The vet has assured us that it is not causing any issues, and given his size he has no problem eating. To enjoy his life to the fullest, Chunk needs a quiet home. Maybe you have the perfect place.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Cat adoption fee is $150, and $175 for dogs. We attempt to match the animal's characteristics with the family and their lifestyle. We require an application form, which becomes part of the adoption contract, a personal or phone interview, veterinarian reference if applicable, home visit, and an additional agreement about how the animal will be treated. Cats must be indoors only, not declawed. Dogs must be fenced or leashed when outdoors and treated as part of the family--indoors as much as possible, and always at night. Adopter agrees to provide regular veterinary care, and to return the animal to us if they ever give it up. We reserve the right to check on the animal's welfare from time to time, with appropriate notice.

As a volunteer group, we do not have a facility. Our animals reside in foster homes. We show them at local events and by appointment.

More about this rescue

We are an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue group, with emphasis on mixed-breed dogs and cats. We adopt primarily from our local animal shelter, although we occasionally take in hardship cases. We also assist individuals in our area by advertising on our website animals they need to rehome, if the animals have been spayed/neutered. We donate pet food to a local food bank as well as to the county senior center's pet food distribution. We fund free spay/neuter and vaccinations through a local veterinary service for low-income families. We gratefully accept donations, and we need volunteers for many events. More than anything, we need foster homes.
